#2——–It doesn’t pollute the main blog, but still gives the ability to showcase everything and then specifically shines on one thing, which I think works great already. So, win/win.

Hi, I’m here to let you all in on an incredible development of this young, movie critic’s career in the media.

Starting in just over a month’s time, we will be giving ‘Sexman’ his own slot on primetime Fox News.

We felt that his involvement would allow us to connect with the movie-going public that identifies with his review style and we look forward enormously to working with him.

I go with option number2, but how about add it to just this site. Maybe by advertising it under the normal page that way people can get the idea to go there. I really like the cool stuff alot. Hell I have come to really love this site period. I use to stick to just AICN and stuff like that but this site has alot more. I think you should go ahead with option 2 and just promote the hell out of it on this page, that way people dont just foget about the cool stuff and it doesnt fade off into non-existence. By the way the site rocks….. Anthony

I have to say I am also against the idea of another blog. I know everyone is liking the idea, but it sounds ALOT like it would become Boing Boing, or GIzmodo, or any of several other ‘Cool Stuff’ sites that are already out there. The thing I personally like about your choices is that they’re YOUR choices, stuff you found interesting enough to post about. Posting all the cool stuff dilutes that and makes it just another posting site. And we have those already.

Maybe, as a suggestion, one featured Cool Stuff post each day that you talk about, and then a quick list of runners-up without comment, all in the same post. Kind of a “featured” cool stuff with editorial (which is also another thing I enjoy) and then a quick hit list without editorial. That could use up more items without making more work, and leaves the decision to look into more detail up to your readers.

Now, if starting another site is a financial decision… then I leave that up to you.

my two cents worth.

Sexman section!

It depends entirely on whether you think that sexman is cool stuff, in which case please never ever post it again.

I have to say that Cool Stuff isn’t why I read /film, so if it became littered with Cool Stuff posts I’d be kind of annoyed.

Also I probably wouldn’t check a second blog. Not that I wouldn’t like it but I’ve got too much to read as it is.

So I vote for #3. But if you choose #2 I really don’t mind.

I vote for the seemingly unpopular, “Keep It Simple”. While the postings are indeed… cool, too many postings increase the likelihood of reiterating what readers may see on other sites.

wow didn’t think so many people would go for two. I think I would like two, but honestly I might stop checking (or actually forgetting to check it) after a while.
