Welcome, strangers.
Did you stumble onto my blog somehow?My name is Matt, many people call me Slay. (I didn't come-up with it, so don't blame me.)
I am the artistic director of Available Light.
Looking over these posts, I see that I write about movies, music, and books a lot. And I take lots of pictures in NYC and at midnight movies.
Life must be pretty good, eh?

I can hardly believe I did this. I’m even trying to put them in order. Anyway, if you like this, come back as we slowly count down to my favorite movie of the past ten years. I’ll give you a hint – it’s not a Star Wars movie.

I’m trying to tell you it’s a dream come true. Get over there. Click around. Get lost for a few hours.
In fact, to encourage you, here’s my list of the [...]
