Where to go after IMDB shuts down? Top two movie forums:

Since the corporate tools are giving us the boot here I recommend two movie forums. Great forums but they lack a swift pace. If people here made the jump to these forum, they would be great. Both well respected forum that have been around for more than a decade with GOOD software.


First: I recommend the Steve Hoffman Forum Movie forum. Been around forever. Very knowledgable people. Good brisk pace. MANY members.

Second: I recommend the Criterion Collections forum. What can you say? One of the most respected names in cinema appreciation.

Hope this helps!

This is very constructive, thank you.

But is there a place for the me's of the world? Not intellectual or well versed in film theory or criticism, just kinda middle of the road? This was a nice spot for me

Damn. As the conversation gets more stupid (are we going to limit film discourse to under 140 characters now?), I might have to up my game.

Re: UPDATED: Where to go after IMDB shuts down? Top two movie forums:

Sounds good, but are these tv forums? I'm more interested in tv. I see Steve has "tv" in his url, but you're referencing movies.

I think I'll just stick for tumblr. At least there, I can blacklist.

I created a separate forum below just for members of this board.

Reddit has a huge userbase too and is a decent replacement.

Re: UPDATED: Where to go after IMDB shuts down? Top two movie forums:

Problem with these alternative sites popping up all over or even ones that have been around isthey will never have the individualized boards to the extent that IMDB has. So every show, movie, actor, even video games will not have their own individual board, not unless someone basically mirrors this site.

Re: UPDATED: Where to go after IMDB shuts down? Top two movie forums:

Yeah it's the individual boards that make this thing work. Without that, it's a mess. I'm devastated by this.

Re: UPDATED: Where to go after IMDB shuts down? Top two movie forums:

I just found Fan Forum http://www.fanforum.com

They have 2 sub-forums "TV Shows: Present" and TV Shows: Past". Under each sub form, there is a tread for each TV show. I'm guessing if a TV show isn't listed, you can probably get it added.
