Talk to us, baby!
We'd love to hear about your pain and your beauty, your difficult moods, and your upsetting opinions! Send your scintillating
comments and queries to: Contact us at the above email address for information on sending review copies of DVDs and videos. We do not want to build an archive of unwatched and unreviewed films, so it's best if you query us first to see if your film has a reasonable likelihood of being reviewed. We do not review short films at this time. Note! We do not return video or DVD submissions. If you feel you have to have it back, please don't send it. See our writer's guidelines and our list of banned words. To be automatically notified when the next issue is posted, join our mailing list. A note to students We have a complaint about some of you. (We know you thought we were too nice to complain.) We thrive on e-mail, but please stop sending us those coy requests for "information" that are veiled sometimes not even attempts to get us to do your quizzes and papers and, in one case we kid you not, a dissertation! These conniving queries arrive in waves, from every corner of the globe, and some of you even have the temerity to demand we answer you ASAP! We dont know or care about "the symbolism of the elevator in American cinema" or "How many people does Mother kill in Psycho?" And if we did we wouldnt tell you! We dont have time to be your stand-ins! Were too busy thinking of ways to squander the millions that roll in daily from Bright Lights. So please, students, do your own damn homework and let us get back to our Doris Wishman marathon. Tonights double-feature: Satan Was a Lady and Nude on the Moon!
