Get to Know Us

I've posted quite a bit in the week since I've started this blog (at least it seems like a lot to me).  To make it easier for potential readers to skim past the fat and find the posts that they actually want, I'm doing a quick round-up of the posts that help you get to know us.

About Us

This was a quick little post about who I am, as well as a brief overview of what Turbadiesel Movies is about.    I tried to quickly explain my vision for Turbadiesel as editor-in-chief, and why I feel like it applies.

3 Things That Turbadiesel Movies Should Accomplish Series

In these posts, I explained the three things that are most important to me in starting this site.  These are our high-level goals as a group, and what we hope will be the reason that people choose us over other reviewers.

Part 1

Goal number one is "A place where the nerds among us can gather in judgement-free peace and share opinions."  It angers me how poorly people tend to argue.  I don't believe that people are unable to make strong arguments - although many can't.  No, I believe that the root is in people's counter arguments.  One enlightened person will try to make a genuine argument, and is then mobbed by weaker minded individuals who earnestly believe that the purpose of argument is to make somebody else look stupid, not to gain knowledge.

Part 2
Goal number two is "Efficient way to access information quickly."  I'm a student with a job and (sometimes) a social life.  I'm always busy, and sometimes I just don't have time to do things.  Reading movie reviews is a pretty low priority of mine, but I still want to know whether or not I'll enjoy a movie before spending money on it (I'm a college student, remember?).  This goal is all about our quick movie factor ratings.

Part 3
Goal number three is "Multiple professional opinions in one location."  I never read just one review for a movie I want to see.  If I read one from a person who hated it, I go look for another reviewer who liked it and vice versa.  Not that we want readers to only look at our reviews, but this should make that process easier on them.
