From the editor | The House Next Door

By Matt Zoller Seitz on August 31, 2007 in Film Jump to Comments (0)

This is the 1000th post since The House Next Door began publication January 1, 2006. I'm using it to thank everyone who reads us, links to us, quotes us and takes issue with us. I'd also like to express my deep gratitude to my co-editor, Keith Uhlich; my art director and technical troubleshooter, Jeffrey Hill; the good Samaritan known as Ed Copeland, who has stepped in during many a crisis and saved my bacon; my treasured sounding board, Sars; my wonderful roster of contributors, all of whom I'm proud to call friends; and last but not least, Hannah and James, the most patient children who ever walked the earth.

Odie: Personally I'm partial to Waylon Jennings as the narrator.

"Ole Odie's in a heap o' trouble now. I don't know about y'all, but I'm about to toss my gravy."
Posted by Matt Zoller Seitz on 2007-09-02 23:28:00 You deserve major props for building a great place for commentary and critique. One of the original bloggers of the Internet, James Lileks, calls "The House" a rare treasure - no higher praise than that.

For me, you were more than helpful with my halting efforts to contribute and I learned a lot from your patience.

Rock on Matt - congratulations.
Posted by Sheik Yerbootie on 2007-09-02 23:11:00 Congrats, Matt and the House, on this milestone event! Time to make that House Next Door documentary! I think it should be narrated by Leonard Nimoy and Madame, the puppet created by Wayland Flowers. (I almost wrote "Waylon Jennings." Imagine that: Waylon Jennings and Madame! That Dukes of Hazzard theme song sure would have sounded different.)

Congrats again.

Posted by Keith Uhlich on 2007-09-01 12:26:00 Thanks to everyone at House Next Door, from Matt and Keith, the fearless leaders, to the person who lurks and only comments every once in a while. It's a great read every morning, and I look forward to all of your thoughts.

It's been an honor to contribute to your site. I wish I contributed more. I'll try to do more.
Posted by Aaron Aradillas on 2007-08-31 18:05:00 I'll be the first in a long line of right-back-at-cha's. Thank you for creating a place where people who want to dig deeper can come and dig.

Thank you and everyone who contributes, checks in or just lurks. It's a great place for a true cinephile to come and hang out.

Keep doin' what you're doin'.
Posted by William on 2007-08-31 12:56:00 Rock on, Matt. Thanks for keeping such a great site for conversation.
