Welcome to Matt Singer's home page and online intellectual buffet. The line forms to the left; as usual, all you can eat.
I'm a '02 graduate of Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications, a Television-Radio-Film major with minors in psychology and history. I've just completed the first year of my Master's in Cinema Studies at New York University. I love film and comics, but my preference lies in writing about them rather than making them myself.
Currently, I have my own biweekly movie review column on Movie Poop Shoot, "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." I'm also the film critic at Pop Thought, where I write about any movie I catch in theaters. I've also contributed film and comics journalism and criticism to a number of sites including UGO.com, and Slush Factory, and defunct sites REACTOR Magazine, Grayhaven Magazine, and The Mad Review.
Formerly, a hideous creation of my own design, this website was recently beautifed by genius web designer Chris Butcher. The links at the left will take you to archives of my writing or pictures, and you have him to thank for it.
LATEST UPDATE: May 10th, 2004: With so much work constantly going on in the Writing department of this website, I've completely ignored this page for the length of this semester. It seems to me (and tell me if I'm wrong), that if you're coming here, you're coming here to look at my writing anyway. In that department, I'm doing well; almost 50 columns (150 films) at MoviePoopShoot and nearly 25 reviews at PopThought. So work is being done to improve the functionality of this website, but I don't want to tell you when it'll be done because the last time I said that my estimate was way, way off. So just hang tight. In the meantime, I've updated the pictures on this page (the old ones were both from Syracuse), and I've gutted and revamped the links page, which, to my astonishment and embarrassment, hadn't been updated in over a year and a half. Your music recommendation to renovate your webpage by is A.M. the first album from Wilco.
