re: Does it speak to this board's poor taste that The Walking Dead threads get so

I don't think it has anything to do with poor taste. It's just a broader topic with broader appeal than something like BE. Like Freauxzen, I don't have HBO either...if I did, I would've definitely checked out BE by now. Same with Game of Thrones as well.

Also, the topic of zombies and the zombie apocalypse is more of a cult-ish following, so people get passionate about it as a general subject, rather than discussing the show specifically. And like someone said, most show discussion is about the bad parts of it because it's easier to do that than praise something over and over.

Also, I've gotten lots of solid lesser-known movie suggestions from here, and most of them I've thoroughly enjoyed watching. I think there are definitely some good discussions about all different kinds of movies on here...and those discussions often lead to people picking up suggestions on things they normally wouldn't have known about.

I do agree that the threads about great older movies don't go as long as other threads, but there is still some decent discussion within them. Good example is my Casablanca thread.

Around that sasme time, I bought several classics that I had either not seen or hadn't seen in a long time. Still gotta watch those before I get THaHN.

Cool deal! You're defiantly becoming more of a classics fan. I think most people who think they don't like classic movies just haven't seen the right ones that fit their genre interest.

Damn grammar lapses
