Whoa, what happened to SquidFlicks today? Well, if you visited anywhere from 12:00 AM to about 5:00 PM, you would have seen the image above instead of the website! (Minus the red text, lol) I thought that that little maintenance-turned-site-shut-down message was a pretty good little joke to let me celebrate April Fool’s Day with a wider audience!

Did you fall for it? I know Patrick did; he sent me a frantic message as soon as he saw the message, and I just about fell out with laughter.

His comments on my joke:

“I hate you man, that’s not funny!”

Ha!

I hope everyone else had a fun day. Be sure and stay tuned for the latest updates on the movie marathon and a remake of the entire SquidFlicks site! There will be some more reviews on the way in between the news posts, so be ready for that as well!

Well, lets all wish Patrick Farmer, co-founder and fellow author of SquidFlicks a happy 17th birthday today! Now he needs to get on the ball and finish that driver’s license up! Just kidding Pat – I feel your pain too about that whole rigmarole!

ALSO, THE POLL ENDS TONIGHT AT 11:59:59 CST! PATRICK, THIS POLL DATE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR BIRTHDAY, SO YOU CAN GET THOSE CRAZY IDEAS OUT OF YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW! =)

I drew that picture with my AWESOME new Wacom Intuos 3 Graphics Tablet! In commemoration of my new ability to hand-create graphics directly into the computer, I have launched a deviantART profile to showcase my/OSS works; check it out and let me know what you think! – osquid.deviantart.com

See you around!

Trailers! Not those kind, though!

SquidFlicks just received another mega-overhaul! Thanks to editor Patrick Farmer, all of the SquidFlicks Previews and Reviews now have trailers for their corresponding titles. Patrick has informed me that there were a few (less than 5) that had no trailers that were publicly available. If you happen across a link for one of these missing trailers – legally please =/ – contact us! I will add it immediately!

Stay tuned for more Squid!

This is an announcement that the post rating feature has been reapplied! I had to add the code to the new template, and it got placed in the wrong spot at first. Look for it under the “add this” button, and rate our posts/reviews accordingly!

We always want to know if you like what we post! =)

Official SquidFlicks Announcement 

Well, a few days ago I informed you all of BIG changes coming to SquidFlicks. Well, some have already taken place, like the new design!

The biggest surprise is one that Patrick and I have been saving for a while now – we have a new editor on the site! Say hello to Dakota Thomas, a fellow film enthusiast and director whose works we have featured on the site in the past. He has a very large library of moves, and has graciously offered to help us take on the hard job of reviewing all sorts of movies and lessen our work load while Horrorhut is under production.

If you are interested in becoming an author or editor of SquidFlicks, please visit the contact page, or visit the Guest Editor page, which is another new feature I will explain below!

Super SquidFlicks Announcement

This is an announcement to all SquidFlicks readers – we are undergoing some seriously huge maintenance and possibly even a server change over the next few days.

SquidFlicks will be better optimized, faster loading, and better looking when it’s all done and over with. I am not sure when that will be though, so hold on tight! We continue to grow, and that’s why I am happy to announce these strenuous and work-filled days that will be coming to the site for me!

As for reviews , we are sorry for the 1-month-long delay – Patrick and I are writing them as I post this!

There is another huge surprise coming up for you readers, look for another news post within the next 48 hours few days or so! =)
