If there is no diary, it will be missed.

Maybe those of us who live in Utah should coordinate Relief Society-style to bring you meals in tupperware that we don't need back. I hope that you get to eat somewhere besides Burger King this year.

Maybe if you can't do a full-day recap you can at least share a few interesting tidbits from each day?

You apply because you want to be part of a group of colleagues for camaraderie, professional advice, shared experiences, etc. As far as tangible benefits, OFCS members get DVD "for your consideration" screeners from the studios at the end of the year, which is handy at awards season. We don't recruit members, though -- there's an application process, and the idea is to limit it to the cream of the crop, so that saying you're part of the Online Film Critics Society really means something. As for the other question, it's the other way around. We hope people who aren't members but who are interested in the world of film and film criticism will see that our site has content that appeals to them. For a long time our site has generally been of interest to OFCS members only, and we're trying to get the word out that that's changing. Hank: Well, it’s like any other trade organization.

Say I’m an online film critic. . .what advantage would there be for me to join? Also, doesn’t “trying to increase the group’s relevance in the lives of people who aren’t film critics” basically translate to “we want more hits on our website?”
