Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I said remakes, not sequels, and I said usually, not always. I have a few covers that I love - most notably, Frente's version of Bizarre Love Triangle - but most of the time, the original is the one and only for me.

Just a thought - Will there ever be another thread devoted to a single movie or filmmaker (other than Pirates)? M. Night seems worthy of his own topic, to be sure. (My own views on him are conflicted as can be.) This particular thread is amazing, but, pretty daunting if a month from now I want to find out what people were saying about Peter Weir a while back.

Well, yes, all you have to do is start one.

I kind of take this particular thread as a "what have you seen lately" sort, but I see Flippy's point - and I believe ISM had expressed similar concerns earlier. I'm not sure how you could control this as the nature of these boards sort of leaps about as our own unique synapse firings take us.

But for these ambiguous threads we could creat some caps (maximum post count) to keep them from getting too unwieldy - certainly many of the other boards do this. Granted our traffic is much more moderate, but perhaps this is ripe for discussion?

Thread Pudding?

Flippy, meet the Search feature. It's right under the word "Swag" at the top of your screen.

You can do that (MP's cap was for system performances reasons and "moving on" was a secondary hoped for benefit that never arose) but in my experience you'll just end up with Miscellaneous Movie Musings II.

But somewhere in there, some smart-aleck might title it Miscellaneous Movie Mushings.

I think we should discuss the fate of this thread. How about we start another thread about this thread? Ha ha. It matters not to me. I thought we needed a random thread about flicks. If we didn't we would have had about 50 threads about each individual movie...



I'm a sucker for dog movies. I just watched 'Eight Below'. I thought it was okay. Kinda slow in places. It's my very first Paul Walker movie. He's hot. The dogs were absolutely beautiful. I teared up a couple of times.

Oh yeah, I knew you wrote "remakes" and I meant "remakes" when the spirit of Lisa made me type "sequels." (actually I'm just unbelievablypostDisneylandbirthdayTired).




I'm gonna start an M. Night thread after Lady in the Water comes out. It won't be about one movie, but neither will it be about all movies. It will be a compromise thread.

Yeah, imagine my 'Eight Below' thread. It would have had one post in it by me, three lines at most... Most likely no replies. Then it would disappear. Like the movie did.
