I'd like to see a more accurate rating system... one with half ratings perhaps. The ability to sort by stars and by directors perhaps (although IMDB does that already so nix that idea). Sorting by genre is kind of important though.

Actually, now that I think of it, I'd really like to sort by the country a film comes from. I'm really digging all the smaller foreign films people are reporting on... so the option to tell what country it comes from would help me sort out what movies I'd like to see.

OH yeah, and if the thread gets too many votes you cant see who voted what any more... it just flickers (at least in IE). COuld there be a better way of executing that idea? Maybe a way we can see what specific goons voted all across the board, to follow voting history if you happen to like their taste.

There really needs to be a way to sort the movies by year. Year should be a field that you can enter just because I have a hard time finding recent films I haven't heard of, and now that this forum is growing exponentially I think we should have a few more sortable features.

As hilarious as single lines quoted from the movies may be while swilling Bud Ice with your buddies in the basement on a Saturday night, don't do it in this forum.
If you have something useful to add to the movie thread, go ahead; don't post for the sake of it.

it's a movie REVIEW forum, not a movie DISCUSSION forum. As it has already been stated, if you want to discuss the movie, then do it in GBS. We want this forum to be a useful tool for people debating if they should see a movie or not, and discussing a film simply means that you'll be giving away a lot of plot points and will ruin the film for the people reading the review.


Discussions go in GBS. Why is this hard to understand?

Yo, can we just have it so that when some goon types [spoiler][/spoiler] it just deletes the text in between. I mean, there is no reason to have spoilers in the reviews anyways right? Maybe this is unnecessary coding and should be enforced by deletion of post, but that seems to take up even more time.

I'm just saying there shouldn't be spoilers in The Film Dump

edit: also I think votes that have a 5.5 rating or a .5 rating should require a post in the thread in order to explain why it was the VERY BEST MOVIE EVER or why it was OMG THE WORST MOVIE IVE EVER SEEN. A lot of movies are getting 5.5's or .5's just to raise or lower the overall score even when I highly doubt they are the most atrocious things ever... well, with the exception of battlefield earth.

Also, why is there a film noir genre... what other kind of genre would it be?

Music-noir?

That's a pretty petty request

You're not following me at all. In fact you've contradicted yourself. For example, there is a reason that Drama isn't called Film Drama, and comedy not called Film Comedy, hense why do we call Noir "Film Noir." It simply makes no sense on a movie review board because it's redundant.

But it's nice to be accused of trolling. That's pretty classy.
