DVDTalk Adult reviewer "Primal Rave" is awful
In his lattest review he makes all kinds of typos, gramatical errors, leaves out entire words, and often writes run on sentences that make ZERO sense. Is this the best that DVDTalk can do?
Some samples:
“The scene ends with Shawnie swallowing done two full loads.”
“…and quite frankly I didn't for them much.”
“Or perhaps its just that she's great in front of the camera, with the way she sucks dick or how she heated her sex scenes are?”
“While I've made several references in previous reviews that she stars, I must again.”

Ok enough ragging on you Pants. I do appreciate the feedback, and we've got a thread going in our Reviewers Forum about what we can do to make sure we continue to maintain a high level of quality in our reviews. So your comments have had a real and immediate effect (also Primal Rave has gone in and addressed some of the specific issues you've raised)
One of the thing we really try to do with the DVD Talk Review Panel is bring on a wide mix of people with a blend of writing styles, backgrounds, and interests. Some of our writers are extremely talented with words, others really know their subject matter and are honing their craft. So give guys like Primal a chance, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to see how they develop as reviewers. It is important to point out that Primal Rave was the one who completely designed the new look for many of our adult reviews, which I feel was a major step towards making our adult reviews even more helpful for readers looking to find good adult DVDs.

The fact of the matter is I'm just a guy posting on a website, I don't even spell check, this guy is a critic being published on the web and his reviews wouldn't even be coherent if you fixed the typos.
But thanks for addressing the issue.

I would volunteer to review the adult titles but I never seem to be able to get past the first five minutes or so.

I think we should be happy one of us is willing to watch a whole porno and tell us if it is good or not.
Now that is taking one for the team
I am much like JustinS although I last at least 15 minutes or maybe that is due to old age
This thread did make me think I might have the skills needed to be a reviewer

Pornos require reviews?
Harry Driver thrusts with a panache this reviewer has rarely seen. His co-star, Finnish sensation Anika Diklikker, is equal to the task, delivering her oohs and ahhs with intelligence and wit. Her Shake-spear-ian roots cum in handy, and she could prove to be the next Mare L. Strip. Director Rod Smegma shows his skill with the mise en scene, and his camera glides gracefully from one end of the room to the other. Special mention should go to the groovy soundtrack, which accents the more intense scenes perfectly.
This could be the cop-a-feel-good movie of the year!

While Pants (haha) isn't proving his point (haha) well, he does have one. The errors he pointed out would have been caught quite easily if only the reviewer had simply PROOFREAD HIS DAMN REVIEW.
As one of the Internet's great Grammar Nazis™, I cringe at how often people completely destroy their intended meaning through misspellings and poor grammar. The solution to 90% of the problems simply requires you to read what you have written. That's it. Just read it once. You type it. You read it. You correct it. You post it. The world will wait the extra 15 seconds, I assure you.
