Otherwise, here are the basics: What I do is list a site; you critique it. But here’s the catch: to induce the most honest reactions, don’t leave the comment using your normal alias/login – instead, go anonymous (for now you probably need to comment through bogus information and I’ll moderate all comments...

    THE MOTM FOR DECEMBER 2013 WILL BE…

    Timing is everything!  At least as it pertains to the selection of the Movie of the Month, it is.  Justin of Man, I Love Films has attempted to wedge his love for Cocktail and/or Tom Cruise into several MOTM polls, and by waiting until the clamor to champion films died down, he nearly got his pick in without even needing a poll.  As it was, Dan of Public Transportation Snob snuck in at the last second with an equally cheesy...

    White Men Can’t Jump,...
