badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

That stuff is only scary to a very specific group of Christians.

Man I'm an asshole. But still, I feel the trope is played out in horror.

I just don't get it. How is a pentagram scary?

One of my big problems with the "scary little kid" trope in movies is that the acting of little kids can be pretty spotty, no fault to the kids of course, but it's tough to expect a kid to having the acting chops to carry intense stuff like that.

Sometimes it works but lots of the time it's just kinda meh.

Sometimes I’ll see them try to compensate with a lot of cheap looking CG that makes it funnier.

Are you thinking of the Silent Hill movie? Because that's what I'm thinking of

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That, and a couple others like the Amityville Horror remake in the 2000’s
