Hello, Hollywood studios? If your awards screener apps are gonna buffer every 30 seconds no matter how fast one's Internet speeds are, it's tough to consider your film for the awards I can vote in.

I'm wasting my limited screener views trying to make this work.

The BFI having a sci-fi season smack in the middle of London Film Festival is killing me... #FilmCriticProblems

I am not traveling an hour on COVID-infested mass transit for a screening of a short film. I'm... just... not. Sorry. #FilmCriticProblems

Being a school teacher by day, I don't know how I thought I was going to have spare time and energy to review a pair of movies last week or this week with the start of school. #underwater #filmcriticproblems

Okay, I’m just gonna say it: the @AppleTV press screening platform is absolute shit to navigate. #FilmCriticProblems

New #FilmCriticProblems annoyance unlocked: A press-screener platform that only gives you screener-expiration info *after* the fact. You can only know in retrospect how long you had to watch it, and how close you are to having missed that window. Feels kinda Orwellian, TBH...

Only thing I know about my Seattle Film Critics Society ballot due Friday is that I'm voting for #Paddington2 and #Roma in multiple categories. Otherwise things are still entirely up in the air. Good thing I still I have two more days to decide. #NoPressure #FilmCriticProblems

Why do movie-studio press sites have some of the worst UX of anything online? #FilmCriticProblems

Being a school teacher by day watching the summer break circle down the drain, I'm taking the week off from new releases. No Freakier Friday, The Pickup, or Weapons for me. Time to turn my gaze to the classroom. #schoolteacherproblems #filmcriticproblems

Can't watch @Vimeo screeners on my smart TV anymore.

Suddenly hitting the spacebar on my laptop while watching Vimeo screeners mutes sound, doesn't pause.

Now this "Player error."

Any distribs using Vimeo for their press screeners might wanna reconsider...

Seriously @Scream_Factory, I'm running out of room. Bookshelf is getting more than a little full. #FilmCriticProblems

So, @Vimeo just asked me for age verification. (I'm 56, BTW.) This is gonna fuck with a LOT of filmmakers, PRs, and studios sharing their films with critics for review. #EverythingIsBroken #FuckThisShit #FilmCriticProblems

My email address plastered across a digital press screener just obscured something important onscreen, so that’s fun. #FilmCriticProblems

Why can't I get away from turning every movie review into something epic?! I used to be able to write short, snappy capsules. What is wrong with me? 😩 #FilmCriticProblems
