Quick Suggestion...

[rvl123]

How come we don't have a BST forum (Buy Sell Trade)?

and also

Since this site draws a crowd that seems to watch a lot of movies, shouldnt it be fitting that we have a forum dedicated to movie reviews?

Just some suggestions is all

I've given this some thought in the past, there are both PROs and CONs to doing a forum for people to buy stuff.

The Pros however are obvious.

1. No copied movie, this is clearly illegal, not to mention the ramifaction of selling a movie to someone that you just copied before selling.

2. If someone rips someone off there is no offical way via the board to get at them, it could very well turn into a giant flame war that follows specific users around just because there is really no other alternative for revenge, this would be very VERY bad.

3. Companies poseing as individuals trying to make a profit and get free ads via the board.


Personally I dont think its worth it, but then I'm not the only voice here and in the end its up to Baldrick.

Well, there can be an understanding between the buyer and the seller that the buyer owns the original but doesnt have the means or is too lazy to copy it.

Company ads have always been deleted and always should.

Anyways, how about that movie board?

A movie board would be sweet. Everyone tells whether they liked/hated a movie any why.

Terrible, terrible idea.
Oh yeah, I'm scroling through the many, many different movie posts and read one from tgpo that tells me why the ending to 'n' movie was shit.
Nice one tgpo, thanks pal!

My suggestion would be a PC / Windows / Linux / etc. section, or (what might be easier and more appropriate) finding such a site which specialises in that stuff and 'partnering' VCDHelp with it. I'm sure there would be enough posts to justify it.

X-Men 2?

I do like the movie board idea, maybe I can ruin others enjoyment of stupid movies.

Seriously I'm a very jaded movie goer... I weep for my days of loving every movie I saw.

I'm not sure what you mean man but it's a good example.
I had no idea if that movie was shit, I din't care for reviews but when I read on this very site a main character dies I didn't go see it.
Regardless of the fact that I still haven't seen it (okay, the bad press wore me down) I didn't want to spend two hours at the cinema wondering who was gonna frickin die.
Like I say, shit idea, but I appreciate we don't have to read it if we don't want to.

Ah-ha, I see.
You are referring to that particular thread, aren't you?
No, I wasn't thinking about that actually pal, I was speaking hypothetically.
It wasn't you that spoiled it if I remember correctly, it was some otherdumbass!
Like I say, good example though!

Movie Board is a good Idea

Movie Board is a good Idea

The Australian Forums got one "The Movie Lounge" and you can't see it unless a member and posted online at least 50 times.

Check out: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/

DVDRHelp.com should have one and name it as "The Movies".

This is an excellent idea and why don't we have a forum section named: "The Movies". Discussion on cinema and DVD releases would be great.

So, why not here.

[Will Hay]

As this idea seems to be gathering momentum can I please ask that where relevent the moderator's implement some form of facility to add the phrase 'spoiler', for those of us who want to participate but not know the ending to a movie?
I'd be quite keen to hear what people thought (before I see a movie) but jeesh, I don't want to know the end!
Will

[tgpo]

I second Will's idea. I hate going intoa movie knowing the ending. It ruins the movie for me.

We will need to add to the rules:

"If your message contains spoilers and you failed to mention them you will recieve a warning"

Movie reviews and/or recommendations about DVDs to be rented or purchased would be good as well -- there seem to be plenty about movies out in the theaters but some very good releases (like "The Day the Earth Caught Fire") which are old enough not to have current reviews available often get missed.

I even like Housepig's little tag (where he recommends five movies to rent -- and he changes these around from time to time). There are all kinds of gems out there that miss major releases, and as long as we keep this in good spirit (because movie tastes are *very* individual) it could be a lot of fun.

I also vote for a "guilty pleasures" thread -- those movies that really aren't good but we enjoy watching nonetheless (my first nomination -- "Godzilla", the remake with Matthew Broderick. The DVD is absolutely first class, and a great test of any system with a major subwoofer).
