I would be interested in the creation of a forum for serious discussion and debate surrounding various entertainments (music, movies, TV, etc.), perhaps under "Culture" or as a subforum of "Society". Threads related to those things seem to get moved to the Lounge (which isn't for serious debate) whenever the discussion isn't purely political in nature.
I'm thinking of something much more in depth than the kind of mild arguments over which genre or performing group is better, posting of people's favorite lyrics or movie quotes, etc. that we see in the Lounge. Something where we can debate the cinematic elements that go into making a movie good/bad, or the writing/production/instrumentation etc. that make a person love/hate a particular song or musical group, etc.
Something is in the works so keep a watch here for a possible announcement if things will come together as planned.No promises at this time since (to quote a cliche) the best laid plans of mice and men often come to naught. |

An additional thought....
To keep it from becoming another lounge, perhaps we should consider restricting access. Require people to have 100 posts minimum, make them request admission, and if possible make them affirm that they've read the posting rules for the forum before joining. |

look if something in entertainment makes news we have news and headlines. if its connected to politics we have p&g. everything goes to society or the lounge. enough of this forum separation. just because some of you get your undies in a bunch because some of us have a sense of humor in the lounge doesn't mean you can't discuss arts or entertainment there. what next a baseball forum so classically liberal and i can discuss the braves closer problems ad nauseum?
dumb
Sense of humour? Try outright mean-spiritedness. But that actually has nothing to do with this request.
And I would have no objection to a forum for serious sports debate. Wouldn't interest me particularly, but if it's what draws people, go for it.
I'm off the for weekend folks, so I'll check back either Sunday night or Monday morning. |

Why don't we restrict admittance to all the serious forums here then, and leave only the Lounge open to the general population....
:?
I don't think that's a very good idea at all. |

What if we had subforums of the Entertainment subforum? Sports would definitely fit into that. Just a thought. |

Yeah, I was just trying to think of ways to keep it from becoming another Lounge, but in the end I agree - it shouldn't be treated any differently than the other serious debate forums. |

Actually, I'd have no problem with them discussing it as part of the main Entertainment forum, as far as that goes - so long as they kept it to serious debate and not stuff like "Dude, did you see that awesome pass that Pittsburgh's QB made in the 3rd quarter?" |

Pretty sweet. Are you going to keep it separate or will it be seamless with PC in the future? |

Now the only question is where is the porn review section?
Those things aren't cheap and you want to make sure you get good recomendations for quality porn. :-D

i would say no because i don't believe it would get a lot of play. maybe an "other" or misc." forum where you could discuss anything that doesn't have its own forum with more seriousness than in the lounge.
it has been said before, but this is a political forum. if we have an arts forum, people for a sports forum are already talking, then you will have the car tuning forum, and so on. |
