    Blogging is different than writing, it takes a certain type of person to be good at blogging :manny:

    I'll ask all of those guys though.

    I think having round tables instead of straightforward reviews for the movies or tv shows would be great

    Like have a group of five writers answer specific questions in a discussion format rather than write straight forward reviews. It would allow for multiple points of view, and you could use different people depending on whose seen which movie or tvshow (although people like twan and woody would be a viable option for basically every round table about a film, becuase them n----s watch everything)

    Like, for example, I'm gonna watch Inherent vice in a few days and I would love to do a round table about it with people like twan, woody, dew, vahn, captain awesome etc.

    I think things like this will come with time, I've got some ideas for this as well but I don't want to post them in here and set expectations if they don't pan out. I'd rather surprise and delight.

    @Big Country asked me if we have an identity consistent throughout our reviews, and that was a great question. Until one writer really emerges, I think it'll be a lot of 'seeing what works' before our review section takes shape.

    My short term goal right now is just to get the blogging in quality shape, the reviews will be my next focus.

    Posters like @Dew and @Vahn have gotten to be way more versed in film knowledge than me in the last few years, and I really do think they have great taste. They're not as knowledgable as twan or woody but we all have pretty good taste/writing ability if I do say so myself

    Yeah I agree. And you're right, this should all be stuff we handle via PMs. Not that suggestions shouldn't be open to the forum, but that we shouldn't jump the gun promising things publicly

    Really excited to see this up and running! I have faith this is gonna grow.

    Great review @Narsh, I'm always wary of long reviews of a single song, but you kept me engaged for 2000 words.

    Thanks man. I wrote it on the bus on my iPhone at first lol, there was just so much to touch on. And I had so many different theories on why "Only One" was the follow up to Yeezus.

    Also, I honestly just finished doing final edits for it, so it's even better :allears:)

    thanks for the feedback tho guys :wiggins:
