Another thing that bugs me about some Amazon reviewers that wasn't mentioned here are the people who give one stars because: 1) they think Amazon sucks, 2) the publisher's set price is too high, 3) the PO delivered it late, 4) the cover was damaged. And several other idiot reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the book. I don't have any books on Amazon, but as a purchaser I find it very annoying.
If you have Comcast, IFC is showing episodes 4, 5 and 6 of the first season On Demand. I'll have to check it out when I get home from work.
Valley of the Dolls? I think the targeted viewers will go more for Anger Management, where they can watch for Charlie Sheen's implosion.
Well that explains why Hollywood keeps turning out so many stinko movies. They must have looked good on paper too. What a shame so many of them never seem to learn from that -- either with movies or systems of government.
George (or Kyle or anyone), do you know how that Amazon "readers who bought this also bought" list works? How does Amazon decide which books to offer to people who buy a certain type of book? I'd thought maybe they favor books put out by publishers, so how does an independently published ebook get on some of those?
I'm not an author, but I'm helping a friend with his ebook. From what you (and others) have written here, I think I need to be a lot more aggressive getting review copies out. I've sent a few out but reviews are slow coming. Do you find a lot of people who get copies don't review?
Hollywood puts itself in a Catch-22 situation with hiring minority actors. If a minority actor plays any kind of villain role, the anti-defamation societies go crazy and liberals yell racism. They ignore the fact that movies, TV shows, etc., generally have, if not villains, at least a combination of good/bad, nice/unpleasant characters to get the conflict and action that makes for an interesting story. Since they hesitate to hire minorities to fill these roles, they limit the amount of minorities they can hire.
I'm happy with my Kindle, but if you want to save money (towards buying Red Menace #2:Drowning in Red Ink next Valentine's day), Amazon has a free Kindle app for your computer. You can try it out there first and transfer it to your Kindle should you buy one. And you may want to wait a few weeks. A cheaper $79 model is coming out shortly.
A lot of them are college kids, so their reading comprehension level might be too low for this. They're still working on The Cat in the Hat.
Speaking of links, Mr. Nolte, is it possible to get the links to open in another tab? I hate being taken away from Big Hollywood every time I click on one.
