Directed by: NMN Starring: Film Dump Moderators Stop with the discussing of the myriad points of your favourite / most hated move in TFD. If you want to discuss how Gandalf's beard was all CGI or how Goku Vs. Pikachu was expertly animated, make a thread about it in GBS. Don't do it in here. I've worn the print off my Edit button getting rid of 'OMG I agree', 'But what did you think of this bit? I thought...' and 'No, that's wrong; here's what...' posts. Any post that has opinions on the film in question as well as quoted comments on previous posts, I've left alone; I'd have to edit about 70% of the posts in the Film Dump if I did. Stop. RATING: 5.5 PROS: Hilarious Edits CONS: Wears out the Edit button ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Actually, I'll leave this open so people who don't get that discussion != review can whine that I edited their posts...

I know where you're going with all this but sometimes its hard NOT to discuss the movie. I know that each thread is simply supposed to be a list of movie reviews and nothing more, but its a film forum and people want to discuss their films. We'll all get used to it sooner or later though.

Maybe the quote button should be removed so that people don't have that immediate ability to just take what someone else said and reply directly to it.

quote:StupidFatHobbit came out of the closet to say: Which is exactly why GBS Exists. I thought that NoneMoreNegative made that clear. If you want to discuss what you thought of a film, click GBS, click post and title it "Hae guys I just saw Pulp Fiction lets talk about the Royal With Cheese scene" From what I understand, the good types of responses are adding your own little review and what you did/did not like about it, but don't start arguing with people about it because this isn't what this forum is about.

I agree, but also, can you just delete the posts? Some threads having five or so "READ THE RULES" isn't that great either, but I don't know if mods have the power to delete posts or just edit them. Also, I don't know if you need to edit everything you're choosing to edit. I am not sure, because once a post is edited, I can't see what the infraction was anymore, so I may be wrong. But I know I had one of my posts edited where I said, "A lot of people gave this movie a 1 but didn't post anything, anyone care to say why they did not like this movie?" You changed it to READ THE RULES but basically, that's exactly what I was responding to, one of isnoop's rules: "If you vote an extreme high or low or you vote against the general concensus, be prepared to give at least a little insight into your decision."

quote:StupidFatHobbit came out of the closet to say: But basically, I think, the main thing to consider isn't so much what other people are pointing out but: Do you recommend this movie? With recent releases, if you come here and post, there doesn't seem much point in also discussing it in GBS. But that will happen. Van Helsing, no. Troy, Stepford Wives maybe. Spider-Man 2, more than likely. quote:Fast Luck came out of the closet to say: 1 - not worth talking about. 5 - let it speak for itself. It's really the 2.0's to 4.0's that deserve some comments.

quote:Binary Logic came out of the closet to say: I disagree. In the Spaceballs thread, there is a single vote for 1. No explanation. First, how the gently caress can you HATE this movie? Nevermind, that's not important in this thread. However, it IS important in THAT thread. I'd really like to know what kind of freak hates Spaceballs that much, so I can avoid him at all costs. Probably eats babies. It'd be nice if you couldn't vote the extremes unless you posted why, but that's probably impossible.

How can this forum work if you basically aren't allowed to acknowledge anyone elses posts about the same movie. This is still a forum, and it's always going to happen, you'll give yourself an aneurysm trying to stop it. What are people supposed to do if they really want to know why somebody said whatever it is they did in a review? take it to gbs? I realize it will be messy with people discussing the movie, but trying to police people to not discuss on a messageboard will be quite a feat, even here

quote:NoneMoreNegative came out of the closet to say: To be fair, all of those posts up to my last one were made before it was even asked/clarified that this forum was to be for reviews ONLY and no discussion in the suggestion thread. And I was basing it off isnoop's rules post, which has quote:This forum is all about goon-written movie reviews and discussions thereof. As the second line, and should probably be edited to reflect that that's not accurate any more.

A great idea, but stale execution with cliched and the same old characters. 1/5

quote:Kruller came out of the closet to say: quote:Fast Luck came out of the closet to say: OTOH, you might be right that people voting 1 didn't even see that movie. I absolutely hated Zoolander, and wouldn't even bother to look for a thread on that piece of crap, let alone go out of my way to place a vote. My question though is, can we reference other movies in a discussion. For example, are we allowed to say something like, "Forget Mean Girls, go rent Jawbreakers instead". Or the flip side of that, 'if you liked Jawbreakers, go see Mean Girls' ? Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 21:26 on May 9, 2004 |

Isn't 'discussion' sort of part of reviews? I mean there's a line when it's too much but saying some comments is hard not to do and not very annoying anyway.

If discussions are to happen in GBS, just make sure to let everyone there know about it, too, otherwise every movie thread there will be littered with dozens of "there is a forum for movies, close thread" replies.

Maybe there should be a separate discussion thread for each film. Discussion in one, reviews in the other. That way if you want to talk about someone's review you post a quote of it in the discussion thread.

Hey, just wondering, if you throw a random vote way off the marker, is hell to be paid? It's so tempting to put a 5.5 on House of the Dead

Why not make a subforum that automatically creates a new thread based on a review that is posted, linked directly below the review? Here's a rudimentary example of what I'm talking about.quote:Title: Armadeggon I don't know what the feasability of a concept like this is, but given the amount of hacking that's already been performed on this forum, I don't think it would be a big problem. This way, The Film Dump is for reviews exclusively, and Unnamed Subforum is for Discussion of said movies\reviews. Then again, this might also be totally redundant, in which case ignore my suggestion and never speak of it again.

I really don't understand why discussion of a film is so terrible. Not many non-recent films get talked about in GBS.

I like seeing the discussions alongside the reviews. Maybe there should be a way to flag your post as a review when posting? The posts marked as reviews could go at the top of the thread so they are the first thing you see; any discussion posts could still be there but after all the reviews.

Just a quick question and this seemed like the most applicable place. If we want to review a DVD, meaning, the extras, cut scenes, etc... should we start a new thread reviewing the dvd as a whole or just mention it in the film for the movie (if one exists)?

GBS really isn't a great place to discuss films really. Most people end up posting crap image macros and making the typical funny stuff, which isnt bad, but its not movie discussion. Most people posting here want to discuss in a manner that weeds out the pot shots and goofy one liners that exist in most GBS movie threads. In short, we need a serious movie discussion forum.

Are comments on factual errors in a review permitted? Again, it's a factual error and not anything subjective that would lead to discussion.
