A Little Bit About THIS Movie Blog…

So I want to set up a few ground rules so that we can all enjoy this blog.

1. I don’t want anyone to be disrespectful to another person. I know that there are some people out there that actually liked the Legally Blonde movies but we don’t have to call them names. They already know they are dumb.

2. Nobody is wrong! We all have opinions about movies and sometimes we can get pretty heated up about them. Just remember that we are all different and that we all see movies through the prism of our own life experiences. For example: My uncle, one of my closest friends, doesn’t like any Quentin Tarantino movie. I love them all (except Death Proof with was borderline coma inducing). We have decided to not discuss Tarantino movies because we don’t agree and never will. Neither of us if wrong, we just see things differently.

3. NO F********* PROFANITY…unless necessary. I am not going to get all puritanical on you guys, but I am of the opinion that profanity is not needed in a movie critique. It is the equivalent of someone saying “I didn’t get it.” or “That movie sucked! Why? Because it did” when they watch a movie they don’t care for. Profanity can be used in quotes or when needed to get a point across, but not because you disagree with someone else.

4. Enjoy the blog and participate. The only way that you will get anything out of this blog is if you put something into it. I know that not all of you will watch every movie every week. There may be some weeks where I miss one. The point is that we try to participate.

5. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES POST A MOVIE SPOILER! The only way I can see this rule being broken and me not falling into a white hot cauldron of my own rage is if you are posting about a spoiler that is widely known (i.e. that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father, and that Leia and Luke are sister/brother). That is forgivable because if you are reading this site, then you probably have already seen Star Wars more times than you are old. Otherwise, no spoilers please.

Aside from those rules, this will be an open, uncensored forum for people to come together to share their love of movies and make friends that feel the same way.

I hope you enjoy.
