Fun Times with Stumbleupon
I recently became interested in Stumbleupon as a means of site promotion. In discovering this site I also learned that people are apparently fans of I Love Horror. Conversely, I also discovered people don’t understand the concept of opinion and subjectivity.
“Praises hacks, criticises films made by real film-makers. Typical modern horror fan.” – AYBGerrardo
Regarding my Best/Worst of the year list:
“This list fails! This person has obviously never seen Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy. That and the best of list is terrible and can be done way better.” – Lepur
“How can you say you like horror and put Paranormal Activity on this list?” – 2c-e
“Zombieland was mediocre, Paranormal Activity was a total bore and anyone who slams Wes Craven over his superior Last House version has zero cred.” – ChristopherLo
“Why the fuck do people think that paranormal activity was a good film? It was long, boring, predictable, and they gave away the “best” scene in the fucking trailer.” – danstg0721
A little good amongst the bad:
“I normally don’t like blogs. I like this one. I like how he shares his opinion and doesn’t state it as fact. It’s just another point of view without being treated as if it’s factual.” – beckysue2009
What have I learned from all of this?
People are fucking stupid. Very, very stupid.

Well, I coulda told you that….
It is quite sad that people do not understand the meaning behind opinion and subjectivity, but you are correct that people are stupid, incredibly stupid.
Everybody’s a critic…oh, wait a minute…
Okay, but not everybody has the tact, common sense, or good taste you blog with. So there, to all those opinionated idiots.
And that’s a fact.
I can’t deal with blogging anymore. I sort of decided the other day to stop blogging because I hate putting all this effort into what I write and then the only thing I ever get back is people being rude fuckers and trying to drag you down.
Kudos to you, and keep writing, because although sometimes the immeasurable weight of douchebags makes it seem like it, there are plenty of us who really enjoy reading you.
If it weren’t for stumbleupon, I never would have found this wonderful website. I have seen you movie recommendations, and based on your opinions on what YOU think a great horror flick is, I think I’m definitely going to keep tabs here.
I hate how people attack others over OPINIONS, it’s always the same.
They feel that you’re attacking what they believe in so they try to defend it.
Preposterous.
Anyway, this rocks.
Keep up the good work.
P.S. I hear all of my friends saying what a good horror flick Mirrors is and this is and that is. Wasted my time watching the movies and became very disappointed that I knew those people, worst movies I’ve seen.
P.S.S. Paranormal Activity was the first horror flick that frightened me in a long time… a break from the cliche “jump out of your seat” moments, more like cringing and anticipation.
Hee hee, people sure are funny. Thanks for sharing, that kind of helps you feel validated somewhat when you do enjoy a movie like Paranormal Activity.
