Major Announcement: Arch Nemesis is evolving again. We’ll still review movies and discuss industry news, festivals, and award ceremonies, but I want the niche part of this newsletter to promote practical effects and movie magic.
I’m not going to make this an “anti-Marvel Studios” newsletter despite my urges to do so. Instead of darkening the superhero genre, let’s shine a light on the ones we love. Here at Arch Nemesis, we love practical effects, originality, and the craft of filmmaking.
Now, that doesn’t mean I won’t review Marvel or handle those films with kid gloves - I’ll see most of them and review them fairly. Also - Beehiiv is really confusing, so we’re not quite ready to make a move there. But that is coming as well.
I was going to change the name of the newsletter, but Marty’s a Smartie is a dumb name. We are keeping Arch Nemesis. Maybe I’ll add a lowercase “the” like the first Facebook. New and improved, welcome to “the Arch Nemesis”
I must have missed the earlier name change. Glad to see you haven’t lost your passion!
