Am I the only one who find Gomorrahizer’s posts incredibly hard to read?
I’m often interested in the films but skip his posts because of the huge block of text, URL links, alternative titles, actors, past films by, etc. Do we really need *all* that information for every single post?
Sorry to be so critical but I hope this comment can be taken constructively.

I agree.

I agree too. Rather than link to every actor and every movie they’ve been in, I’d much rather read what The Gomorrahizer’s opinion is on whatever movie he’s talking about.
It’s obvious that he knows a hell of a lot about Japanese cinema but it’d be cool if he could bring more of his personality into his posts rather than just an exahustive amount of links.
I really don’t mean to be rude anything but one of the best things about Twitch is not only the amazing knowledge of Asian cinema but each writer’s unique perspective on it.
