@MAFIA36790 Just a thought. He uses girl's avatar. I was confused when I was new here.

@MAFIA36790 He is HIV + or he have AIDS? Both are different things........ Anywya there are ways of protection from HIV even when u have sex with HIV+ guy/girl

I don't hate the DCEU - I just think it's bad.

Ankit Sharma

@MAFIA36790 I know but I ignored them all as a non violent movement against not getting one here.

Rand al'Thor

@MAFIA36790 I know, but it's still worthy of a (futile) upvote. M&TV seems like the kind of site which could really benefit from a blog.

Ankit Sharma

Ankit Sharma

Dizzel can write too, he is good in writing but his opinion are way personal and straight that will not fulfill generic nature of site blogs

user116211

Site blogs should be diplomatic and neutral

Maybe @ChristianRau can write stuff

@AJ hmmmm, sounds fun ;)

@MAFIA36790 Christian can be too.

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma No.

> Write in the first-person. We want your personal take here.

user116211

Then Dizzle is the first choice.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor I mean if we allow dizzel to write a blog explaining every other non MCU film is shit , is it not wrong as a general opinion ?

Site blog should represent site opinion not individual

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Blog posts aren't meant to reflect community consensus. They're written by a single person, and they reflect that person's opinion.

@AnkitSharma No.

You must be getting mixed up with meta ;-)

user116211

But it's a site blog :(

Rand al'Thor

11:51

With posts written by individuals.

user116211

ooh.

Rand al'Thor

If Dizzle writes an article expressing an opinion you disagree with, go out and write your own article expressing the opposite opinion!

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma Aren't all opinions personal?

Rand al'Thor

That'll make the blog even more exciting.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle That's why I feel site blog should be site's though not individual

user116211

Worldbuilding, I'm seeing, is currently getting many commies related question.

@DrRDizzle Your opinions are more like kardashians, they shout for attention :p

@AnkitSharma Expressing opinions is exactly what a blog is supposed to be for.

Ankit Sharma

SFF had many non review blogs

@Randal'Thor then u missed the whole point, I said to pick other type of blogs over review blogs but you interpreted it into something else

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma The SFF blog has had 25 different authors - it's not just "what Jack do[es]". Unless you mean what he does in the sense of moderating the blog rather than writing for it.

@Randal'Thor obviously I mean moderating as I never read any of his blog but only read KutuluMikes

Rand al'Thor

Yeah, everyone (from Shog9 and down) reckons he's done a great job as blog admin.

I hope he'll continue in that role if/when the blog moves to a new platform.

@AJ Because every effin' horror film kills people one by one, let alone every second thriller.

@DrRDizzle Doesn't make some of the statement much better really.

@AnkitSharma The problem is that the internet isn't really lacking in blogs that review films at all.

I think reviews are nicely fit for a blog, but they shouldn't be the majority. SciFi has a nice mixture of things. But a pure review blog is just, well, boring and doesn't really add anything to the site or the internet.

user116211

@AnkitSharma WTH ;/

Christian Rau

@DrRDizzle Well, let me express it differently then. A review blog is a nice thing. But a blog for a site that concerns itself with movies and TV at large should aspire to be more than yet another of the 500 million movie review blogs on the internet.

Dr R Dizzle

@ChristianRau Like what else though?

Christian Rau

@DrRDizzle Well, all the crap SciFi does, conventions and film fests, analysis of content, site/community-related meta crap...

As said, the internet doesn't run short of movie reviews at all.

And I also agree that if it contains reviews as frequent entries, they should definitely come from more than just one person, since otherwise it would indeed be too one-sided. It's the site's blog, occasional reviews are fine, but it's not one single user's soapbox.

And that's why all this discussion is largely academic for now, since this community simply doesn't seem to be coherent enough to gather the variety in topics and contributors to make a blog really worthwhile yet.
