Gotta' Complain Again

O.K., so I never actually get to the part where I write about topics that don't affect me emotionally and are fun to get feedback on, with one exception...

I still have the film group up and running. I continue to post films even though I get no feedback whatsoever. If I did, I think I would have lots more to say, AND I would be lots more excited. I hate to be a jerk about this, but I am disappointed.

Part of my love of the films is magnified by sharing them with others who share views. I am not getting that part. For the first time in nearly ten months, I did not bother writing a review for this past week's film ((GASP)). I know, I can hear the earth grinding to a halt as we speak.

Not being the type that throws out ultimatums (especially when the outcome affects no one but me) I won't, but I will say that my dreams of a film community, sharing thoughts and emotions sparked by film as an art form, are about to be extinguished. Plainly said- This is no fun! Posting films that I watch and review is not "floating my boat" so to speak.

Maybe I will look for other topics, maybe I won't. I am having a bad week and losing the film group may just be the cherry on top.

Don't worry, if my more cynical readers are on to this train of thought- I don't NEED other peoples thoughts or approval to be happy. This really is JUST about my film interests.

If you want to try and join me on this, please let me know. If I hear only crickets, I will pack it on up and seek film gratification in other ways :)

Happy trails!

I haven't checked it out today yet, but I will as soon as I'm done with this post, I just haven't been on thoughts in a while. But, I definately see what you're saying, I joined a couple of groups, joined, not started, and either myself, or the moderator and I are the only ones that have posted anything! No one even responds, it's like what's the point? I don't think enough people are really aware of the group sections on thoughts, which is why I haven't started one of my own yet.

Thanks for confirming that it is a problem with Groups here, in general. It's funny because there was a week when several people joined in a row. I thought for sure one or two of them would say something, but- no dice.

If you do watch any of the films on the list, I hope you enjoy them. I put most of the films on because they are thought provoking or really engrossing, as well as entertaining. I really enjoy talking to people about films, their own suggestions too.

Thanks for posting and sharing your thoughts :)
