| Suggestion: Movies Forum
Posted: 6/3/2007 10:14:56 PM | Movies are a good way to bring people together as far as chatting goes. I know I can spend hours just talking about movies and never even get bored. Any kind of movie really..horror, drama, romance, action, comedy, or scifi
What are your all time favorite movies? | |

Posted: 6/4/2007 1:30:39 PM | Funny, I just went looking for a movies forum, just thinking it would be cool to see what others had watched recently, or post something you had.
Like I watched a movie I rented the other night called Dejavu with the super hot awesome acting Denzel Washington!
Maybe it was just that I love him so much but I swear I thought it was a pretty good rental too ;) | |

Posted: 6/4/2007 6:50:39 PM | wow. before i've posted threads and they got nowhere but i see movies is a good topic. lol i work at blockbuster and i get to watch almost any movie i want for free. I also really want to see Evan Almighty. tonight i rented Music and Lyrics, Catch and Release, and UNKNOWN.
All were good. Well when you watch UNKNOWN just remember that at first..it makes you feel like you want to just turn it off. But i stuck with it and it turned out to be a decent movie.
I loved De'Javu as well. My uncle started me with so many different varities of movies at a very young age. He was gay and he opened me up to movies that other ppl would not watch. I'm not talking about gay porn..I am talking about movies like Soldier's Girl..which is about a young man that goes into the army, visits a lil club one night, and falls madly in love with a transvestite. I am not going to tell you the rest of the movie but i promise you it is a beautiful movie. Sure you can watch those movies that sugarcoat real life but sometimes...it's good to know what really happens in those circumstances. That is why those movies based on true stories are so....so captivating.  | |

Some of my faves? Please refer to my profile.  | |

(But I'd gladly settle for all movies) | |

Posted: 6/9/2007 2:21:57 AM | I must admit at the moment it is a bit confusing where to look for movies - should it be in Art/Music (which is where i think it should be at the moment) or Off-Topic (where there is a lot of movie topics)
Considering more people see movies than buy music I believe there is justification for a movie forum - and it is a great opening discussion for people | |

Posted: 11/22/2007 6:46:41 AM | While we can argue the merits of movies being "art", not all movies, such as the above, could be considered art - hence my preference is to see movie subjects in the off topic forum.
You could preface your subject with "MOVIE:" so it can be readily searched on.
Do not however, make a "what's your favourite movie type thread, as there is nothing to discuss or debate in list threads.

Posted: 11/22/2007 7:38:06 AM | So you're telling me that movies, art or not, should go in OFF Topic.
Seems like it could be so simple to create a forum dedicated to reviews.
I sure as hell didn't want my review of that movie to go in the Art forum.
And you don't want them discussed?
So it would go
MOVIE
review
title
plus minus how many times did I laugh out loud (3x in above movie)
BUT Blade Runner is playing. I think one more line of text to have a movie review forum would be .. awesome. | |

as it, in my opinion doesn't fit any other category - yep, Off Topic.

and one for pets, and one for crochet, one for cars, and one for this, that and the other - where does it stop?
I sure as hell didn't want my review of that movie to go in the Art forum. was it not too "high brow" a review? put it in humour if that's your slant.
And you don't want them discussed?
I don't think I said that ... I did say:
"Do not however, make a "what's your favourite movie type thread, as there is nothing to discuss or debate in list threads."
Eg. What's your top 5 horror movies? .etc...
So it would go ...
as long as the subject line can be searched on - it's really up to you. But the topic of the thread should have some discussion or debate potential.

Considering that movies are a major first date in probably 1 in 3... You are talking MILLIONS a week. There is a huge gap.
and one for pets
Do I need to walk your admin through his opportunities? Have you been to Yaletown?
and one for crochet
Been to the West End?
one for cars
You're not advertising cars???? wtf??
where does it stop?

No. But the company I work for is internationally recognized because... My hairy boss makes billions more than I do.

The Admin is fully aware of this Request, to possibly become a Section within a Category for Multimedias.
Movies are not generally posted in the Arts Forum Category, although it could be argued its Part of "The Arts". Perhaps a Play, Musical or something on that Order may be more suitable.
Point out to Admin the advertising opportunities.
Not in the Forums.
Let me see how long a movie thread started by me lasts.
Discussing Movies is Ok, your 'Favourite", "Most Detested", etc. are List-Type Questions and are not valid Discussion Topics.
This is the Help Section, make a non-redundant Thread in the Off-Topic Category.
Off Topic didn't generate any interest because...NO one goes there.
Best Place to make such a Thread for Discussion until the Admin decides to act on these Advices.
Has Marcus tried to figure out how to make this click with FaceBook.
 | "Facebook" is Forum, E-Mail and Profile Spam around here, but you could always e-mail him your Suggestions. |
