Is this really the best movie board on the internet?
There's so little traffic. Even some pretty big named actors and films get very little posts.
shareIt’s the best I’ve found, I wouldn’t have set up camp here everyday for 4 or 5 years otherwise. We’ve got many knowledgeable movie and music fans and even some book talk here. You may bump into the occasional troll or otherwise unpleasant sort from time to time but it’s mostly a top notch crowd on General Discussion.
The specific movie and actor pages are unfortunately populated by a large number of goons that like to inject stupid U.S. politics into everything. Buzz words like woke, libtard, Trumpist, Demokkkrat, snowflake…Fuck me! I’m only here to comment on the new action movie I just watched and now I’m in a useless political argument..?
If you decide to stick around you’ll learn who the fun chatters are and who to avoid.
Best of luck.

sharenearly every post is something like "this movie is woke because it has *gasp* diversity in it (as if that's something new) or main characters that aren't white in a modern movie.
with that said, I do think social messaging/pandering is very much shoved in our faces all over the place so it drives people to the point of paranoia.
I grew up with a fairly diverse bunch of pals…lots of white kids, plenty of blacks, some Hispanics, an Asian kid, a couple of lesbians and gays, a Jewish guy… I’d say it builds character to get to know the ‘other sorts.’ We can all learn stuff from each other.
It certainly doesn’t hurt.
You keep an open mind and you find good friends in most places.
I have a very diverse family, so I'm used to it. Sure, I usually notice it in films but it doesn't bother me and I appreciate it. What people are exposed to can surely make them more close minded. a lot of users will judge something before they even see it. Plenty of times you can tell when something is going to be really bad, but that isn't always the case of course.
