Well…I can honestly say there have been few years I’ve been as glad to see the back of as 2011…and I suspect I’m not the only one here to feel that way.
Thank you to all those who stuck by us in what has been a pretty lean stretch. The visits and the comments help more than you can know.
But no more of that! Here we are in those wonderful few days when we can kid ourselves that everything’s going to be different from now on – so let’s enjoy it!
Here’s hoping for a much better 2012; a year filled to the brim with – as opposed to occasionally interrupted by – monsters, maniacs, and mad science, nunchucks and ninjas, killer animals and amateur pilots, and dreadful, dreadful DVD covers…

Seriously – all the B-Masters have interesting things to say, and I very much enjoy the material I find here.

Just de-lurking to say, while I rarely post here, I always enjoy all the B-Masters’ sites, and when your Cabal is ready to put its sinister plots for world domination into effect, I’ll be a loyal minion- so long as you let me keep my cats, my books, and Internet access, at least. Oh, and Happy New Year!

If it’s world domination in which *I* have any say, cats, books and internet access will be compulsory.
Possibly also comfy armchairs.

Have I told you lately that I adore you?
I’m a couple minutes early (for my time zone anyway), but here’s to every member of this community, be it writers of reviews, writers of comments, or just lurking readers. Success, joy, love…if you want it, may you have it in 2012.
Before we all die. (Thanks a lot, Mayans.)
*hoists a glass of rum-heavy eggnog*
Salut! Happy New Year’s to my brothers and sisters in B-movies!

A nice long-haired white Persian cat to gently pet…
An original copy of the Necronomicon to leaf through…
Hacked internet access to the world’s banks and defense computers…
Yes, it’s a good life.

Don’t forget the armchairs! I could really use one.

Helped more then you can know…the feeling is mutual. Whenever there’s a new review it just adds that spoonful of sugar to my day.
Cats, books, internet, armchairs, and peppermint bark. All set for the new world order, Ma’am Sir!

Well, I hope that 2012 brings great prosperity to each of the B-Masters. I religiously check the blog once every few hours (at least at work while programming in ABAP) just to make sure I can read a review as soon as it’s posted. I’m looking forward to your reviews in 2012, even if I’ve slacked off in commenting on them. 🙁

Ditto. Keep up the great work, guys.

I’ve been reading the reviews here for years. YEARS. I’ve been entertained (by lots of fine writing), educated (about movie making, story telling, science, politics, history and many more subjects I wouldn’t have expected) and perplexed (by all the strange movies) more times than I can count. As long as you folks keep posting I’ll keep coming back.

Actually, some of us were a bit grateful for the relatively sparse posting. It allowed me to finally complete my goal of reading every. Single. B-Masters review still extant on the web. So…bring on the reviews, guys! I’m finally all caught up and ready to go.

Yes another year. And I hope that we do get more reviews. They tend to brighten my day. So whos up first for 1212?

Why, that’d be Sir Reginald Begg, whose scrolls pertaining to the worst in theater are well-regarded. Sadly, he would later be burned at the stake as a heretic for his insistence in a dark heathen god who watched over those who created said terrible theater.

Ironically, the judge who sentenced Sir Begg to death?
Lionel, Lord of Kingsley.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

Happy 2012, B-Masters! I’m mostly a lurking reader, but I really enjoy every review, it’s always a pleasure to read such wonderful articles. Keep the monsters, vampires, ninjas and other gifts of life in motion!
(And i´m gonna be a loyal minion too… can I keep my kiss records?)

What kind of records are we talking about? Photographs? Police reports? Guinness?

Kiss records, the most beautiful music in town, the greatest band in the world, that kind. (I hope the police records get lost in the upcoming disaster, and the ugly photographs too… Guinness, if it’s the beer I want to keep it too)

Happy 2012! Last year ever, apparently, so may as well get it all out there, eh? lol

If none of the B-Masters reviews the film in question, I’ll be sad.

I always check on the Cabal at least twice a week. I think we all have had a hard year. Let’s look forward to the next year with bright eyes.

I may not comment all that often, but I always enjoy the posts here. (And when I do comment, the average length of my comments is high enough that each one counts for three anyway (okay, probably not really).)
