Perhaps to get better discussions, we need better question.

everything starts from a simple seed ...
it just depends on how the origional topic is handled.
I stress my point re. the 'that sucked' 'it's gay'.
immature postings that drag any thread into the shitter.
if 90% of the responses are crap like that - then that overwhealms any points a decent poster may make .. and negates a good 2-3-4 whatever-way conversation.
humor is a good thing .. nothing wrong with having fun....
but i think that time and time again we see the reality here is that there simply arent as many people interested in discussing film as there are people who only come to life when there is some kind of conflict going on.
it kills me how people bitched about the new rules .. and how quiet things are as a result. it put a spotlight on the real reason most of the people actually came here .. to start shit, or join in on it.
that leaves us with a very small number of regular posters in the movie discussion forums. very small.
