I wouldn't be so irritated with a rejection for writing for an entertainment news site if one of the reasons for the rejection wasn't for my grammar and punctuation, which were both fine. On the other hand, the rejection email I received was riddled with grammar and punctuation mistakes.

DO IT. Print it out, correct it, and send it to their boss!
- Andy
I may have to do just that. I've been looking at the email off and on all day, trying to decide whether or not to do it.
- Jed Harris-Keith
I replied. I was much more polite than I should have been, and I didn't poke at the guy for his grammar. I *did* point out things he had overlooked and for which he had taken me to task, though. He said I didn't mention things that I clearly had. I copied and pasted them in my reply, just to be helpful. :)

Considered starting your own site?

That's a good idea. I could do a blog or a Tumblr, but I don't know if I have the technical expertise to do a full-fledged site.

A fully fledged site could come later when you have momentum. Plenty of sites started as blogs.

zampa on Anyone heard of a site where you rate your favorite movies and it tells you which movie critic you match up with best? Would be great to find that one critic and just follow his ratings when picking movies. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"We don't have it implemented yet, but in the future we plan for [Flickchart](http://www.flickchart.com) to have groups of verified users related to the movie industry, so you could see movie rankings based on the choices of film critics, film historians, actors, directors, producers, etc. You'd then be able to compare against entire groups of film professionals, or browse individual professionals' profiles to compare against. We could also algorithmically pair you up with your best professional "match" - so you might end up having a kinship with a particular actor or critic. We could even spotlight which actor, director, critic, etc. from those groups that you've got the closest taste to."

They're probably with the YouTube team - which might be removed a bit from Google-proper. I'm not familiar enough with the lay of the land there at Google HQ to know.

Re: 48fps: The Ultimate Battle Of Art vs Tech - http://www.badassdigest.com/2012...
"One can point to the decline of the American video arcades as an example of an entertainment art form being homogenized into gimmick-filled experiences rather than pure game experiences. They've fought the same battles that film is now battling: the home experience outperformed the public experience. Consoles became better, faster, prettier, and more sophisticated than arcades could ever hope to. As a result, they added plastic guns, steering wheels, entire gyroscopic ride mechanisms - all with the hope that you'd patronize their establishments more often. But the public has already decided that playing games at home is an infinitely better experience than playing games in an arcade. The parallels are clear; moviegoers find the Blu-ray, HD presentations in their home theaters more pleasant, less costly, and more personalized. Theaters are at their limits on ticket prices, so they've begun to resort to the gimmicks to make you walk through their doors. 3D. Fake IMAX. And now, 48fps. At..."

Ridley Scott is Considering Alien Prequel/Reboot
SinyorRodrigez, Mark Davidson, Nils Sandin and 22 other people liked this
In other news I have a baseball bat, a lot of time, and a burning desire to talk Ridley out of this.
- Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Aw, come now, Joe. Ridley did Alien, so it's possible he could do a prequel showing the origins of the alien species quite well - given a solid script
- Nathan Chase
I stick to my original thought. Is it possible he'll strike gold? Yes. Is it likely? No.
- Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
after AVATAR, I'd be down for Cameron to go back to Aliens and maybe produce a new film with Scott at the helm - although that would probably be two guys that would NOT get along given their notoriety for being stubborn and tyrannical on sets
- Nathan Chase
The key term being "solid script." There's a good chance that won't exist, and even Ridley can't make gold from a shit script. Why not just drop the franchise altogether and go do something new and original?
- Jonathan Hardesty
Oh right. Easy money.
- Jonathan Hardesty
that, and it's a great property to explore still... it's one of the richest movie monster stories ever told
- Nathan Chase
Scott just isn't the same director he was then. He's not hungry anymore. Jonathan H. is right, this is easy money... but probably none of mine.
- Jim #TeamMonique
Meh. If he does follow through with it, how does it diminish the existing films?
- Derrick
Derrick, it doesn't hurt the existing films to people who have already seen them. If he makes a shit prequel it could hurt the existing films for future fans.
- Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
original ideas are always a riskier business proposition - it's the same in music, video games - any entertainment medium - familiarity always produces a higher chance of positive response - it's just the way humans work
- Nathan Chase
now this is a property probably better left alone: http://www.aintitcool.com/node...
- Nathan Chase
That would be good, if he decides to make this one of the good movies he does now (Kingdom of Heaven, Blackhawk Down) instead of the shitty films he does now (Hannibal, A Good Year.)
- Ciaoenrico
I guess my point with the whole original idea comment is that I would like to see something different. Something ELSE. As an average joe viewer, I don't really care where the alien came from or it's origin story. Also, what's wrong with NOT knowing? Makes the whole thing more mysterious and exciting, right?
- Jonathan Hardesty
All I'm saying is I have a friend who won't watch Episodes IV V and VI because he saw episodes I and II. Plus like Jason said, we have part 3 and Resurrection to show that not every Alien movie is gold, and then there are the two AVP movies. The Xenomorph has worked plenty, maybe a break? Also in the case of a reboot, it should never be done by the original creator.
- Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
whoah
- Marcos Marado
well if everyone thought Alien should have been left alone, then we would never have seen Aliens - which IMHO is the best action/horror/sci-fi film ever made
- Nathan Chase
@Nathan, it is a great film. But the sequels and the spinoffs have really made me tired of the idea altogether. And now we have a Predators remake too? How about we re-release the original films in theaters for limited runs, show new generations how good these films were instead of bastardizing them or cheapening them with prequels?
- Jonathan Hardesty
Jason, it has more to do with the quality of the films than the shock of finding stuff out since he ha no idea that it was supposed to be a surprise.
- Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
That's just silly. I always watch films in chronological order. The fact that your friend won't watch Eps 4, 5, and 6 because of 1, 2, and 3, prove he is a dolt. You can't undo time and that's how 95% of most people saw them. But like I said, Alien came out in 78, 79? If you wanna watch the films, start there, and if he makes a prequel starring the Jonas Brothers, it still doesn't eliminate what came before it.
- Derrick
I'd like to see him give it a go. I *love* Predator (even if it was a B-movie) but following movies haven't been that great.
- Kol Tregaskes
So now that we know this to be Prometheus, have your opinions above changed at all?
- Nathan Chase
I'm withholding judgement until I actually see Prometheus, but if it is as good as it looks I shall apologize to Ridley Scott for the bat crack.
- Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Nathan has asked me to write an endorsement of FlickChart...and I totally should, but I'm not quite sure what to say about this excellent service.
