I think it was a lovely and ambitious idea to make your LJ a place where people would gather to talk about movies or books. And I don't think 'you' failed. It's not your own fault.
Simply people don't necessarily see the same movie at the same time or read the same book. Or they don't have something interesting to say about it , or they don't dare saying anything because they believe their opinions aren't worth sharing.

I don't know why some posts generate a great number of comments , and others just a few or none. I have no explanation .. There are some Big names that always draw people to them , of course , but otherwise we 're all in the same boat.

I entirely agree with what rahirah said to you. Lj is beyond anything else a place where you talk freely of what takes your fancy. People will read or not , will comment or not , but in the end that's not really the point. I mean when it's not about fic or artworks , or meta!

So you should stay that way : share your thoughts , give your impressions of movies or books you enjoyed , and don't care who will answer.
You know I think we're always read by others , but commenting is another matter.

Cette année , je n'ai même pas suivi le festival de cannes. je suis incapable de te citer un seul film en compétition ( à part da Vinci Code) .. Je ne vais plus au cinéma , je ne regarde aucune série à la télé (ni rien en général ) , je lis et j'écris toute la sainte journée , coupée du monde.

Allez , j'espère que tu verras les choses plus positivement demain. Mais tu devrais poster quand çà te chante , et ne pas te forcer , cela est sûr.

je t'embrasse.
