Typical... the first feedback I got about this blog was negative, from a friend who said, "Mike, you don't write much about the films". Let me repeat what I said to her:
This isn't meant to be a film review site. If you want to get details about the latest releases my blog isn't the place for you. My reviews aren't in-depth, and they will rarely be about new films. This blog is my diary, letting you know what films I've been watching and whether I like them. More than anything I want people to argue with me, which is what I said in my introduction. As for not writing much, anyone who knows the previous incarnation of my film diary knows that I only used to write a single sentence about each film due to the space constraints (510 characters for the whole "blog"). So I think I'm writing a lot now.
Concerning the matter of the Amazon ads: I'm not in this for the money. My main intention in adding a clickable box to each review is to give you a link for further information. Some of the films at Amazon have very lengthy customer reviews, in case my mini-review has made you curious. And yes, if you do buy a DVD after clicking on a link I'll earn a few pennies, but I won't cry if nobody does. I don't consider that I am spamming my readers. Check other blogs and you'll see the difference. Loads of banners and frequent begging for you to click on them.
