Hmmm, on the subject of more community reviews, I suppose I could post some of the ones I wrote for my own amusement. Quick and probably dumb question, do custom tv show reviews count as reader reviews or should I just post those in the television thread?

I would post them in the TV section.

I do kinda wish we could get back to posting new reviews like before


There was a time when the main focus here was discussion of specific movies. Someone would post a 'review' (or recap or whatever) and a discussion would take off:

(1) Those who saw it would comment about what was liked/what wasn't.
(2) Those who hadn't would comment...want to see it/don't, 'sounds similar to' or whatever.

Take a look at both the Bad Movies and Good Movies boards.  "Reviews" are posted quite consistently.  They receive a lot of 'looks,' but few comments.  Reviews for specific movies typically get single digit, if any at all, replies.

Threads like "favorite actor" or other "general" topics tend to get more replies.

I could well be wrong, but in my (limited) perspective, it seems like the decline in overall activity corresponds - at least in part - with the loss of discussion of MOVIES.

Oh well...

It happens every year.  I do miss Andrew, and the old boys, but I still stop in daily.

Sorry, I meant the ones Andrew posts under B Move Reviews or Reader Reviews.  Not Submitted Reader Reviews (there's still plenty of action there).

I stopped making individual movie posts for everything I saw because so many of them got no comments and it seemed wrong to have a bunch of posts with no comments littering the board. I probably should make more posts for individual movies that might be of interest, but not every one. It's a bit of a juggling act.

I'll think I'll make a movie post now.

One more thing: the badmovies.org domain registration expires in June 2017. Andrew will have to make a decision then whether he wants to renew it or not. If he doesn't renew it I will try to make sure there is a place for us to go, either by buying the domain from Andrew or by setting up my own forums. (Heck, even a FB group might work just for the gang to keep in touch).

Yeah, I can agree on that one. I never really wanted to use FaceBook for specific reasons I don't feel the need to get into.

If this site goes down, it would be really nice to have a substitute forum for us fans of ghastly films to chat about... ghastly films. And other things too, of course.  Cheers

So is Andrew really gone?
He's always pulled long absences, but has someone heard that he's giving up on this place?

Well... since his last review was in 2013, and I haven't heard of any activities of his lately, I think it's safe to assume that he has moved on to other things. But I haven't paid enough attention to know for sure, so there's still the possibility that he'll return.

Andrew was last active here on the 20th Feb: perhaps he's just busier than ever since he retired from the Marine Corps?

He's not gone, but he's not involved either. He's just busy with other things.

Well, we can keep the place going for him as long as we need to.
I just wish he'd pop in and say hi!

Funny, I've barely reviewed or commented on movies here, but I reviewed probably hundreds of them on Amazon.com in the 2000s.
