Nosferatu (1922) one of my all time favorite movies, and I can't explain why.

 


Personally, I prefer the soundtrack of the one on tubi, but this is okay too. Tubi is a free streaming service that has tons of classic movies. 


Nosferatu is easily one of my all time favorite movies. There is just something about this movie I love-the horror, atmosphere, sense of uneasiness, and just the mystery of it all. With the film being as old as it is, there is something almost surreal about it. Almost like a vampire itself when compared to the behind scenes stuff of modern movies.

I just love this film and have watched it multiple times. I'm a fan of classic movies. I have recently gotten into silent films which are big on tubi. They have a great (1925) Phantom Of The Opera that is partly colorized and has it's own soundtrack which I also love. I just love epic silent movies with great soundtracks-especially silent gothic and horror films. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is also another that left an impression.

I just feel that silent horror films have their own unique form of horror in a very subtly unnerving way that leaves the horror more inward and forces us into an uneasy state of mind than just shocking us like modern horror films do

Nowadays, most horror films are just too flashy and gory for my taste and seem to go out of their way to over emphasize the horror in ways that leave me more disgusted than anything. My favorite relatively 'modern' horror film has to be Misery. It is similar in that the horror is more psychological and is made in a way that is felt by the mind than in any type of gore by how realistic the setting is.

I prefer the subtended forms of horror that came out earlier. I personally just don't feel modern horror films give me the sense of dread and horror than the old silent classics do.

I suppose in the end, it's just down to personal preference. I know a remake is coming out on Christmas.

Could it live up the original? Can it capture what made the original just so horrifying in a way people still talk about it over a century later?

I have no clue. That's all I can say.

Critics United? Now, that's a throwback!-Also, adults bullying kids!

 Some of you, youngins, might not know who these people are. Just us old folks who had their start on FFN, which has been in a long-welcomed decline. I won't talk about my past fics on here mainly because they were God awful and not Fairy Tail, so not relevant. I never had a run in with CU (I am aware of what that means in Portuguese, so I'll use it because it's so fitting) thankfully, but I know many who weren't as lucky. Okay, CU was the moral police of FFN. FFN has some pretty weird rules about pretty harmless fics like no second pov, no audience interaction, no script fics, and no song lyrics. It's pretty dumb all in all. These were harmless. Admittedly, I could understand fics that were smut/spicy especially if they contained non-con or anything underaged. There was a separate site called Adult Fanfiction. Net for that and other sites as well. But song lyrics? Come on that's harmless. It should be noted that a lot of fics that including stuff like song lyri...

Fanfic Advice: How to deal with constructive criticism and flames.

 It is not easy to deal with bad feedback when you are a writer. There is a quote in Fairy Tail that sticks out to me where it says that being a writer is like showing the world your butt. And honest to god that's true. Whether it's traditionally published original work or fanfic, we writers really put a lot of our soul into our writing, and we are sharing something very personal with the world, so getting bad feedback or even-worse-outright flames can feel like a punch to the gut. Here's some advice on how to deal with it. I rarely get flamed, I will get constructive criticism (Which are two very different things, as I'll explain) but it's rare when someone gets outright rude to me. But not too long ago, I did get a review that opened with "-Not to be rude-" I 'love' it when people open with 'not to be rude' but then say something incredibly rude, as though saying that in the first place somehow negates the rudeness. I didn't read the ...
