:)  I gave that one a 30 post bump today by merging in a discussion from the Filmspot Nominations thread.

I had some really great polls about Oscar nominated documentaries...

They were just really misunderstood

i like the idea of this thread :)

cruising the boards for threads i've started i'm a bit saddened that i didn't start many discussion threads :(  two i did notice:

Se7en - roughly on violence in film and the question of ethical obligation of creatives.  i think there is room for more discussion here, it was obviously bogged down a bit by it being pinned to the titular film

Garden State - more of a monologue than a discussion, but i still like this thread and occasionally think of returning to the project (and hopefully having more folks join in on the analysis)

some favorite non-discussion threads i like:
Q&A: Performers
movie dictator club (including multiple installments)
This or That?
Love
1990s US Bracket
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams. 
                        - Iris Barry from "The Public's Pleasure" (1926)

Nice, I hadn't seen the Q&A thread.

For all the times I disagree with you, the MDC was a wonderful idea.
