Okay, I just want to make a point, again. I used to post the most film reviews here (I think 26-28 in January)

I got tired of them getting buried, so just cut back: what was the point?

Today, I posted one about Kingpin. It had some responses, and then had none for nearly 6 hours. I bumped it, and it got a lot more responses.

IT GOT BURIED REALLY QUICKLY.

You could point out that I posted it at a god-awful time. But I can tell you from experience, if you post them at a busy time, THEY GET IMMEDIATELY BURIED, UNLESS IT'S A MOVIE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE SEEN.



I hang around OOT a lot, and I'm tired to trying to do entertainment stuff, just to see it washed away. I'm tired of hearing whines about 'I don't come here to read film reviews' or suchlike.


Does anyone see my point here?


Second point: We're debating about people who don't come into OOT - these are by definition completely unrepresented here. Don't make tons of assumptions. It's best THEY get asked about this too, somehow.

I've told DB that the reason I don't post my own film reviews is it seems like too much work to do something and then see it insta-buried, especially since the people who do them are often jumped all over in a negative way.

So I see his point.
