I'll read blogger reviews, as long as I know they will be spoiler free 100%, but otherwise I fear spoilers too much. All that extra crap is just that, crap, especially when taken out of context to the film.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-17345873475184113452010-06-19T15:29:31.926-04:002010-06-19T15:29:31.926-04:00I never read reviews and watch clips for a movie I...I never read reviews and watch clips for a movie I want to watch.

Most of the time those clips are lame due to the lack of meaning they possess without the rest of the story.<br /><br />Senski: I feel the same way. I find so many treasures from the past that I never heard of, but my interest is piqued because of the to the point synopsis, cast, a director, or whatever tickles my fancy. It's nice to make those discoveries because they have no hype behind them.<br /><br />Emily: It must have to do with keeping the product in peoples minds. Like if the email receivers don't get constant reminders, they will forget, so the need to send out useless reminders would be the logical step. Unfortunately, if it ain't good in the subject, it probably ain't getting read. <br /><br />POT: Indie stuff is always put on the back burner at most sites for the latest casting news, or what have you, all the time. I understand that from a business standpoint the sites need to have a steady flow of the big news stories and gossip, but to flood the market with them instead of mixing things up is where the problem lies. <br /><br />Some sites are better than others, of course, but when there are four or five sites with nearly identical front pages, I start to shake a little.<br /><br />Chris: Yeah, that is another issue that will someday be vented around here I am sure. What happened with the first [REC] was a major pile of bullshit. That film should have come out on DVD way before it did, but instead, it got pushed back for the inferior remake. *Fart noise*Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-40750505761190277492010-06-17T16:09:46.843-04:002010-06-17T16:09:46.843-04:00Amen, preacher man.

Tell me some interesting things about production, things you don't normally hear or read about. Stop telling me which flavor of the day actor/actress has been casted for a film.<br /><br />And I hardly ever share those press releases. Whoever they hire for their marketing should be shot. Firing off emails without taking the time to understand content and whether or not it would be value-add to that particular site is just really bad marketing.<br /><br />I'm more annoyed by the fact that what gets reported as top 'news' gets higher billing over independent horror film coverage. But thats a whole other topic altogether, one that I'll be writing about to join in the internet cry fest right along with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-31664210249755424682010-06-17T07:52:59.646-04:002010-06-17T07:52:59.646-04:00I agree wholeheartedly.

When I first starting receiving those press releases, I felt so ridiculously cool but never once have I felt the need to share anything of it with my readers. It's odd, because I actually do work in marketing (though sadly not of the horror movie ilk) and I'm constantly arguing the same points to superiors regarding mailings: there has to be a reason to get them out to a certain group and if you keep bombarding your audience with the same presentation, they'll just turn off every time they receive something with your address on it.<br /><br />Then in terms of horror, we've been so defeated so many times. I can't let myself get excited about anything new anymore because i'ts so much more gentle to just keep my expectations in check.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-35585555770289818612010-06-17T02:04:10.098-04:002010-06-17T02:04:10.098-04:00Spot on.

We know far too much about films before we see them, and the actual viewing of them becomes so perfunctory -- just the last act of an endless campaign of hype. I love it when I stumble upon a film at 1 in the morning, and all I know about it is the mini-synopsis that the cable system provides. And if it's a halfway decent movie, I feel like I've uncovered treasure.senskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469603484774090192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235923248137948919.post-83126773339587272162010-06-17T00:29:58.794-04:002010-06-17T00:29:58.794-04:00Word, brother.

What the heck is that? Why on earth would you want to see 14 1-3 minute clips which will equal half the movie? Garrr!The Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09871017982169159144noreply@blogger.com
