Hey, what are you getting me for my birthday?

yours truly
I'm just saying. It's this Friday so you don't have much time!
I suggest a donation to the site (see side bar) or, better yet, a subscription. There are three options on the pull down. But if we only had 300 more subscribers at the price of a cup of coffee a month things would be easier to manage.
Your suscription dimes make an enormous difference to The Film Experience in terms of stability and budget to dream bigger. Consider...
THANKS IN ADVANCE
For those who can't commit to a dime a day, consider a one time donation for an article or a series or an you were glad you didn't have to live without. Or toss us a nickel for every time you looked at an Oscar chart last year (no wait. none of you can afford that! that shit adds up!)
If you have no pennies to spare (I've been there, trust) please consider sharing articles you like on facebook and emailing articles you like. We gotta grow to compete with the ever expanding marketplace of movie blogs.

My contributions are meaningless to you. I'm the Glenn Close to your average Academy voter.
Just gave my first donation to the cause. Happy Birthday! From a near-daily reader, keep it up!
thanks tbone!
Nathaniel, would you consider making your Amazon wishlist public?
Nathan, you got a donation coming as soon as I bounce back from my recent move. This site is essential reading.
sorry man, I can't give you anything but my most sincere BEST WISHES. next year maybe.
You look super thin and moisturized already! That routine is working.
I promise, the minute I have a steady job I will start donating regularly. I spend more time on your site than I feel right doing for free.
Happy birthday! I sent you a small donation, but I also wanted to send along a thanks for all that you do. I'm a longtime reader, and your blog is wonderful!
I co-sign what Liz says!
I just want to say this site has the most respectful posters on the planet. How many times do you go to message boards and people are downright mean and hurtful or criticize grammar/spelling...
None of that here ! I'm feeling the love.
I am a near 14 year reader, and this is a terrific site. I am happy to donate today--- early birthday wishes, Nathaniel!
Nat, I was already donating a monthly amount but then I got an email saying you suspended my payments. Do you know what that's about?
I do not. let me look into it.
THANK YOU ALL OF THE KIND WORDS!
oops...forgot to say...Happy Birthday!!
I asked Ms. Kidman to sing to you ala Madonna on SNL doing her Madonna thang.
Nat, you look so hot! XD
Love both you and your blog!
Happy Birthday!!
Long time reader, first time poster. I have been reading the blog daily and I feel like I should contribute. Happy Birthday and keep blogging!
solomon - it's an optical illusion. that picture is like 9 months old and somehow i gained a million lbs since then. hence my sudden workout plans - i have been to the gym 3 times this week. go, me.
mrpckles - thank you!
I had been subscribing and then I forgot to update my PayPal, so this was a good reminder. Resubscribed!
