I can get that staring at the walls. If a film is not going to impress me, why bother? In the corporate world of filmmaking today, it's hard for a film to come through the gristmill with a shred of genius intact. A lot of lacklustre films get made. That bothers me. And cranky old fart that I am, I will say it loud and clear when it happens.

Death to the average.

You're going to be disappointed a lot with that kind of attitude. Not everything can be phenomenal. You can't have great movies without the average ones. If every movie was amazing, then they would just become average because there would be nothing to compare it to but that doesnt mean those average movies should be hated. It is possible to enjoy a movie that doesnt blow you away. You just enjoy it on a different level. But hey if that's the way you are, that's fine and no one is going to change that or should even try to. For your sake i hope horror movies can become incredible once again.

A few manage these days. And yes, I am disappointed a lot. I'd rather keep my standards high than start appreciating mediocrity for what it is.

And now, we should return this thread to its appointed subject...

Okay. I still think Facebook is the main culprit.

I suppose I'll have to at some stage. I just don't want high school classmates tracking me down.:eek:

It's amazing how forum-ing went out of fashion so quickly.

Members prefer to lurk on Facebook doing nothing, than come here and post something in a thread topic of interest. I tried posting updates on new competitions and compilation 100s on the Official HDC Facebook Group, yet got no replies even there.

The HDC Facebook Group is pretty much defunct as well.

Overall, the interest in all things horror might still be there, but the interest in horror dot com has certainly flatlined. I keep getting the feeling that this place is running on fumes now. Unless something really dramatic happens, it will be almost impossible to pull HDC out of this current rut.

I miss my friends & cousins...specially who are living abroad as we finally got a regular common place to communicate at any time we want. Though I may have turned out the loser but after that experience of getting my account disabled without any particular reason I'm not using FB anymore. One of my friends (Tanvir) even later opened another account for me to start over again but I refused to return back at FB.

Sometimes I wish I could sue FB!:rolleyes:
