He Shot Cyrus - The Origins

Since I've started He Shot Cyrus, I've had quite a few people ask me to explain the blog's title. You can read my second post--the one about The Warriors or you can watch this clip.

I was sitting around one day thinking about how few opportunities I have to write about film. I'm currently an MA student who's focusing on Cinema Studies. There's plenty of opportunities to write academic-style papers but what I wanted was to write about the movies that I love on a more personal level. That's when I decided to start a blog of my own. I had often read other film blogs and thought I could give an interesting twist to what I had seen so far.

My favorite movie of all-time is The Warriors and I tried to think of my favorite lines from it--hoping that something would be catchy enough to use as a title. That's when it hit me. The scene I just posted jumped out at me and it all clicked. "He Shot Cyrus." The rest was history. It's been a few weeks now and the feedback I've received has been great. I've got a few more posts in the works and I hope everyone continues to enjoy the blog. Make sure to check out the links I've posted on my blog roll (located on the right side of the screen). There are some great sites there that you'll probably enjoy.

Thanks for reading.
