There are some submitted reader reviews on the message board as well. Like Flangerpart said, I'm sure Andrew will do more reviews when he gets the time...

I submit a review every two months or so - currently I have reviews of
THE STONE KILLER and NUKIE in the works - and I don't think I've managed to bore anyone yet.  :smile:

Andrew is a busy man.  He'll get out a review when he has the time.  'Til then, enjoy the forum!

It can be tough to be patient but trust us, Andrew is a busy guy.  We get lean stretches here and there.  Post your own review to the "Reader Reviews"/reader review area section and Andrew may get around to it one of these days.  I've had a couple of mine submitted on the Reader Reviews main page, so he does eventually get around to it.

The new reviews are only visable to premium members.  In order to qualify you have to send Andrew an e-mail that includes a copy of your ID proving you are over 18, fifteen dollars (payable as by credit card, paypal, or gift certificates to the Sizzler), a picture of you in a Zebra costume, and a written statement saying you have watched at least one entire Ed Wood movie to completion, Robot Monster, or Monster a Go-Go. 

Then you can see the new reviews.  They're really swell.

Close, but the fee is $30, and you can pay a mod (cough, cough).

Does the $30 get waived if I've watched an Ed Wood movie to completion, ROBOT MONSTER AND MONSTER A GO-GO?  Not only watched, but made my children watch as well (okay, THEY have not seen an Ed Wood yet, but the other two, and ASTRO ZOMBIES for good measure...).

I agree with everything that Flangepart has to say. While I'd like to see Andrew post some more reviews, till then, there is nothing stopping any of us from posting our own reviews at this website. So, if anyone wants to see some new reviews, I'd say post them yourself.

Hey, so long as Andrew wasn't cacked in Iraq, Syria or wherever. 

I would like to know if the lack of reviews is due to him being deployed and if everything's OK with him and his family.  We bad movie lovers need to stick together.  So many of us are dying off, usually from brain hemorrhage after watching Hobgoblins or Red Zone Cuba. :smile:

He stopped in last week, and has a couple reviews in the pipeline.  He's a busy man.

Post by: Andrew on September 22, 2014, 06:02:12 PM
Let me chime in.  I have known this thread was here, but usually don't respond to threads that might be bait or alarmist about the site being over.  I'm always lurking here, because there are still a number of administrative tasks I regularly complete on the site, both forum and server side.  The good Rev does beat me to the punch on banning spammers quite often, but I manage to take care of some.

It has been nearly 2 years since I last posted a new review.  Mostly this has been due to family.  My mother has dementia, wouldn't leave her house, forgot to eat, suspicious of everyone and so on.  We recently finished a year's struggle to move her into an assisted living home and her weight has gone from 80lbs to 95lbs.  Sometimes she remembers who I am.

We also have the three children and they have a lot of extracurricular activities.  I coach 2 soccer teams, helped coach an Odyssey of the Mind team, am a cub scout den leader, and had a load of additional billets at the unit.  My work week has been 60-70 hours, and I live over an hour from the unit.  With the kids' activities and my work, free time has been scarce.

When it has come down to spending 8 hours on a review or doing something else - I've been doing the something else.  If it's for me, it's often been mountain biking.  If it's for the kids then it has been teaching them mountain biking (all three  love to ride singletrack), kid's running club, teaching them to build model rockets, family get-togethers, and the like.

I'm retiring from the Marine Corps shortly, and I cannot imagine any civilian employment I take not resulting in a substantial drop in the hours I spend working.

So, I'm still here, and would love to post some new reviews.  Hopefully that will happen soon.

No worries, Andrew - family is family, and this is, after all, just a website.  Take care of what you need to take care of, and when you have time to do some new reviews, we'll enjoy them.

I'll second that except for "and this is, after all, just a website". This is an accomplishment and a community, and I'm sure this community agrees with your choices Andrew.

You are right there - this is my favorite online home!
But, for Andrew, there are other, greater priorities right now.
We can muddle along just fine without him while he takes care of his family.

To be honest I'd say I value the forums more than the reviews. Sorry, Andrew, I am not saying you're reviews are bad but every time I come on its for the forums.

Post by: Javakoala on September 22, 2014, 09:22:54 PM
I agree. It's the forum and the dwellers within that make this place my favorite virtual home.

And not to be a snot, but referencing Andrew getting "cacked" was, at the very least, in bad taste. I work for the VA, and, my political views aside, I love our soldiers and veterans (even the nasty cranky ones who chew my butt out). They have done, and are doing, work that I know I couldn't do, and they are doing it out of respect for their country or family or heritage or any combination of those. They sure as hell aren't doing for the paychecks.

Save your "cacked" comments for your buddies on GTA IV. Please.

Well put, Java. That like irked me too.

Andrew, I feel for you regards your mom. It's a hard thing to deal with, and I hope having her in a safe place helps you all.
The Corp will be losing a fine guy, but they owe you for it,as do we all.
Take care of the family, and stay cool.

I love that Trevor smote that guy and put the reason as simply: "cacked"

I don't like it when idiots from outside like shadeclan take my family on here - if the word 'cacked' means in English what the word 'kak' means in Afrikaans, then that was way out of line.  Play the ball, not the person.

Ah. It's slang for s**t. Lovely.

No, Kak in Afrikaans isn't related to the term cacked.

Cacked is a slang word that means "completely f**ked up." In gaming it usually refers to someone being killed with overwhelming force.

Although oddly enough Kak is also a British slang for s**t. South Africa used to be a British colony so it's possible for Kak to have come from either and use spread to the other.

When it has come down to spending 8 hours on a review or doing something else - I've been doing the something else.

This is no joke! I have submitted one review to the reader reviews forum so far, and that review took me roughly 2 8-hour days to complete. That includes actually sitting down and watching the movie, watching it in segments to write the review itself, watching the movie again to make sure that I got everything right (and I still didn't, even though the review is "done") and then proofreading the review to make sure that everything sounds right. It probably would have helped if I hadn't picked a 3 hour B-movie to review, but Blood In Blood Out (1993) is still one of my all-time favorite B-movies so it became a passion.  :cheers:

Needless to say, real life does tend to get in the way of stuff that we would love to do for fun and get paid for it. So kudos to Andrew for finding the time to keep this site up and running while still taking care of stuff that truly matters in life.  :cheers:
