Am I the only one that finds it kind of weird that a reviewer/critics gets exited when his quote is put in a poster or whatever? I understand the excitement, as most of the new media critics are fanboys, and it is pretty cool. But it also comes off as such a huge conflict of interest for many different reasons. Maybe I'm overthinking this shit. But it does sound cool as fuck though.

I don't mean anyone in particular, actually those guys are great, and the never "mark" out when they get their shit on a poster, or whatever. They are actually pretty professional bout. But there's other who don't and totally expose their desire to be on a poster, and thus creating a conflict of interest, but that's just a consequence of new media(ex. movie websites) IMO. It's no ones fault.

I know what you're saying, heh. I love it when the JoBlo/AITH folk get their shit quoted on a movie poster or video box or somethin'!

True Blood, had me a little worried in the beginning as it was a little to wacky for its own good, but then found a way to get awesome as it built to the end. Good first episode of the new season.

The wonders of living in L.A. and its wonderful dark alleys!!! I got me clean copies of Mother's Day (2010) and 13 starting an fucken great ensemble cast. I justify these hookups by knowing that this is the only way to watch these films right now. What a joyess Sat. night it will be.

Fuck yeah!!!, just got a batch of never released on dvd, late 80's early 90's horror films. Im kicking it off, with the underground classic, Psycho Cop. It's about a devil worshiping cop, who kills a bunch of dumbfuck 30 year old teens, at a pad. but the best part of this film, is when psycho cop kills someone he always has pun related to police jargon, i love this shit!!!

I know there's quite a few people here from Chicago. Ill be there this weekend to cheer my dodgers on against the Cubs. Any place I can go after the game to get fucked up? Or any cool place in general. In other words, what the fuck is there to do in Chi-town?

Honestly - buy a baseball at the game, walk out of the stadium, cover your eyes, throw the ball and go there. All the bars there are great (And I'm a Sox fan). Harry Carry's is the go to bar. Barleycorn is always a good time. I've heard (Moved to San Diego) Casey Moran's is the new 'it' bar. But honestly, once you walk out of the stadium go to the bar you hear the most fun coming out of - it's harder to NOT find a place to go then to find one.

Awesome, thanks man, you go me even more hyped for the trip. It's my first time in Chicago. but it's part of my man mission to watch a ballgame in every single MLB ballpark in the country.

The moment a critic is scared to burn a bridge, he loses all credibility with me. And that's been happening more and more lately. A critic should always look at the business from the outside in, not from the inside out. There's nothing worse than a critic becoming a "mark" for his own work.

That's because critics want to be celebrities. If they want to keep knowing the big names they have to keep from hurting feelings. Once the bridges are burned, they cease to become the celebrities they so crave to be. That's about 80 percent of the critic culture right now. Something I try to keep from doing in my writing.

Got a chance to watch Bedevilled, what a great fucken film, from it's awesome setups, to it's last 40 minutes, just awesome. What brings it down from 4 stars for me, is the lack of character development with the villains, but other than that, A- all the way.

Checked out Hobo with a shotgun, lost me in the middle a bit, since there was really no story, but hooked me back up at the end, with it's incredibly outrageous ending. Liked it a lot.

See, I was with it for the most part until the end, when I started getting a bit tired of it. I think the lead villain was my biggest problem; I couldn't take much more of his screaming.

Wow, is Kevin Smith self destructing right in front of our eyes? And all this because of one film. This man's ability to take critism is like zero to none, which is funny because he to is a self professed fan boy, which would make it a whole easier to take the critiques from people, since he should know the score by now. With early reviews of Red State, coming out, who knows how insane this man is gonna get.

I'm with you Jim, it sucks balls. I don't get the hype. The only thing it has going for it is the hot women. I'll always be grateful to the show however for getting my sweet Anna naked though.

Had a pretty good time, with the Night of the Demons remake. Had a total Halloween vibe, not seen since as years Trick R Treat. Went down pretty smooth during this time of year. Not as good as the original though.

Just finished principle photography on my first film called "Punished". The feeling of accomplishing this is indescribable, I don't have any kids, so for now, this is the greatest feeling in the fucken world. Scratch this shit off the bucket list LOL.
