You mean sexually?

...Not to take this off your topic but..I've been asked to write a review for a Swedish/American underground horror magazine..


I'm scared. I dunno how to write. I talk about films like you and I are sitting in a living room just....talking.


::shocked::

::embarrassment::

Lol... I've outgrown any interest in that activity.

I can't picture you scared of anything!

You'll do a great job!

First thing is to read the last 4-5 reviews that have already been published in their magazine. You'll get an idea of what they like in their zine (such as hyping the film, insider winks or something more critical, fanbased casual reviews or something more formal). And you take note of the format: if & where you list the production co, director, actors, etc.

Of course they'll tell you what they want: which film, how many words, what digital format to submit (.pdf, .txt). They may even want you to talk about specific things.

Start early, use a word processor (MS Word), spell check, thesaurus, have a few people proof read it, be ready to rewrite a few times.

If you want to bounce some ideas off me, and/or proof read it, I'll be happy to help.

It might help to record yourself speaking. If I am trying to write a review or a script or anything like that, I begin by recording myself saying what I want to write as if I am reading it out or announcing it (or just saying it to somone sat in the living room ::smile::) because I find it much easier to say it than to write it.

Got my ass kicked by an orkish horde in warhammer 40k.

I know I like extreme horror films but I am very shy and quiet..and how do I critique someones dream?? : )


Thanks! so kind of you! I'd love it. In return I'll give you the link to the film. It's only 30 mins long.



Thank you. what a fabulous idea! I have some notes scribbled. I rewatched it today..yeah I dig it.: )


Thanks for all the kind words. ::love::
