Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

S. Darko
A sequel to Donnie Darko. Really not sure how I feel about it, but my gut isn't to keen on it. I'll give it a chance.

Re: S. Darko
Think I'll give it a wide berth.

Although I did like this cast listing: Savannah Ostler ... Barfing Girl

Re: S. Darko


It looks pretty bad. Apparently Richard Kelly isn't happy that it is being made.

Re: S. Darko
I don't blame him.

Really, it feels like it's been cheapened.

Just like The Butterfly Effect, now on to number 3.
And Mimic.
And Hellraiser.
And unfortunately the Saw 'franchise'.
And pretty much every Disney 'sequeled' movie.

The business end of movie making trumping artistic taste.

But again, I'll give it a chance and rent it when it comes out direct to video *never a good sign*

I gave Lost Boys The Tribe a chance. I didn't hate it. *High praise, huh?*

Has ever been thus.

I'll rent it as a weekly I think. Hated the idea since I first heard of it. It isn't looking good... who cares about Samantha anyway?

Re: S. Darko
I will definately see this film, but I do not have high hopes for it. Donnie Darko is such a beautiful film, there is no need for a sequel of any description as no one will ever be able to recreate that world and feel - probably not even Kelly himself would be able to do it now. Why can't they just leave Donnie Darko alone, not make a movie about his, frankly, annoying sister?!
I'm comitted to Sparkle Motion... but not this much :P

Re: S. Darko
I love "Donnie Darko" and my first instinct was, "Screw that movie. How can you have a sequel when Donnie died?!" Now I'll probably see it just because Jackson Rathbone is in it.

Re: S. Darko
~sigh~
I impulse bought S. Darko today. I watched it. I looked for clarification about it on imdb threads.

My conclusion, I feel justified for shouting a curse at my tv after watching it.

I am depressed by it.

If you feel the need to see it, don't buy it. I am ashamed for buying it.
