If you look at all the sites at once, the one that really has great information, is provocative, and attracts lots of points of view is Firstshowing.Net. The site is good looking and easy to navigate. Some of the other sites are immature with silly comments. FS seems to be way ahead with movie news.

Slashfilm is a decent site but it's way overrated and the podcasts are not good at all; they sound so immature it's like listening toe Beavis and Butthead. Many of these 'blogs' aren't blogs at all, they're news content sites recycling material from other sources, often with very little opinion or actual blogging. And many of them all carry the same stuff, so it gets tedious. In terms of having exclusive content, interviews, etc, I would say Collider is way ahead of the rest. The level of intelligent writing and articulate expression is very poor on most sites, most times they are all about ego and the writers seem like children and amateurs trying to be something they're not. They think they're hot shit, but ask yourself if they really are.

Voting for /Film, definitely. Even though D Chen DID try to awkwardly hit on my girlfriend when we met in person.

Slashfilm for life. "Warning, spoilers for how awesome David Chen is." Dave Chen is the man. James Cameron interview was great.

Things I like about /Film: two hour contrarian fights that end with Dave pronouncing, "well, at least we can all agree on [insert triviality here]."
All's well that ends well, just like this poll.

Slashfilm 100%. They're fast, have some smart writers, have some good video interviews and even a British column. Yes indeedy.
**God creates Comingsoon.net. God destroys Firstshowing.net. God creates Collider.com. Man destroys Jo Blo Movienetwork. Man creates Slashfilm.com . . . .
I love film. I love film blogs. I read many. I read firstshowing.net and I saw that they posted a link for their readers to vote for them and I came here to do the exact opposite. Why? Because I really dislike the site and its owner and how he reports "news." I had since then found SlashFilm. The difference in quality and tone and intelligence was immediately apparent. They are the best out there at what they do.

It was a toss-up between Cinematical and Slashfilm for me. I would've voted Spoutblog if they were still posting, but had to go with Slashfilm.

Why not "Get The Big Picture" (www.getthebigpicture.net)? It is an amazing site.

The podcast is fantastic and they always have up-to-date content!
