Atheist/Agnostic Alliance
A community for individuals who prefer reason and science to superstition and tradition. This is a group for thinkers and film enthusiasts who have challenged the ideals of religion and bettered their lives because of it.
Guy on the Gulf commented on Mark & Beth's group 'Movies with a Kink'"With "Kink" and the lighter side of the absurd, Harold and Maudeis bot funny and unexpected, and am always drawn back when I need a belly-laugh
For those who can appreciate the lighter side of tragedy, and prefer escape to logic,…"
Guy on the Gulf replied to verwon's discussion 'Had a really bad disc tonight!'"Re: scratched DVD's -- I use a toothpaste called "Vicco." the abrasive ingredient in the toothpaste is chalk, and it is just abrasive enough to clean the disk without damaging it. Sometimes, I need to do it twice, and obviously get…"

Guy on the Gulf replied to Netflowers's discussion 'NETFLIX WEBSITE'"This is both transitory and transitional. The site by NF's own standards is going through a major repair. This person is THAT good, so do keep at it.

Guy on the Gulf replied to Netflowers's discussion 'My Favorites' in the group Play It Again"I just finished watching "When Night is Falling." On a 1 to a 10, I would give it no less than an eleven! What a profound film! I cannot think of another word to describe it. I once dated a Mulatto lady who could have been her twin;…"
Guy on the Gulf replied to Netflowers's discussion 'NETFLIX WEBSITE'"For example, the person below writes pristine reviews, and is about as good or better than anyone you will find. He does not look the part, but he is THAT good! He did the first review on "The Hustler" and you can plainly tell, he knows…"
Guy on the Gulf replied to Netflowers's discussion 'NETFLIX WEBSITE'"I called NF today, but avoided discussions regarding Friends. I took them through various reviews and showed them that, in many cases, "unhelpful" reviews were placed ahead of "helpful reviews." I actually had the people at NF…"
Guy on the Gulf replied to Just Gus's discussion 'The reason(s) why we go back to the same well over and over again!' in the group Play It Again"One of the criteria that I use to determine if the film resonated with me, is if I would feel inclined to see it again. Sometimes I will see it one time for the story. And if I am not noticing the acting, then it must be good acting. For example,…"
Guy on the Gulf left a comment for Film Grrrl"Film Grrrl's Review --
Luscious atmosphere, characters with depth, scintillating love scenes and a wonderful ensemble cast make this a true hit in the lesbian cinema. The struggles our heroine faces are real ones -- real for all people, and…"

- About Me:
- I am semi-retired and have love to watch, as well as review, good film. Essentially, I watch for escape; the better the acting, editing, directing, cinematography, the easier it is to "escape." There is nothing better than a good film, and nothing worse than a bad film!
"I love to Write Reviews"
I have always loved the craft of writing, so I make efforts to post the best reviews that I can.There is a "high" revising the reviews over and over until I get it right, And, hopefully, it will resonate with the reader. Writing reviews makes me focus on the film all the more. It is not uncommon for me to spend a full day, then come back the second day as I "hear" my work aloud, for a better perspective.
When I am not writing film reviews, I love to write haiku -- Here are just a few:
pebbled path -
a red wagon filled
with soda bottles
moonlight swim -
her hair lengthens
with the first stroke
the slow turn
of a barber's pole -
afternoon heat
John

- Sorry to reply to your comment this late. I was traveling and did not have access to the Internet all the time. Why do I choose Netflix as the case to study? Well... I was very impressed by the fact that the content of their website is primarily bottom-up user-generated. And I was intrigued by people's efforts on reviewing movies on the website for other users. A large community of film reviewing/critiquing seems to be forming on the website though recently I learned that some people are not entirely satisfied with their community feature. Well.... I shoudn't say too much about my rationale, assumption, or direction of the research in order to get more authentic feedback now and in the future. In any case, I may send you my questions to you later since I sense you are a good informant for the study. :)

Film Grrrl said… - Film Grrrl has seen TtV -- several times -- and it's a Film Grrrl Fave. (FG has reviewed it, too, on NF) FG esp. likes Miss May, which is saying much given that Miss Hawes is in the film. Kisses, FG.

- Film Grrrl thanks you for your kind note. Film Grrrl loves her fans, and writing reviews. Kisses, FG.

David replied to Dig-Me-Up's discussion 'Spoilers for horror movies' in the group The Spoiler Zone"Well, I think what would help, if someone puts up the title to the film first, and then someone would what film they are fixing to spoil, otherwise since I don't want a spoiler for a film I have not seen, I would avoid the thread like the…"
