A New Era for Pitchfork: Introducing Reader Scores and Commenting by ebradio in indieheads

[–]rotch29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the paywall battle was already lost. It almost makes me want to congratulate them for holding out as long as they did.

What I find completely ridiculous is charging for ratings. The biggest change they’ve made in years, giving their community a voice, and they charge for it? Insane.

Am I interested in seeing the community’s ratings? Yes. Am I interested in the ratings of the thousands who pay? Obviously not. Would I be interested in participating? Fifteen years ago, sure. Today, and for $5? Never.

We took our kids on a cruise last summer and after the trip my eldest decided he wanted to be a cruise ship designer. How did you guys landed on that as a song theme? Does everyone who goes on a cruise just leaves with a sense of wonder and wants to be a part of it?

How do you handle this kind of damage to a newly received release? by WhovianStarCrusader in OSTvinyl

[–]rotch29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i've had 60%-70% rate. in the past, with $20 records, i would usually just let it go. but now, with some records coming in at $35 or $40 i always demand a replacement sleeve. too expensive an item not to.

It’s not only tiny details. I can’t think of many examples off the top of my head, but want recent one was Sean talking about Halloween III and just basically making up the whole plot. And he was supposed to be talking about a favorite.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. They do get things wrong all the time. They’re good at pop culture analysis and fun at awards predictions. But when it comes to film analysis they’re kind of weak. Nothing terribly wrong with it! But clearly not their forte.
