I think that's the reason many of us come to this site, yet 90% of what I read here are bitches and complaints on how bad horror movies or how stupid somebodies opion is.
SO PLEASE!!!
No bitchin' and complaining in here, let's leave this one open for folks to say how much of they love horror movies, no matter how bad they are, and not have to suffer some no it all's wise ass comments. Everyone is intitled to their opionon, but we don't all want to hear it.

i actually understand the frustration - i've experienced it myself.
maybe from a different angle.
I've posted in the past how I HATE the useless posts that refer to a film as gay, or boring, or 'it sucks' and thats it.
I believe that if you're going to commit your critique to a public forum for the world to see then you should take the time to articulate your views properly - or dont fucking bother at all.
i find 99% of the people who do make comments about the films are basing it on their broad experience of seeing a dozen films in the last 4 years of their existence. Does that mean they dont have a voice ? no - but have the level of maturity to express your opinion that's interesting enough to be read. instead of trying to look like a badass all the time. it might impress the other children but anyone over 25 is pretty fucking tired of the ignorance.
another thing to support the frustration is how the actual forums dealing with horror are pretty much dead. most people hang around in general discussing totally unrelated things.- thats fine too ... although most of them have nothing ever to do with the actual horror parts of the forum - ever - so it makes me wonder why the fuck they did join a horror forum to begin with.
i agree fully that there are a ton of shitty movies - and film is completely subjective. So things i like will be hated by other people and vice versa. in a proper discussion - that makes for some interesting and lively reading. however that rarely happens here. someone will make a post that they love a certain film and the deep involved well thought out reply will be 'it sucked donkey balls' wow - origional and insightful.
it will never change - you just have to ignore the garbage and search for the gems.
keep an eye on Pressure's posts. The guy is the ideal poster - insightful, extremely bright, and an incredibly elliquent writer.
too damn good for this place really ... but it gives me something to read.
plus he likes a lot of crap that no one else likes and can explain why. :D
there are some other good posters too - but they are few and far between.
so yeah - i understand the frustration.
