| TV/Movie review and discussion forum
Reference a previous thread:
»Movie review and discussion forum
Might I once again suggest the thread above as case for having such a forum! A thread on the suggestion was sidetracked into actual discussion about movies before ever actually finalizing the original question!
Sometimes you simply can't beat human input and suggestions on what is or isn't good. If you post these topics in the Pub or Watercooler, you're likely to get a lot of "(That show/movie) sucked" with no valuable feedback.
Personally, I would hope to utilize such a forum for not only offering my opinion on films/shows I watch, but getting suggestions on similarly themed films/shows I may enjoy.
A forum set up for TV and movie critique could be bound by a different set of rules so as to allow intelligent discussion that members can look forward to accessing, while prohibiting the juvenile commentary that often accompanies such threads in the above-mentioned forums. |

*sign* if music can also be included.

Would there be a way to keep a tally score on each movie discussed or a rating of 1-5 stars as a quick reference.
With enough input this (movie) forum might be a valuable source of information on a google search. And not to mention add a few more members to the site!

As one who spends many hours daily using the klunky message boards at imdb.com, I would find this a pleasant change to discuss entertainment topics on the superior message board format here. |

And what's more...
*signage*
Maybe I could start a thread or two discussing clean movies I can watch with the kids. I am beyond sick of the film idiots who HAVE to stick in just ONE cuss word, innuendo or flesh flash in what was an otherwise great movie.
The movie guys responsible for that have serious psychological issues. That they lawsuit-pile the companies who clean up their filth ridden DVDs for familes because it violates their 'artistic liberty', confirms it.
They need a beating, counseling and then another beating.

As long as you include movies from all eras for review, such as Red River, Classics, like the 1933 uncensored edition of Cleopatra and so forth. |

If the idea of a BOOK discussion thread was POO POO'D, why should there be a movie review thread? |

said by Maccawolf :OBJECT If the idea of a BOOK discussion thread was POO POO'D, why should there be a movie review thread? Hmmm. My guess is that it's probable that far more people have seen a given movie than have read a particular book. Popular culture being popular and all and, I'm guessing, audience participation (size) being relevant.

One day President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the war should be called. I said at once "The Unnecessary War". Sir W. Churchill, Second World War, 1948 |

I'm going to guess that keeping the juvenile commentary under control will require constant monitoring. That'll keep moderatorS busy. It'll also result in moderator bashing by some of those whose comments are removed.

Or something like that. Letting each age group post as they see it. We are guaranteed to get different reactions to Guarding Tess or The Transformers.
