Our parents always wanted us to be a C-lister.

In more ways than one, the blogosphere is a lot like Hollywood. You may have gotten on that bus with a suitcase packed full with raw talent and stardust dreams, but you better believe when you arrive they’re dropping you off at the corner of Toiling in Obscurity Street and No One Gives A Crap About You Lane.
But you work hard. You stick to it. You don’t let anyone tell you that it can’t be done. And yes, you cry through the night. You cry a lot, really a lot. A lot more than perhaps other men cry. More than you should probably be willing to admit to others.
And then…you break through.
We’re proud to announce that the blogging monument to self-absorption site Blogebrity has deemed Burbanked worthy of being added to its vaunted lists. We are officially…a C-lister.
Now being on the C-list may not sound like much to you, but believe us, it’s a very, VERY big deal. Do you know anyone else with a blog that’s currently listed right between fybix.net and someone called “lonewacko“?
Just take a look at some of these other so-called “C-listers”:
- Blogging grandaddy Harry Knowles at AICN
- The terrific, a-little-something-for-everyone site The Simon
- BAFTA-nominated screenwriter John August
- Peggy Archer’s excellent behind-the-scenes film crew blog
- Extra special famous comedian Margaret Cho
- And, well, Rosie O’Donnell
So let this be a lesson to any of you nay-sayers, you glass-half-empties, you crushers of ambition and creativity (that includes you, junior high school math teacher!). Dreams can come true. We’ve got the stinkin’ badge to prove it.
My blog-love affair with cartoonist Doug Savage’s terrific daily Savage Chickens (

because clearly Cage has decided to become action/thriller cinema’s first Polish great-grandma. (
Well, that’s too bad. Back a year or so ago when I heard that they’d be making a movie out of Judi and Ron Barrett’s terrific kids’ book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I hoped maybe it’d be made live-action. Handled well, the idea of seeing an actual town where it rained hotdogs and baked beans in an open-roof restaurant, as well as the bit where sanitation trucks clean up all the leftover rain/snow/food and feed it to the pets would be, I thought, a bundle of CG-imbued cinema fun.

Yes. Thanks. Maybe we should keep our personal lives out of this…
