It’s Blusterin’ Time!
And remember: Blustering should be a two-way street; if you’ve asked to be blustered, you better be a blusterer.
If you’re new to this feature or need a refresher, click the label at the bottom of this post and see the first few posts. Otherwise, here’s the basics:
What I’ll do is list a site; you’re asked to 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, and be as brutally honest (or complimentary) as you wish to be. Also, be specific, and naturally, don’t be rude. If I deem anything inappropriate, I’ll have no problem deleting the comment.
So, go to the site listed below, familiarize yourself with it for a few minutes, then come back and leave some constructive criticism and/or comments that you have.

If you’re up for this treatment for your site (and you’re a LAMB), send me an email with the subject “Bluster Me!” If you’ve already done so, no need to do it again - you’re on the list, and these will be going up in order of when I received your email (by the way, it could take a while for your site to be Blustered, since I don’t run this more than once a week or so).

Rating: PG-13 – mostly family friendly but the occasional curse word thrown in for emphasis
What is the main focus of your site?
At G-S-T, we (myself and my two friends/contributing editors) want to get our thoughts and opinions of our passion for movies out to fellow cinema fans. We hope to reach other like-minded and opinionated “film freaks” out there and maybe post some things/movie info that others may not have known about.
What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog?
The blogging efforts of G-S-T are simply hobby based, yet there’s an underlying passion that exists which, if the possibility exists or presents itself (like all bloggers feel, I’m sure), we’d love to do this professionally. Our main focus is just to have fun writing about films we love, why we love them and what new films we can look forward to. Again it’s a hobby - we do it because we love movies!
Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers are the students?
We’re definitely going for a community feeling here. We don’t claim to be critics or have insider film info, but we have our own opinions about what woks for us and what doesn’t. We’re very interested in meeting and conversing with others who might share our opinions.
How long have you been movie blogging for, and how frequent do you post updates to your site?
Starting in February of this year, G-S-T has been live for 8 months. We try to post at least one solid update daily, taking the weekends off to catch up on movies for next weeks’ discussions/reviews.
Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more).
Shaun of the Dead, Lost in Translation, Gladiator.
How did you hear about the LAMB?
From other friends/fellow bloggers who are already LAMB members.
Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above.
None.
