The correct term is MURDERCORNS.

You missed the point of my post. I explain myself above. Also, I have no idea why these posts were deleted. It was hardly flame war stuff.

I wasn't being serious about my original post. I was poking fun at the idea of someone being annoyed when they make a grimace that they then get told to smile more.

I was poking fun at the idea of someone with a sour face being annoyed when told to smile more. Can't you see the humor in that?

It can be tricky, but I think it depends on how it's done. If they're just being friendly or looking to cheer someone up it's not that awful. However, in my post above I address an instance where it's unwanted.

I smile on trains, and if I don't want to talk, I simply tell them so in a polite manner. There's enough sour faces in transit. However, I do understand it's different for a woman who's constantly being hit on. That would get old fast. I just thought the seeming contradiction in Katie Rife's comments were a little

You must really hate grammar too.

That's great! This along with the short in the article have scared me more than all the gothic horror stories I've read, and horror movies I've seen this month. While we're sharing horror shorts, here's The Ten Steps:

Best romantic comedy?

Maybe Val Lewton? Granted his output wasn't over decades and he did do some other kinds of films..

Here's the talking spots of Carpenter on TCM. Fun to listen to him talk, but more he speaks of a few sci-fi-horror movies and westerns he's loved since childhood. It's also funny to see the jarring cuts from, "Here's the movie" to "Wasn't that a great movie!"

What a silly claim. He was influenced by movies like: Night of the Living Dead, The Innocents, and The Thing From Another World. Just go back to Assault on Precinct 13 and you'll see gang members acting like mindless zombies. Sure, Assault on Precinct 13 owes much to Westerns, but it has a little horror in its DNA.

I'm pretty sure we already have proof of that.

I don't know, their forms of mental illness were pretty diverse.

You need to ease the player in, and slowly build-up the tension. Throwing a player right into gore and things popping out isn't scary, it's tense, and if done wrong, it's laughable. Alien: Isolation has its issues, but one thing it did perfectly was taking its time to build-up tension through sound design and creeping

It never felt like Ghostbusters to me. More of a typical "save the world" and "friends can defeat anything" nonsense. Granted, there are similarities, but Ghostbusters had the luxury of being a much shorter and tighter story, had characters you got to know and like, and never lost its sense of humor even when facing

I laughed like a fool at the Thing moment, where he dragged the Tardis around with his hand. Did anyone else get Chinese puzzle vibes from the Tardis in siege mode? There were some great visual gags in this one, like Clara magically pulling out the sledgehammer, and swinging on the bubble chair while reassuring her

The joke is that they're crappy, homemade costumes. Even though part of the costume might be right [A witch mask], the body is still a plain old sheet.

Nerds are like ancient Roman spectators: Only happy if it's to the death!

Good to know. I can understand the desire to fight the good fight. I cringe when I see sexist and homophobic bullshit in all kinds of places. It's sad when people refuse to grow up and evolve. But do remember some people won't and can't change. Don't let it eat and drain you too much. Know when to throw the towel in
