The marijuana thread has been closed as well. I think your name says it all.

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.

I still don't get why my original thread was locked. I was, sort of, kind of, being serious... oh well.

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.

Where can I relate my own personal drug exploits? My therapist is tired of hearing about them.

Meh, didn't mind my Saw thread being closed. The other two threads were simply beyond stupid. My thread served its purpose.
