Reader Call to Action: Tell Us How You Feel About FSR

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 6, 2008

Film School Rejects Editors Blogs

Normally I use the Editor’s Blog column to wax poetic (or not so poetic in most cases) about what is going through my mind every single week — the politics of online movie journalism, my love for “Battlestar Galactica” and whatever else has been keeping me from writing other, more interesting articles about the world of film. But as we reach the midpoint of 2008, I think it is time to take a look back at some of the changes we’ve made here at Film School Rejects and gather some opinions from you, the readers, as to where we still need to go.

On January 1, we launched our new design, which seems to have been received well — at least, as far as I know. Since then, we have continued to make changes in the way we deliver content in order to keep things interesting and attempt to set ourselves apart from other movie websites. We’ve added some great columns, brought some great new talent onto our team and continued to deliver more interesting news stories. At least, this is theoretical world in which we live — a fact that has led me to this article. The truth is that in order for us to grow as much in the next 6 months as we did in the previous 6, we are going to need some feedback from all of you.

That said, I have some questions for our faithful readers. Please feel free to drop your answers, as well as any other suggestions, comments or feedback that you may have in the Sound Off section below:

1. What is the one thing about Film School Rejects that keeps you coming back for more?

2. If you could change one thing about Film School Rejects, what would it be?

3. What would you like to see more of from FSR? Less of?

Thank you in advance for all your feedback. As always, please don’t ever hesitate to drop us a line if you have have something to say. Just send an email over to editors@filmschoolrejects.com.

And just as a heads up, keep an eye out for a few kick-ass features that we will be unleashing in the month of July:

On July 13th we will begin our Official Guide to Batman in preparation for the release of The Dark Knight. This will include a look back at the origins of Batman in comics, film and pop culture as well as an exclusive preview of The Dark Knight.

Later this week we will be launching our official Live at Comic-Con 2008 homepage, which will serve as the official spot for our extensive coverage of Comic-Con International, which will take place from July 23 to July 27 in San Diego.

    "If you could change one thing about Film School Rejects, what would it be?"

    The black background! Sorry guys but thats the reason i read every fsr post in my favorite rss reader.
  • 1. What is the one thing about Film School Rejects that keeps you coming back for more?

    The fact that it's a movie website run by people who...like movies. :)

    3. What would you like to see more of from FSR? Less of?

    More "DVDs I Bought This Week". Love those articles.
  • "1. What is the one thing about Film School Rejects that keeps you coming back for more?"
    - Everything, I guess... the articles, the reviews, and the - sometimes hilarious - quality of them.
    "2. If you could change one thing about Film School Rejects, what would it be?"
    - Nothing really.
    "3. What would you like to see more of from FSR? Less of?"
    - Reviews and articles in general. In the case of your pieces of writing, more will always be better.
  • 1. I love the writing, some great (and sometimes wacky) features which at times may stray from my personal opinion but definitely keep me entertained reading and sometimes even make me think of something slightly differently

    2. Hmmmm... I'm not a big fan of the theme (but I can deal with it), or the drinking game article

    3. Hahaha, my reviews... not sure how Neil will like that one.

    1. What is the one thing about Film School Rejects that keeps you coming back for more?
    - The articles are written by people with different points of view so you don't just get one opinion. The amount of content per day is awesome. That's why this site is practically my homepage at work. Breaks up the monotony of the day and it's reading about something I love by people who love the same thing.

    2. If you could change one thing about Film School Rejects, what would it be?
    - Honestly, I have no real issues with the way the site is set up, very user friendly. Also, I cannot think of anything wrong with the content of the site. So my answer would be nothing is wrong with the site. (in responce to Mike above, I love the black background, really hope it doesn't change IMO)

    3. What would you like to see more of from FSR? Less of?
    - I really like the weekly articles like the Reject Report, DVD's I Bought This Week and The Coroner's Report so I hope those keep going, and maybe add a few more weekly articles like those. Not too big a fan of the Movie Drinking Games articles, I just seem to skip over those, but that may just be me.
  • 1. What is the one thing about Film School Rejects that keeps you coming back for more? LOVE THE HUMOR BEHIND NEILS AND THE REST OF THE REJECTS VIEWS BEHIND THEIR MOVIE NEWS. AND THE FACT THAT HE GOT TO SEE THE DARK KNIGHT ALREADY !!! NEIL AND THE REST OF THE CREW ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND MAKE THIS SITE WORTH VIEWING EVERY DAY!!!

    2. If you could change one thing about Film School Rejects, what would it be?THAT MY MOVIE NEWS WEBSITE WAS AS GOOD AS THIS ONE

    3. What would you like to see more of from FSR? Less of? LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THEIR TRADEMARK WIT (NOT HUMOR) . THESE ARE SOME FUNNY FOLKS THAT ARE ACTUALLY INTELLIGENT THAT WORK HERE AT FILM SCHOOL REJECTS AND GOT THEIR STUFF DOWN TO A SCIENCE...FANTASTIC SITE GUYS!!! YOUR SITE IS WHAT MOVIE NEWS SITES SHOULD ASPIRE TO AS I DO MINE.
  • supremejred
    I actually just started coming here. I found the site through another site.

    1. What is the one thing about Film School Rejects that keeps you coming back for more?
    I love movies so the content suites my needs. I like the site because it's a fan's site. No
    one here is a professional critic( i don' think).

    2. If you could change one thing about Film School Rejects, what would it be?
    The logo is pretty god awful. I understand the concept but it's poorly done.

    3. What would you like to see more of from FSR? Less of?
    More contests and ummmmm....less of nothing

    1. What is the one thing about Film School Rejects that keeps you coming back for more?
    The passion you guys have for movies, the witty writing.

    2. If you could change one thing about Film School Rejects, what would it be?
    The 'Who's that Hottie' feature is alienating for chicks who read this site. Either get rid of it or (better) include hot guys as well!

    3. What would you like to see more of from FSR? Less of?
    More of the interesting features that you don't get anywhere else (eg Old Ass Movies). Nice work!
  • I feel warm and fuzzy with a hint of shame.
