WHAT IS THIS PLACE? Cinema Blend, can't you read? One of the final independently owned entertainment sites on the internet, Cinema Blend's refuse to be told what to say. While everyone else is selling out, we remain free. Free to tell you where we're coming from, what we're thinking, and how we got there. We say what we want, consequences be damned. Cinema Blend is the perfect blend of all kinds of different personalities, ideas, and styles unlike anything you'll find anywhere else. We're defined by our writers, and our staunch refusal as a group and a community to be influenced, held back, or reigned in by outside pressures which so often corrupt the writing and reporting of others in the entertainment information industry. Oh and while we're at it we do our best to be snarky, fun, and informative. This is entertainment we're reporting on here after all, not the stock ticker. In the process of all that we end up with what you see here. A massive site filled to the brim with thousands of mildly interesting, occasionally exciting editorials, reviews, reports, previews, and half-crazed rants written by CB Head Honcho Josh Tyler and the crack staff of Cinema Blend writers. Pull your pants up guys! We're based in Dallas, Texas, but have writers chiming in from all over the country and the world. Gives us that sexy European flair you've heard so much about. If you're lucky, you might have seen our work other places too. Currently we're syndicated in print and on the web to people who think we're worth forcing their subscribers to read. Throw all that in a pot and we're read by millions of people every month. BE A PART OF THE BLEND You'd like to syndicate our work, wouldn't you? Of course you would. You have taste, style and charm. You're also in luck. We have affordable and easy-to-use plans that let you reprint our content in your newspaper, website, or newsletter. Just us for more information. Want to advertise on the site?

A Lie: On the weekends Rafe plays Role Playing Games with Wil Wheaton and Vin Diesel - that is to say, Rafe's friends role play, pretending to be Wil and Vin. We're still not sure if even Rafe's friends are more than imaginary at this point. Track What I Watch: Rafe's 2008 Movie Log Friend Me: On MySpace E-mail: 
Mack Rawden
Title: Music Editor Known To Say: "I plan on raising (my kids) in a seedy environment of second hand smoke, swearing, and gradual disappointment. The type of place where only artists and madmen thrive and the sane ooze into debauchery." A Lie: Mack was the original drummer for Twisted Sister but quit after lead singer Dee Snider made a disparaging comment about the Chicago Cubs. He defends his impulsive departure vehemently to this day. Friend Me: On Facebook  Kelly West

Kona Gallagher
Title: TV Writer Known To Say: "It would be rude to compare Britney's performance to that of a tired stripper with glazed-over eyes working the Wednesday 11am-6pm shift at a club by the truck stop, teetering across the stage in too-high heels while a lit cigarette hangs out of the corner of her mouth, leaving a trail of ashes in her wake—so I won't." 
Pete Haas
Title: Games Writer Known To Say: "Orange Box was like some package you'd see on an informercial."If you call now, I'll not only give you the rotisserie grill, I'll throw in the steak knives, the cooking gloves, and the flavor injector!" 
Edward Perkis

Rema Rahman
Title: Music Writer Known To Say: "I'm sorry to hear that you are upset your shitty band failed to get a Grammy Awards nomination. I'm even sorrier to hear you dry-humped your signature onto a contract to play a Grammy party - before the nominees were announced - because you were SO sure your pathetic attempt at making music would get even more undeserved attention." 
Leanne Cari
Title: Staff Photographer / Previews / Celeb News  
Tim Beringer
Title: Games Writer Known To Say: "The video game industry has been telling us we'll be receiving a fine surf & turf meal and all they've been delivering is some undercooked hamburger and shrimp.

Jessica Grabert
Title: Music Writer Known To Say: "Juxtaposing Tom Petty's voice with Mike Campbell's guitar rifts is like having sex between Egyptian cotton sheets—it may not be the most technically astounding collaboration, but it sure fucking feels good. " 
Scott Gwin
Title: Film & DVD Critic/Box Office Correspondent Known To Say: "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo has been hailed by some as Rob Schneider's funniest movie. Please bear in mind, that's kind of like saying "She Bangs" is William Hung's best song. "

Rich Knight
Title: Contributing Games Writer Known To Say: "Crescent Galaxy and Primal Rage...rounded out the system as "good games." And if those were the "good games", I'd hate to play the "bad" ones. Do the Math, dude, you + Jaguar = loser."

Mariana McConnell
Title: Contributing Movies & Music Writer Known To Say: "While the fact that Winehouse didn’t go all Clockwork Orange on the British police is a disappointment to this writer, at least she can check “get arrested twice” off her list of things to do before she flames out in a cloud of crack smoke courtesy of new pal Pete Doherty."
