All other considerations aside, good on Devin for getting so involved in pushing Four Lions in the states.

Yeah, speaking just for myself, the combo of the horrible name and heavy Alamo association makes it feel like a niche thing that isn't really for me, whether the actual content is or not. The writing itself seems to be an evolution of what Devin did on chud, in which case it should be worth a look. I mean, this isn't a Hitfix situation where I can barely even stand to look at the site long enough to find any good writing on it, so I guess I'll give it a chance.
But same as you I feel like I've got more than enough movie sites on my plate already. I'd rather have one brilliant one instead of a half dozen quite good ones, and I'm finding it hard to picture this one standing tall above the crowd instead of just joining it. Though again, not being called 'Badass Digest' would probably have helped with that.
