Why so many threads in movie talk being locked?
The cocaine and marijuana i could understand cause of talk of illegal substances but The Saw thread??? I didn't see anything lock worthy or offensive posts. There wasn't even an explanation as to why the threads were locked. Did a mod have a bad day or something?

It appeared to me that the Saw thread was created to "mock" the question asked in one of the closed threads you mentioned. I'm guessing a mod saw it the same way.

Re: Why so many threads in movie talk being locked?
My apologies for locking the threads without explanation. I was simply having a busy day and then forgot all about it.
I moved the threads because they belonged where I put them. I locked the Saw thread because it was obviously started to make fun of the other two, and I locked those bacause their purposes were served (questions asked, questions answered) and I:
1. Didn't want the discussion to devolve into yet another drugs thread
2. Saw that there would be more mocking and less discussion in the future of the thread.

I have opened the marijuana and cocaine threads, with the proviso that posters stay on topic and don't simply relate their own personal drug exploits.
