We Are Movie Geeks..a bunch of posers?

I got an email from a guy that was responding to an ad I placed looking for a couple of new bloggers on the site. The response was overwhelming and we got about 100 replies. As you can imagine it was difficult to respond to every inquiry and his got lost in the shuffle.
I got an email from him yesterday in which he decided to tell me to “F(%$ you and your stupid movie geek blog. Betcha shut down in three months anyway.” – Professional huh?
So I responded to him apologizing for not getting back to him..and 5-6 emails later he called us “Posers” because we dont live in LA. Apparently he is under the impression that in order to be a true movie writer/blogger you must live in LA because that is the only place that movies are made..not in “Bumfuck” Missouri. I wasnt aware that Saint Louis was considered “Bumfuck”. Strange.
He went on to say “You’re not even reviewing any real films, just stupid pop shot like Rob Schneider, kiddie flicks, b-movie shlock, etc. etc…”..I responded with movies are are currently writing reviews for and his response “Hulk? Gimme a fucking break. Piece of shit first time around, twice a piece of shit second time.”
I think he might be right..I think we are Posers. Movies arent made in “Bumfuck” Missouri..oh wait, Matt Damon is currently shooting a movie here..and didnt they shoot ‘Meet Bill’ here as well? Almost certain the John Goodman, and Kevin Kline both call St Louis their home as well. So as you can see, St Louis isnt exactly “Bumfuck”.
I could expose this moron but I wont..


Poser..MY A**! It’s just a bunch of wahhhh wahhhh because he jealous he’s not on it. I have the luxury of being lucky enough to post on this very cool site (Thank you Scott!) and have my own gig on the radio..MY103.3…every friday in the 8 o’clock hour(shameless plug). I am also a member of the Critic association here in “backwoods” St. Louis..and we are seen as ligit critics with fresh opinions and one of the best sites for movies on the net. This comes from other nationally known criics and some people from the major studios in …you guessed it…LA! Poser…if anyone Mr. Jealous is the poser!
Ram Man has spoken!
The Ram Man HAS spoken!
If the only people who watched movies were in LA the industry would be in a helluva fix.
damn, I guess our in-person coverage of the LA Film Fest this month is gonna hurt our street cred too. :(
absolutely! As soon as we walk in to represent wearemoviegeeks.com they will all just laugh and call us POSERS!
Thats why all the Ad Agency want us to get their tickets (Hancock, Wanted, etc.) out to the community. We are so just “Posers” My Ass!
