I never really checked this site out before, but some of the Quotes that Lord Perrin has been posting, and Penny Arcade's strip a few days ago made me check it out.

And I have to wonder, why is this site so popular?

I mean, it has to be one of the ugliest looking sites I've ever seen.

The layouts, the font size and color are ghastly.

So what it is that makes it great?

The reviews, previews, forums?

Basically, they're popular because they get the dirt on upcoming movies long before it's officially announced. While there are other rumor sites which may post things earlier, if it's on Aintitcool you can be 99% sure it's true.

You're right tho, it's looooooong overdue for a graphical upgrade.

And the odd bit of gossip.

I like the site. Its not just movie news but comics, books, anime, and other odd bits that pop up every now and then. Its a good place to get a good idea about an upcoming movie, because they will post reviews from a good range of people. Also, Harry and Moriarty (the two head honchos) have a HUGE knowledge of movies. While I don't always agree with them, when it comes to comparing movies they always impress me.
