I have always wondered how film critics stay employed. All they do is post their opinions about movies that most of us already do here for free. I try not to read any of their articles on any movies I plan to see because often times I find myself disagreeing with them. I tend to have a very negative view on what they have to say. I was wondering if there is anyone that might read this that live by what they write? Do you read their reviews before you go see the next big movie? Or do you totally ignore what they have to say and read reviewers on a website like this one? I tend to agree a lot more with what people here have to think about movies than anywhere else. Tell me what you think.

Well I haven't really ever thought of doing my own blog because I'm usually too busy reading all the goodness that are other's blog(ges)....but this ongoing writers strike has got me worried a bit. Are the writers going to get everything they want (and deserve) from the major studios? After seeing the success of the reality shows being talked about by several entertainment writers I'm pretty scared. I for one just hate the reality scene, not just because they seem to be popular, but because most of it is mindless trash.

If it is true about the new wave of reality television finding it's mark on the open schedules that scripted tv has left are the studios even going to push for very many new and creative shows? I still hold out hope that they will give the writers whatever their due is and get them back to work. Reality tv is more than a fad....unfortunately....but it will never have the lasting draw as scripted television....Honestly do you think years after American Idol ends (hopefully sooner than later) there will be events popping up like the Slayerfests or the Star Trek conventions? God I hope not.

Well that was my first attempt on a blog and it felt good. Next time maybe I will give something a little more thought before I jump into it blindly.
