All good.

Just know that if there’s a side chat for really engaging in movie and not getting lost in all the politics of everything, I’d love to be with that group.

I know I’ve had opinions and bouts with people left of me but I try to be respectful and just a lover of film.

Hell I’m the leader of the framed chat.

This board still needs solid posters. It's just frustrating how the poliboard spewed all over TD and inevitably ruined this one.

How do you feel about posters like Jay Are, Corinthians420, Fewer Kilometers, sorantable, etc

I’ve posted this before but if you could permanently ban people here with no chance of alters you’d only need to axe a dozen or so posters

Not advocating for that, but it’s true

Movies and TV used to both be better but people here were in denial that the quality was starting to get worse. Now it seems most people have accepted that the quality isn't what it used to be so the board is better in that sense.

I get that people want to just consume content and not worry about those who are making it. They want escapism without being lectured too. Which is all I have ever said. But some still want to cling to the illusion that everything is just as it always has been and there’s nothing different happening.

They want to believe that the only bad people are the crazy conservatives who are making up stuff just to hate things. Which is odd because so much of the very things we don’t like now we grew up and loved before current day.

And it’s even worse. Much of what we used to like was mocked and ridiculed. Until Hollywood decided they could make a quick buck and insert their agendas into popular franchises. Only then did it become “cool“ to those people.

And now look where we are.


* And to the DV, you're a witless troll or are truly ignorant. Multiple writers have overtly stated exactly that, that they HATE the source material which they now are ruining.

Witcher
Lord of the Rings
She-Hulk
Velma.. the list goes on.

I’m with you SEK, surprisingly. Our niche content has been hijacked for mass market appeal, and infused with extremist Hollywood agenda to make it palatable to the Hollywood writers, actors, directors, and executives who otherwise hate things like Star Wars, LOTR, etc

“Where’s the proof of that leaning/agenda?” - look at the SAG awards. Look at critics reviews/scores vs audience reviews/scores. You always see the difference in Hollywood vs mass market in the extremes on each side. Hollywood loves the weird little movies that are award bait. Mass market sees that they’re extreme niche garbage made to appeal to other extreme niche Hollywood elites

It didn’t take 3 posts from an OT talking about a RA Drizzt movie to some morons making all leftist and gay. Can’t even discuss.


You're wrong. It CAN be discussed but you refuse to accept that politics does indeed play a large role in how IPs like the Companions of the Hall get portrayed in movies/tv. How something is likely to be portrayed is a foundational element of such a discussion centering about the possibility of it happening. We have to look only at Rings of Power or Wheel of Time to see that this is absolutely the case and that it makes them less than what made them popular enough to warrant attention in the first place.

Ignoring it doesn't make it go away so don't blame those who mention it exists or show how it works, blame the industry that makes it happen in the first place.

Two factors here. First, Hollywood has gone out of its way to infect every aspect of the movie industry with their politics. Second, MAGA is just as bad.

But you have to discuss the actual content.

All forms of art throughout history have intended to convey a message. Intelligent conversation has often debated and discussed the underlying message and its merits/faults. In our current era, this is largely political messages in nature. Therefore, this board should allow political discussion when it is prompted by the content. However, you and I both want to see a higher level of civility in the discussion. I want all politics to be more civil and less blood thirsty. Who knows if we can get to that point.

The hardest truth of the matter is politics used to be private and only discussed in small groups behind closed doors. When we brought politics into the open, we brought chaos with it

I agree. I was bent, I willingly admitted it in the discord.

I’m like the Homer Simpson urge to kill rising gif from the Shinning Halloween special.

I do wish we didn’t get the same mind hive replies in each and every thread that doesn’t warrant it - yet.

I’d settle for the people who are hate watching shite to just stop dragging their arse in threads where people are just trying to legitimately discuss the show.

We get it, you (not OP obviously) hate the show. Why are you still watching multiple seasons in?

Hollywood should have cast Joseph Gordon Levitt in that one movie. This place has been falling apart ever since.

You are just as combative as posters like Kaiju, MadKing, et al

Y’all just shite up every thread with flaming

You can claim I’m part of that and a political board regular and that you’ve never heard of me or whatever you were going for yesterday but you know it’s true
