My Movies.png

Lately I have felt that people aren't that interested in my content any longer.

Eventhough I have been active on Hive on a(n almost) daily basis for over 5.5 years and I do my best to interact and to spread postivity and words of encouragement all around, I seem to get little interaction ( and few valuable upvotes ), aside from votes and some comments from my favorite groupies. Now I know that there's more to Hive than upvotes, but it still affects me ( as a hypersensitivosaurus ) and it makes me question what I'm doing on here.

Now the aforementioned might be due to the bear market ( I posted a series of short - and in my opinion - funny posts about this, that you can find by checking out yesterday's The Bull Market - The Week After the Egg-cident ) or it might just be that my content isn't seen as that valuable ( story of my life as a creative ). In any case, I would understand.

I'm curious though if it is indeed the latter ( do I really want to hear this haha! ) and - if so - I am willing to adapt, eventhough I know that I should actually share the stuff that I feel like sharing ( will keeping doing that too, for sure ) instead of adapting too much to the 'market'.

Then again, as those who have had me on their radar for a handful of years will know, I used to blog about movies. Not so strange, if you know that I studied film in Uni (2000-2007) and that I was a shoestring budget independent filmmaker, uptill early 2019. As a result of this, I also blogged about filmmaking.

Now I'm not planning on posting about my filmmaking any day soon ( after all, I'm not a filmmaker these days ) but I am still watching plenty of films and like to think that I know how to talk about them in an interesting, not so average way.

So what do you think? Should I start posting about films again? I'm looking forward to your comments. You're also just welcome to upvote, I will take that as a YES too.

I will probably start with ( a bunch of ) post(s) on 80s horror/ sci-fi flicks that I rewatched and showed to my friend and regularly returning visitor vindiesel1980@vindiesel1980 , in the past couple of days.


I guess I already answered my own question. Just needed to get this off my chest. Comments are still welcome though ;<)

P.S. If you're looking forward to ( my ) upcoming movie posts, I invite you to follow my alt account - that I created just for this, years back - vincinema@vincinema That was I can actually keep my content separated and still use my main account for other types of posts too.

P.P.S. The pic above this post is a zoomedin cut-out of my account on Letterboxd.com, which is a pretty cool tool to log your movie watching history. Feel free to connect with me on there too or check out what I've seen and like: https://letterboxd.com/Vinfilm/
