                Muslims like to talk big, but they have no guts to back it up. None of the Islamic countries will directly intervene in the conflict cause they don't want to risk it backfiring. I could see israelites going that far out of spite, sure, but I think the traditional old ethnic cleansing is way more likely. As for Russia and China, the former is busy with Ukraine, they couldn't even help Armenia and the latter is smart enough to know any sort of conflict is not in its best interest

        What is the goal of the horror genre, exactly? What do you mean by "scary"? Some people like jump scares, others don't. Some want gore and brutality, others want slow burn tension and/or off screen violence.
        I think the horror genre is better now than it's ever been. There's far more selection available for whatever your preferences are. It's easier to access the films than ever. Special effects are far more believable than before. Cinematic quality achievable from a low budget is vastly superior to what was affordable even a couple decades ago. Old movies haven't disappeared, so you have everything from today as well as back then.

        In line with the above, this post is truth, as much as many people on this board want to pretend it's not so as to have an excuse for their own complicity in the state of their miserable lives.

          Boomers love playing this "it's your own fault" game but the reality is they've utterly crippled society. Doesn't mean people shouldn't try as hard as they can but it's not as things were back then anymore.

            Society was fricked back then, too, you're looking through a filtered lens. You think the average woman in the 1950s could go and have a fair shot at some engineering job, even with the requisite experience and education? Or some dark-skinned immigrant? Tough luck.
            Things were better on average "back then" because most of the world was facing crippling post-war economic devastation or constant government collapses, coups, and civil wars. The surviving states were propped up on the dozens of non-functional ones acting as resource pools for the wealthy ones. The violent crime rate in the first world was much higher then than it was now. No one in the USA is being forced into military service.
            I didn't say that people today have shitty lives because it's their "own fault". I'm saying that it's false that 100% of why their lives suck is because of conditions totally out of their control. People had to put in effort to have nice lives back then, and they still do. Even if the balance has shifted from "60% luck / 40% effort" to "50% luck / 50% effort", in almost all cases if you have a shitty life today and you live in a first-world country, that's due to your own choices.

                Which is exactly how it was back then as well. There wasn't fair competition/access to education and employment. Tons of people that could have done those jobs better never even had a shot at them.
                Employers have never been a good judge of competency, back then or now. They've always been nepotistic, clannish, and short-sighted.
                All my other points remain. Health care is much improved, there's mind-blowingly more diversity/access in entertainment and music, people have more ability to control their style/clothing, everyone has access to Wikipedia and tons of self-education materials, you can do all of your shopping quickly and efficiently, the air is cleaner, you can work from home, you can read news about any topic 24/7, people don't smoke cigarettes indoors all the time, you can communicate with friends/family across the globe instantly, etc.
                You are just seeking misery if you're being intentionally ignorant to how much the world has changed within a couple generations. "Houses are expensive!" is not a sign that the world has become an unlivable post-apocalyptic nightmare beyond reckoning.

                I'm a white male. Which reminds me, sex is also much better. Birth control options are more reliable and have fewer side effects, women are less afraid of being considered bawds, they're more willing to try kinkier things because they get ideas from the Internet instead of their four childhood friends from Anytown, USA, and I get to sample women from across the globe instead of just those within a couple hours' drive. Also, the only good porn back then was in the form of physical magazines or VHS tapes that you had to hide and rewind and whatever else, after usually having been bought in-person. Now I can watch anything I want at high resolution within seconds, and save it to an encrypted directory if I so choose, at no marginal cost.

      watch Silent hill No Escape
      some 17 year old kid made it alone ages ago (granted he used akira yamoka music and some textures from the original games) but it heavily moggs the actual SH movies by a lot.

    I would like to see something like Bad Lieutenant meets urban horror. A guy that's fricked up but knows that he can do better and tries to do so. Put him in a city that where everything sucks, there's nothing but abject misery and make him have the guilt trip of his fricking life. Throw some ghosts and monsters that are the remnants of people that died searching for salvation and whatever. Just bleak as frick. Not le nihilistic reddit bullshit, just disturbing things happening to a guy that's trying to make sense of what the frick is going on around him.
