Who wouldn’t want to be paid for watching their favorite TV show or listening to their favorite music or going to see a movie with their favorite actor? I know that I would raise my hand real quick if that was asked to me.
To many that’s exactly what people think that critics do. And I’m sure that there are a few where that may be exactly what they do. But those that do have had to endure a lot of bad shows, music and movies to a place that their opinions are valued and they can do what they wish.
Critics are paid for their professional opinions. Opinions that are actually based on a course of study. Many TV and Movie critics has gone to film school and have had a lot of study on the craft. The same is true for music, art and any other critic industry.
But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a place for the simple fan. A place where a fan only watches, see or listen to what they enjoy and then gives their opinion.
Yes, it’s an uneducated opinion, but in many ways it’s more critical than a critic’s opinion. It it comes straight form their feelings. An opened minded enjoyment or not of their experience.
Fans can be narrow minded. They like what they like and if they don’t think they will like it, there may be no convincing them to do otherwise.
Why did I start this post this way? In short I will be working here, for little to no payment. It all depends on whether the site can generate any revenue. My job will be in delivering my views on entertainment.
I’m late beginning this. As are all three of us. Well, not Steve since his were always planned to be repost from his 6 Things to Consider.
Life has been busy and I haven’t had a chance to put anything on paper, or actually I guess you could call it on screen. Things are becoming more settled and I’m hoping to be able to place a few things on here about a favorite subject of mine. That is Entertainment.
So in advance – Thanks for reading
