i think what's sadder is how few and far between great movies, truly great movies, like LiT come out, and when they do, people still don't even appreciate them. Makes me appreciate the movie more and more every time i read a post by those morons in IMDB (there not all morons tho...) Also, i don't think someone is a moron just because they don't like the movie...but its just that soo many people say "it's boring. nothing ever happens" and that's just not true. Just because theres no explosions, graphic sex scenes, or excessive cursing doesn't mean nothing happens.

It wasnt a sweeping statement..of course I dont think they are all morons..but the ones that rant on and on ..You just read hate and irrationality in the posts..Thats why I stopped reading imdb user posts..I d rather go where the feelings are understood rather than attacked.

yeah IMDB is almost too big. It's come to the point where some of the previous topics are repeated. I mean there must be at least 5 or 6 posts about the last whisper in the movie. Theres tons of soudntrack questions and anti-LiT posts as well. It's boring. FAN sites are so much better...people can say things without being attacked and usually its not too big so posts are not repeated like they are at IMDB. IMDB offers some good stuff too though...
to be fair though, there are some interesting threads on the IMDB board (even if some are repeated over and over...) For example, i think the first place i saw the "alternative setting and actors" thread was at the IMDB board. I think it is a very interesting topic, and those users have some good alternatives....

It's too bad the few interesting pro-LiT people at IMDB don't come here.. it would almost be dangerous to post a link on IMDB... we don't want this place overflowing with anti-LiTers. Oh well hopefully fate will guide them here..
I'd rather be a gear in a big, deterministic, physical machine than just some random swerving.

Actually I have posted this site numberous times on the IMDB board especially when it was first started to help spread the word.Just Like Honey... wrote:It's too bad the few interesting pro-LiT people at IMDB don't come here.. it would almost be dangerous to post a link on IMDB... we don't want this place overflowing with anti-LiTers.

I thought a few people over there who liked the movie found this place thru that.
I don't think the haters will come here because misery loves company and there is no misery here!
Just a warning - there are a couple of people over there that are not only highly critical of the movie itself but also of the people who like it. That's an overgeneralization - but there is a very blunt and negative reaction to younger people who like the movie; and I see there are many people on this board who fall in that age group.
I don't mind it because I realize my interest in the movie relates directly to personal reasons - not thinking of the film critically. (Plus I don't fall in that age group).
But this person gets very engaged in discussions and enjoys challenging opinions; which is not wrong if done in a separate thread but it tended to in effect hijack threads, switch the topic and discourage people from posting.
