reviews = subjective

maybe most u guys will consider yourself 'horror experts' - yippe kayo kayay (Sp?) for you, but even then im sure there were tons of people who liked this movie just as there are as many of u that hated it. consider them, Laymen horror fans, if u will.

anyway, she did the right thing. got her name out as well as HDCs. until your actually OUT there, negativity will not get you anywhere (of course, there are the exceptions like Stern or Springer). keep it up and maybe one day she and/or hdc will have more a say in future horror movies/books/publications etc....

and btw - i could tell it sucked from previews. hence, i didnt see it. but if it were ever to come on HBO or whatever, yeh, i'll watch.

2364 votes on IMDB.. I'm sure they are the authority on movies. And im sure EVERYONE across the nation who saw the movie decided to vote on there yeh?

Lame? yeh, that works. Laymen.... Lame...... maybe it was meant to be that way?

Not the authority. Just a good cross-section of every demographic. Just so you know, any time you see a poll, they usually don't take into account the opinion of every single person. Instead, they take a random sampling of the population. That's what this is and that's why it's valid. And on a related note, this particular movie scored considerably higher with girls under the age of 18 than with any other demographic. (That does not surprise me one iota. It's probably the first horror movie they ever saw.)

It certainly seems appropriate in this scenario. *shrug*

<<An opinion can't be "wrong". You may not agree, but to say that any reviewer was "wrong" is just... wrong!>>

That's called sarcasm. It's a joke.

Anyway, I just wanted to point out that my reviews (read in their entirety) are my *honest* opinion. If I enjoyed Cursed, then OK, you may not agree but that doesn't mean I should be strung up. When I agree with you on a movie, does that you'll be calling for a raise in my pay? You can't have it both ways. Sometimes you'll agree with a person's review, sometimes you won't. And life will go on.

Sure. I'll run all my future reviews past you from now on. (More sarcasm :) )

Best,
Staci

Hey, it's all about me, buddy.

Actually, I did post a few things here and there a couple of years ago, but no one ever replied and actually, I have very little time for message boards. They can become very addictive, and I really need to spend my days working. (I not only write for this site, but several others, plus print magazines, and I am on deadline for my upcoming book on ghost movies.)

Someone brought this thread to my attention, or I probably wouldn't have seen it. I click on the threads from the front page occassionally, but they are mostly flame wars (or about what people are eating) so I generally keep out.

I just wanted to explain how the quote-thing sometimes works and to add that I'm not a shill for the studios. I honestly thought Cursed was fun. If most people didn't, that's cool -- I don't put anyone down for their honest opinion on any film. And... Yes, I think it's a boon for Horror.com either way -- getting our name out there beyond just the online community will help us grow. Horror.com is also mentioned in the acknowledgements of both of my books, and I am doing everything I can to help support it because I think it's the best horror site out there.

Best,
Staci
