Hi there folks! I just had the experience to be sent hate mail over my first dvd review. Apparently, someone out there likes a title I savaged earlier today.
I can't think why anyone would feel so strongly about it-especially given the lousy quality of the release. Whoever did it was smart enough to use some fake email device yet couldn't spell at a fourth grade level.
Boy, this job may be even funner than Steph told me it would be.
BTW, the title was "Nineteen College Girls Video Magazine 25".

Anyone who has such a strong opinion about a movie should just write their own review. Everyone has that opportunity to voice their thoughts.

I'm always open and want to hear what people think about my reviews. People have the right to say what they want, just like I have the right to write reviews.

You've got all the luck. I'm still waiting for my first review hate e-mail.

Just do what I do! Make your reviews so long-winded that they don't have any energy to complain when they're done reading it!
I haven't gotten any hatemail on my reviews, either. I guess I just haven't pissed enough people off.
Sorry to hear about your luck, dude. Still, I guess you must be doing something right to tick somebody off like that. I liked your reviews.

i thought for sure someone from Anabolic would have emailed me over my review of Penetration #1.
But.. oh wells no hate mail yet. =)
But can't say that about my other posts in the forum.

You have to figure if people care enough about a review to hate it, it must be good :-)
Some day, I'll have to make a book from all the hate mail I've gotten from porn fans, porn stars, porn directors and porn PR folks.
Also, read the 'hate' stuff carefully. As someone once told me, "take praise with your heart and criticism with your head."
Who knows, some of your harshest critics may one day be the people you learn the most from.

Drew: Gee thanks for reminding me. Other than this one, Deep Throat, Tai Blow Job and a few others, people comments have almost always been favorable, neutral, or simply requests for information. I suppose getting someone grumpy once every 50 reviews is a pretty good percentage.

That said, those who hope for my early retirement from reviewing should take note that I bought about 20 dvd's today solely for review. I'm bound to find a few that suck or have someone displaying an off day. <G>

Rog: maybe you can add a few of mine as footnotes to your book.

Torris: As much as I agree with you (about 40% of the time), I've noticed your personal ability to irritate people on the RAME newsgroup. Not as often as Patrick Riley, but close.

Dark, Dev, and Steph: I like to think I'm a better reviewer now than I was a few hundred dvd's ago. Reviewing is a learning process and I am far more familiar with many of the performers than I was back when I posted this thread. I like to think I have a better perspective too. Some of it I figured out on my own and some of it was Astro kicking my behind when I needed it (as well as a few others).
Thanks for the support.

I actually got my first review hate e-mail the other week. It was kind of humorous since the person who e-mailed me filled the email with the same thing he complained about me doing (right down to the e-mail address). Normally the people who e-mail me are great. Sometimes they have questions about the titles, often they're trying to make a decision between a couple titles, and sometimes they just e-mail me to tell me to keep up the good work. I just take the bad with the good. It lets you know you're still alive.

I never get hate mail Maybe it's because my reviews are so nice....er...then again maybe it's because I don't post my email.

...OK, I finally set up and ADT email so that I can get hate mail

Why do I get the feeling that Houston is in no danger of getting too many invitations to Christmas parties this year? I hope you keep calling them like you see them and don't bow to pressure. It's good to know that this site is supportive of you too. Have people complained to the site as well?

Endo: If it'll make you feel better, I'll pretend that you are a lousy reviewer and send you some hate mail.

Chicken: I'm still calling them like I see them and Steph is still letting me do so. One of the reasons I'm so loyal to her and Drew is that even though I know they take some heat at times (and it can't be easy given the small community that is porn), they have been supportive. I've tried hard to be constructive in my reviews and if I ever go too far, I'm sure one of you will tell me.

PS: I'm too busy to attend parties.
