Things Wrong with IMDB -

[WonderGirl]

IMDB is a good website, but sometimes it can be ridiculous and have inaccurate information, For Example They list Russian movies that are originally in black and white but colorized in other versions as color, It's the colorized version, It's just they didn't even add any details when editing the technical specs.
Sometimes, They don't even bother to add any film process in other films. if a film was in Technicolor or CinemaScope, They don't even add it in Technical specs section.
User reviews that are ridiculous or poorly written, Users censor words that aren't curse words on reviews like ''Piss'', ''Tits'' and ''Twerp'' or even ''Porn''.
Pictures that are in wrong category, or images that are flat-out misplaced, They are either made on accident or on purpose, or even made by a troll.
Fake movies and TV shows appear on the site for no reason, they even made by GoAnimate or Greeny Phantom users or Sockpuppet accounts.
A lot of Internet media appearing on the website when it doesn't belong there, For example, Online videos, Web series , Let's plays and even browser games appear on the website, Trust me they don't belong here, If you want to make a database on Internet media, do it, or If you want to make a database on New media along with Internet media, In which is new media, then do it! besides, Internet media only belongs on TVTropes.
One user lists episodes of web series as ''Internet TV show Episodes'' in which it makes no sense, Since web series are online videos made by Independent and amateur people. It's not a TV show, because TV shows are made by professionals.
Users having bad reviews on Good movies and Users having good reviews on bad or mediocre movies.
I wish this website can good contribution, Moderation and Quality control. because sometimes, The website feels like there's no moderation or Quality control whatsoever.

Thread is written like a IMDB user review.

Even if it's a user review on IMDB, It's not even good like the usual ones with good spelling.

They should've kept the message boards there, It is the most biggest mistake that they ever made.

What in the fuck did the stalker of all Kiwis mean by this

Moviechat is the best alternative to IMDb at the moment. I believe they still have forums on there as well, though just not as popular as the former.

It was, I'm still heart broken about that over 4 years later, first forum I ever registered for.

I can't believe I can no longer hop on a message board for any movie and reasonably expect a fair amount of discussion and the possibility of a reply if I post anything.

While the imdb message boards had plenty of trolls and dickheads I have tons of great memories of good discussions on there, it was a lot of fun and I'll always miss it.

I'm actually still in touch with a group of friends I met on imdb all the way back in 2006.

Trouble is any movie that's the least bit old or the least bit obscure the board is probably a complete ghost town you'll never get a reply to even if you do bother to post something.

Is it nice that someone archived all the old posts though so you can at least go back and read what people wrote, but it's dead as far as new discussions go in my experience (unless of course you're talking about only current releases I guess, but that was only a small part of imdb message board's appeal)

They removed the discussion boards on movies, actors and actresses! Those were great! Sometimes it actually had really useful discussion and information, not just slap-fights about the length of celebrities toes.

I learned a lot about Miracle Mile*(great movie) because 30 years after the movie was made the writer/director showed up and answered questions. He was amazed and psyched that people still liked and talked about the movie and their experiences watching it as a child, teen or adult, in the 80's, 90's and 00's. He asked questions, shared some stories, talked about the production, what he intended, casting, financing, dealing with the producer/distributor and I think there was a bit of John Carpenter but I might be confused. You could find stuff like that on old IMDB before they removed all of that to protect women.

*I think the Hotline Miami 2 devs watched it and had a "huh" moment.

Holy shit do you ever stop going on about how much better things were in the past? Can you name anything from the last five years that you've actually enjoyed, or are you seriously this much of a doomer in every fucking facet of your life?

There were so many bizarre people on there, they could have been lolcows had we knew more about them I guess.

All I said was I miss a message board that closed down, one that closed down in 2017 and I was still a frequent visitor up to that point, so this ain't even me waxing nostalgic just for the 2000s (though that was when I joined)

I'll name a few things I really like that I've experienced over the last 5 years, the video games the Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, the continuing videos of Red Letter Media, the movies Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of The Monsters and Avengers: Infinity War, YouTube channels like LGR, Defunctland and Yesterworld and websites like... Kiwifarms.

I will never not say when I miss something or point out when I think something has declined now versus then, if you don't like that then tough shit, get the fuck over it.

lol I'm not reading that

You responded to me directly and you asked me a question so I answered, but why are you reading my posts in the first place if you don't like what I have to say? By all means, don't waste your time.

Who said that I was reading your posts?

 

[Dom Cruise]

Who said that I was reading your posts?

You read that one just now, you read the other enough to accuse me of too much nostalgia, I've also seen you negrate me, although you're probably not actually reading them all, sure.

You're probably reading this one now though and if you've stopped reading by this point, then I guess you won't mind if I call you a fucking faggot.

@Dom Cruise, While I understand reminiscing about the past, I think it's better to move forward into the future instead of being nostalgic fag/tard, because it'll make you very unhappy that "things aren't like they used to be". Instead, you can enjoy stuff like PS2 games and a dead meme like Peanut butter jelly time, and not make it your entire personality.
