i mean, take a look at the posts that are made that appear on every other site. they tend to not really get commented on, so who is really being lost?

John from over at Row Three here. I think you hit the head on the nail for why we didn’t talk about merging with Film Junk. All of us come from pretty small sites (with the exception of Kurt). If any of you wanted to contribute on Row Three we’d most likely be up for it but I doubt you’d really want to move away from FJ. All of us have pretty much stopped doing any serious work on our own movie blogs.

You are also right on the glut of movie “blogs” one thing we are trying to do is not to just be another news site. We post some new items but I think the real focus is on general discussion and opinion pieces.

I’ll bring your comments up Snow Leopard with everyone else. Perhaps we should slow down a bit on the postings. Perhaps we are going a bit overboard because it is a new site.

Couldn’t agree more — one of the best shows ever! Greg was in a fantastic mood and the story about the ’sex music’ was simply hillarious!

Re: the future of movie blogs and news sites. At the moment they are very fragmented, with unique designs and dedicated readers but redundant stories and opinions. I wonder if eventually a handful of sites will dominate like in the ‘old’ media (TV, newspapers), or whether there will be mega-sites like Yahoo or Google.

I can already see one downside to Row Three: too many posts. It’s almost impossible to keep up with the stories and discussion, even if I visit daily. Cinematical has the same problem. I end up just skipping through the headlines. I almost feel guilty not visiting every day.

I prefer sites/blogs that set themselves a limit on the number of posts per week and focus on particularly interesting stories and give them more depth and allow time for readers, both loyal and casual, to catch up and offer contributions.

I did suggest a Top 5 Foreign Language films in the junkmail a while ago. Will you do that one day or have you canned my suggestion!?!?

Thanks for reading my email.

Cheers.

again, yes, even I as a fan of the books gave it a 2/4 – it was extremely rushed, did not properly convey the books concepts, and did not have enough time to make anything tense or build. I highly doubt you’d want to sit through another hour of it, but to me making it ‘epic length’ would be the only way to have it work at all.

That JunkMail was the fucking best though. I agree with Sean, we need more like that.

This episode was supercute. When the treats came in, that’s definitely a highlight.
