We're bummed, too, believe me! But stay tuned: at some point in the next few weeks, I'm planning to post a general list of the blogs where you can find various soon-to-be-ex-Screengrabbers after June 1!

Wait, what? This is awful. Isn't there anything that can be done? Why don't you have a fundraiser or something? Try to get more readers somehow so you can attract more corporate sponsorship. Add a couple of advertisement bars on the side of your screen. You guys have long pages - have them going all up and down the sides of them. Your readers won't care; we'd understand. Isn't there anyway around this??

I live in fucking Iowa! I go to school in Minnesota - but that's still not much better. How am I supposed to get my movie related news? I don't care about anything besides reading about movies and no one covers movies like you guys. I read your site 3 times a day. I feel like I'm having an arm cut off. Again, I live in the mid-fucking-west -- you guys are completely cutting me off. I don't want to have to start reading The Guardian - that sites boring as hell. No other web sites have the character that Screengrab does.

If it is over, can you guys PLEASE suggest a site like yours to your reader -- one that has character, a humorously cynical tone, posts about 10 times a day, and likes the good and bad movies that you do?

I know it's none of my business, but you guys should get Nerve to give you thescreengrab.com as severance and just host the blog elsewhere. You already have a good thing going and a built-in audience.

One of the few things on Nerve I try to catch on a regular basis. This sucks...did they get tired of paying you guys in circus peanuts?

Haha no dice, sorry. Hope you guys find a home soon, it's really hard to find film sites with consistently good articles. Especially gonna miss Unwatchable.

Man, this is devastating news. Along with AV Club, the Screengrab was my favorite source of non-Variety film discussion.

Along with the earlier Scanner announcement, this is really tragic.

Best of luck guys. Please post where you end up, so we can follow the goodness!

Damnation. I'd only started following Screengrab in the last few months. I can think of about fifty blogs that I only wish would be taken off life-support. This is not one of them.

Well, any and all homeless bloggers looking for shelter are welcome to sign on over at my dump (hell, *somebody* has to).

Best to all in any event.

By the way, if you are trying to increase traffic, gratuitous shots of that idiot Heidi will not cut it. Some Penelope Cruz might do the trick...

Well, fuck me! The blogs are the only reason I still come to Nerve. So, Nerve editors, fuck you!
