I am ALL about the tenuous links and overbearing design, makes it refreshingly different. The length of the reviews are just right for me as they don't give the reviewer any chance of spoilers unlike Sight & Sound, which is spoilerific most of the times.
I hear ya on the DVD/Blu coverage though, it's definitely lacking, but there raison d'etre seems to be cinema at the cinema, which is pretty brave.
Btw - those early issues go for crazy money on eBay!
