Member DrNgor Posted January 12, 2022 Member Share Posted January 12, 2022 I'm aware that post redirection has been going on for some time now. I think we first noticed it when old school film capsule reviews started showing up in the Korean Old School thread and most of the Brucesploitation capsule reviews were moved to the Brucesploitation review thread. I know this still happens: most of the mini-reviews people have posted since the arrival of their Arrow Shaw sets have been moved into individual movie threads. Sometimes someone posts their remarks about a recent film in the "What was the Last Modern Film..." and suddenly it shows up in the thread specific to said film. I realize that on occasion, I've even requested that some users' reviews be moved from the "Classic" thread to the "Modern" thread. So, how do all the non-Mod/Admin members feel about this? And Mods/Admins, do you think their should be a disclaimer that members should look for a movie-specific thread to post their thoughts before doing so in the "What was the Last..." thread? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way that disclaimer would be manageable would be to delete the 'What was the last....' threads. The threads are a blessing and a curse - they're at the top of the page so most members just click on them to enter their thoughts because they're easy to access, which is great. The downside is you may have more than one member discussing some interesting opinions about the same movie even within just a month of each other, but they'll be separated by 100+ other posts on different movies, with neither member having any awareness that someone else posted about the same thing. That means a lot of opportunities for further discussion are missed, and in many cases posts about movies in the 'What was the Last...' threads tend to remain there in isolation rather than doing exactly what a forum was set up to do - generate discussion. Also for both new and old members - if you want to look up opinions and discussion on a certain movie, it's more enjoyable to read them in a consolidated thread, rather than have one dedicated thread to read through, then countless one-off posts scattered throughout the 'What was the Last....' forums that needs to be clicked on one by one. So generally speaking if there's an existing dedicated thread about a movie, we'll always support continuing any discussion on that movie within the same thread and/or a more relevant one that's likely to generate further discussion over the 'What was the Last....' threads. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted January 13, 2022 Author Member Share Posted January 13, 2022 Speaking for myself, I've since become accustomed to it and generally try to post my thoughts in individual threads where possible. You'll notice I did so when I had my Scott Adkins kick near the end of last year. However, some users may not be so accustomed and newer users may be put off by their posts suddenly switching locations. Which is why I wanted to start a dialog about it here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DrNgor Posted February 2, 2022 Author Member Share Posted February 2, 2022 Okay, question for @SMK, @One Armed Boxer and the @Moderation Team: For capsule reviews of non-MA Japanese movies, where do you suggest we place them (assuming an individual movie thread doesn't exist)? We have the following options: 1. Japanese Movie Mini Reviews 2. Miscellaneous Japanese Cinema Thread 3. What is the last non martial arts Asian movie you've watched? This is based on an exchange I had with @Drunken Monk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always come with the tough questions Doc. It's a valid one though, so here's my hot take - for a capsule review of a non-MA Japanese movie, I'd place it in the Japanese Movie Mini Reviews thread located in the Martial Arts & Asian Movie Reviews section of the forum. Yes strictly speaking that whole sub-section of the forum is classed as Martial Arts Cinema, but sometimes a little nuance is required, so considering this particular forum encapsulates Ásian Movies as well, I'd say that one makes the most sense. The reason for de-selecting the other 2 - For the Miscellaneous Japanese Cinema thread we'll keep it as close to the original purpose as @Takuma states in his opening post. Sure we'll sometimes have reviews fall in there too, but as he mentions we can always split them out as and when needed. For the What is the last non-martial arts Asian movie you've watched thread, for this one we'll go with the logic that the fact that we have a dedicated Japanese review thread nullifies it. You'll still see some members take the title of the thread very literally, and simply post a movies name or an image of the movie and nothing more, so it's still relevant for those kinds of posts, but if you're actually expressing an opinion, I'd go with the Japanese Review thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member DrNgor Posted February 10, 2022 Author Member Share Posted February 10, 2022 Suggestion: Move the post below to the Mainland Kung Fu Movies thread in the Reader Review section. And maybe pin that thread to the top of Reader Review section, too. (to be considered) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted February 11, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2022 Agreed, but then I'd also have to commit myself to trawling the same thread for all the mini-reviews of the many iQiyi and Youku straight-to-streaming kung-fu flicks from the mainland. Something I'd be up for doing, but just.....give me a minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a discussion that's been had before, and we decided to keep all Bruceploitation related posts out of the Bruce Lee forum, and just have that section purely dedicated to topics on the man himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
