Can readers out there give us their opinion on this?

I have this bright idea to start a conference to discuss among the three of us on a particular movie each month to let readers know what we think of each particular movie which all 3 of us need to watch, but in order to make that work, we do need readers' feedback whether this is workable or not. So please give us comments, cos I cant even convince my 2 fellow reviewers here. Below is what we've discussed.

liliadandelion has joined the conference.
liliadandelion: hola
SP CHU: This is the only time I see both of u online
SP CHU: he's not here yet....
SP CHU: Let's start by asking anti what he like best about transformers
SP CHU: I meant what she likes best
liliadandelion: do we really need to have this...?
SP CHU: I shall do the editing
SP CHU: I shall see how it goes
SP CHU: inconvenient? or not in the mood?
liliadandelion: both actually.
SP CHU: just do it when u have the time/ in the mood
SP CHU: I shall leave this conference open
SP CHU: u can also pretend a friend asking u what u like so much abt transformers
liliadandelion: pretend?
SP CHU: what my intention is to have us chat abt the same movie
SP CHU: what we like and dislike abt it
SP CHU: And readers in honchos see the interaction between 3 of us
SP CHU: cos movie reviews can sometimes get boring, especially mine
sorcerer_low has joined the conference.
SP CHU: Is Low able to read what I typed before he joins the conference?
sorcerer_low: no

sorcerer_low: can't comments already serve that function ?
SP CHU: how many times we post at the comments?
sorcerer_low: as much as you want
SP CHU: but that's the problem we dont do it enough
SP CHU: here we just chat like normal
sorcerer_low: then how are you going to make this work ?
SP CHU: abt the same movie
SP CHU: We basically talk abt transformers
SP CHU: what we like abt it and what we hated abt it
sorcerer_low: yeah i know but technically how are you going to achieve that ?
sorcerer_low: say like this
sorcerer_low: u start a blog post then u let us finish it
sorcerer_low: if one of us daddles and holds it .. it's going to end up the same as the comments thing and worse it won't published
SP CHU: copy and paste what we chatted and then post it on the blog
SP CHU: that's where editing comes in
SP CHU: Things like we say Megan Fox is hot...
sorcerer_low: chats won't work
SP CHU: give it a try
SP CHU: if it doesnt we abandon it
sorcerer_low: i tried it before
sorcerer_low: what happens is ... you don get a good summary of what a person things
SP CHU: thinks?
sorcerer_low: because what he / she thinks is scattered over a few lines
sorcerer_low: thinks == how they felt about the movie
SP CHU: ok let's start by asking u why u give such low rating for transformers
SP CHU: also let our readers be the judge whether this work or not
sorcerer_low: if you want to do this
sorcerer_low: why don u just create a summarizing post for all three opinion blogs ?
SP CHU: There's no interaction bet. the 3 of us that way
SP CHU: this way we argue till kingdom comes
liliadandelion: tho the idea kinda ok, but i dont see any practicality in it. i agree with low that this has already been achieved by having comments
SP CHU: i think what we've discussed here already made an interesting read in itself
SP CHU: even before we discussed anything abt transformers
liliadandelion: prolly u could use this then
SP CHU: can i post this in the blog? and let our readers have their say too?
sorcerer_low: yes. exactly my sentiment
sorcerer_low: we'll do this ... if this blog post attracts > 3 new comments then we'll prolly do what u say
sorcerer_low: if not we can it
liliadandelion: agreed.



If you like what my idea is about, readers need to greenlit it by commenting on it...If your comment is as negative like my fellow reviewers, we would also can the idea.... Hope to hear from readers...

haha! i like this :p

i think it's a good change from all the other mono-reviews ;)

spchu said...

Angel, I need 2 more favourable comments like yours before this project can get off the ground...or maybe I should recruit you and start another blog ;)

lowkster said...

Just as a reminder, now all recommended comments from angel is null and void because spchu you solicited comments from her.

spchu said...

excuse me, I dont even know who angel is to begin with....so how do I do that whatever soliciting u accusing me of...

Angel, can u tell low I dont know u and vice versa?

rainbow angeles said...

huh?? lowks, what u mean "solicited comments"?? do i know spchu?? I don't know any of u also...

O.o

lowkster said...

Angel : probably a wrong way to put it sorry. We just wanted the results to be objective and without bias. That's why your original comment is counted but when spchu started to say "need 2 more favourable" we were afraid it might skew the opinions polls ... no offence meant.

rainbow angeles said...

brooke, did u like the arguing in the comments' area or the entry? :D

lowks, hey, chill la dude... why so serious wor? blogging shud be fun... no harm trying a new way ma... no? summore u all not paid to do this also.. so, anything goes! betul tak??

spchu said...

Angel,

I am interested in the Simpson movie too...Too bad it's not showing in Kuantan (where I am from) Wonder if I should go KL just to watch it.....)

Have been a fan of the series for a very long time. Will always tune in whenever I saw it on TV.

i liked the arguing in the entry! good movie discussion is fun to read. Sometimes on the Entertainment weekly site the post a back and forth between owen gleiberman and lisa schwartzbaum. Also remember the siskel and ebert show...they always argued!
