Movie review threads ~ Can we eliminate non-review related posts?
I was looking at the Transformers thread, and others, and it seems like there are too many posts that are not reviews or comments about reviews.
For example, on the first page of the Transformers thread there is "can't wait"..."I hate Bay"..."I haven't seen this yet"..."I'm seeing it tomorrow, I'll make a new post then"...
They're just really annoying to have to skip through. The review threads should be about actual reviews or comments about reviews.

Makes sense.
Although, to be honest, you could make a similar point about many other threads. There's always the posts that are not really needed and you have to 'pick through' them to find things you're looking for.

I typically don't like NatrlBornThrllr's posts, but I'll give this one a chance.

^^^ That about sums it up. Really, does it bug you that much to scroll down with the mouse? I don't think it's the end of the world or anything. Just sayin' thats all.

Every one of your posts in the FG movie thread is a threadcrap.
All I'm saying is that if we as a forum want to minimize such OT postings in these types of threads we all need to start at home and set the example.

Ehhh... Doesn't bother me. I think big movies should always have two threads. One for up-and-coming rumors, trailers, etc. The other for reviews & discussion. Nothing I hate more than seeing them combined and having to go through 5 pages before people have actually seen the movie.
Obviously a lot of movies don't need this, but big ones do.

2) That was not a review thread it was about the possibility of a movie being made. No different than someone in the Sarah Connor Chronicle thead saying, "Ugh, this looks bad."

And why just have a reviews thread? Call it a reviews/discussion thread and that solves the issue there. We certainly don't need two new threads for new movies...one to give reviews and one to discuss other aspects of it.
