Welcome to my site!
Hello you...internaut! Welcome to My Own Private Cinema!
As you can probably guess, this website is mostly about...movies!
My name is Edoardo, but you can also call me Edward.
A few years ago I used to write on my school's blog, but it got shut down, and I've been feeling kind of restless in the last few months. I just...have the need to write about stuff that I love, and maybe share that feeling with somebody, you know?
Hope you like the place...and don't mind the mess!

Kzzt...testing, testing...do you receive me? Whoa, there we go! I've been feeling quite motivated this last few days and, as I wrote yesterday, I've added many things to the new website. First of all, I feel like the new website finally has a goal and an overall meaning. It just feels more organic, you know? I've written a "manifesto" or something like that. The blog will finally have a dedicated page, and it won't just be a text box on the home page. Of course, the 'Flick of the Week' will remain, but I'll also write about my favorite movies, my thoughts about them, retrospectives, curiosities, also first impression after going to the cinema and so on...
Also, since the name of this website is 'My Own Private Cinema' and not 'Cinema', I'll rant about my other hobbies, photography in the first place. I've already created a photogallery where I display my favorite shots and show you my current projects. I'm really happy about it. Feels like my own space. See you soon!

Here I go again! There was no 'Flick' this week! Sorry! It's been a rough month and I've been pretty busy with my university. But I've got good news! The new website is almost ready! It's going to be drastically different but I've decided to adopt a more humble and cozy style. I feel like the current website is a bit confusing, and my current layout is not that great. I don't want to abandon the current style completely, so I'll probably adopt it again once I got the hang of it all. Anyways, the new website will have a movie archive section, a new blog page, a review page and a photogallery! I like how it's coming along, and it's going to go online really soon. Stay tuned!

I decided to start sharing some music too! Now there's a small box called 'Album of the Week!'. Guess what? I'll upload a recommended album once a week while I figure out the rest of the website. I'm a bit busy attending classes this month, so I'm mostly tired and I don't have a lot of energy to focus on the website. I'd love to work on it more, but I still need to figure things out a bit.

Back again! I was studying for an exam (which didn't go very well, by the way) and had no time to work on the website. I've finally completed the blog section (which will will go online with the rest of the website in a while). Now I'm trying to figure out what to add in the rest of the website...what to share and what to say. There's going to be a page about digital and analog photography for sure. I'm also trying to figure out how to create this movie database I've been imagining. I wanted to build some kind of browsable archive with movie opinions and recommendations. Maybe pages about music and gaming would be nice too. Lots of ideas!

The new website layout and design are coming along nicely. I must say I am quite satisfied. It will take a while before the new version goes online, but not too much!

Okay so, I'm thinking of changing things a bit. I like the whole 'computer terminal' vibe of my website, but I think it's probably too heavy/difficult to read, so I think I'll make it simpler, still computer-inspired, but simpler. I have many ideas roaming inside my brain and I like them all, so I'll just experiment them on VSCode and see what works best. Also I've been roaming around Neocities and I've found a few resources which are really helpful. Deuces!

I've noticed that the scroll-boxes on the website don't work really well on Firefox, because I've used the -webkit- prefix to customise them. Gonna work on a fix in the next few days...

Okay, seems like I've fixed a bunch of issues with the layout. I also cleaned up the CSS code since it was becoming a bit messy. I'm having fun! I also added Responsive Web Design (kinda, it still has a few issues), so the page should display pretty well on most screen sizes.

Hellooo Internet, seems like I'm back from the dead!
I was a bit busy studying for an exam, but in the last few days I've finally found some time to come up with a decent layout.
Hope you like it.
I added this funny box on the left of the home page called "Flick of the Week" (or of the month?). It displays movies that I love and recommend, along with some thoughts about it.
I probably need to optimize some stuff. The CSS style sheet is a total mess, and yeah, sorry about the huge empty space down here, I'll come up with something cool.
Also...I've added the guestbook! You can reach it through the nav bar!
Go on, write something!!!
