In the threads I started I said "films" were okay. The term "feature" and "short" didn't come into play until 1927 so in all reality something like HUNCHBACK or PHANTOM couldn't be included because they weren't technically called or known as "features" yet. The breakdown simply happened when the Academy Awards started handing out naked gold men. So, if "shorts" weren't allowed then you have 23 years of movie making that wouldn't count because the first "feature" didn't happen until 1912 and there were under 10 of them. The rest were one, two or three reelers. FRANKENSTEIN (1910) is a movie just like THE GODFATHER is. Tom and Jerry were just as much a movie to what DANCES WITH WOLVES is. However, as I said, it should really be up to the thread starter. If there's a TV tracking list then, IMO, the tv shows should go there.

Yes, but I was only suggesting that you could also "copy" your newest reviews here too as you watch them; I didn't mean to say that you should do this "instead of" having them all contained within your list. I was thinking you could do both ("in addition to"), but whatever. If you don't care if not everyone bothers to go back and read 'em, that's fine. OM does make a good point about people with dial up. I've had high speed for so long I guess I've forgotten that not everyone does. I make a good point too when I say that, whether it's TV episode listings or movie title listings, 500 lines of type are still 500 lines of type, and that takes just as much time to scroll down with dial up. In fact, Cromwell, your VERY lengthy main review listing -- while enjoyable -- almost certainly takes the absolute longest to bypass with dial up, if that's what's such a big issue around here! I love the ones I've read, but I'm just saying, yours is the longest to scroll past. Mine was relatively short, even with the TV eps. But ANYWAY -- I've gone back and deleted my TV shows because it makes Omega Man annoyed. . But I am leaving film shorts, film serial chapters, and film cartoons. No matter who starts the thread each year. ---------------------- "It's MORE ... than a hobby!" Last Edited By: Joe Karlosi 07/31/08 4:47 PM. Edited 5 times.

I think I may have been the one who started this routine a couple of years ago (on this board I mean). Since that time, it's always simply been a matter of which member just happens to get here early enough to get the ball rolling each year. In the threads I started I said "films" were okay. Well, then I 've got a lot of 8mm family home movies recorded "on film". Some TV shows were made "on film". ---------------------- "It's MORE ... than a hobby!"

And it was a fair suggestion Joe, I wasn't blowing it off. I'm not going to do it because I'm just too lazy. Plus, posting my reviews twice would just take up more space (which I believe was one of the concerns of Omega Man). OM does make a good point about people with dial up.

I love the ones I've read, but I'm just saying, yours is the longest to scroll past. Mine was relatively short, even with the TV eps. LOL!! Yeah, I know. Guilty as charged. What can I say, I just have too much free time on my hands and have averaged about 3 films a day. But ANYWAY -- I've gone back and deleted my TV shows because it makes people annoyed. Who needs more bull. But I am leaving film shorts, film serial chapters, and film cartoons. No matter who starts the thread each year. Next year we can lay down the ground rules before hand to hopefully everyone's satisfaction. Cromwell

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me the difference between listing 500 titles which are all movies, or 250-movies, 250 TV episode titles? All takes the same amount of time to scroll past. What's it to anyone? I'll tell you one thing - at least this thread has finally been having some "discussion" here for a change. ---------------------- "It's MORE ... than a hobby!"

(07/17/08 6:41 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	How about 250 motion pictures and 500 TV episodes... in a thread supposedly devoted to film (i.e., movies)? There's been a thread in the "TV Terrors" folder called Track the TV Shows You Watch* for almost as long as this one has existed. Q: If there's a thread entitled Track the Pre-1960 Horror Films You Watch, should I go there to post all the MST3K or Venture Bros. episodes I've screened, or the James Bond movies? Just askin'... Now, I didn't intend to touch off a fracas (even a mild one such as this), although I admit the snarky nature of my post wasn't exactly helpful. * Which would otherwise be just 250 movies.

I've seen the first two when the first came out, but not the others. Wow, how have you survived all of these years? I must have watched the first 3 hundreds of times in the last 20 years. But I've only tortured myself with the 4th film 3 times, why oh why oh why? Last Edited By: Hamicus Helen 07/17/08 3:18 PM. Edited 2 times.

Guess who started BOTH track threads (for MOVIES and TV) on the CHFB when they were introduced for the first time (whatever year it was)? Me... that's who. And then I decided I liked it better having all my stuff together. It doesn't hurt anybody, and as I told you, it takes less time scrolling past all my stuff -- even including TV shows -- than most others'. So what's the difference? If it's just some sort of anal thing you have that "they're technically not supposed to be there", I think you're worrying way too much about it, and it's really YOUR problem. Now, I didn't intend to touch off a fracas (even a mild one such as this), although I admit the snarky nature of my post wasn't exactly helpful. It was your "too bad" remark that started me going. You're the only person who ever said anything about people including TV shows. But as I said, this thread is turning out all wrong anyway. The one over at Home Theater Forum is 40+ pages long already, with a lot of film talk. I basically only use this one as my backup, in case something ever happens to my main list over at HTF. That's why sometimes you may notice that my list here does not even get updated for weeks sometimes. Once in a blue moon, I'll copy/paste the latest 12 movies from the HTF here, when I remember. I'll tell you -- I'm tempted to go right ahead and list my TV episodes here anyway. What're ya gonna do? ---------------------- "It's MORE ... than a hobby!"

I haven't been buying too many Euro titles lately and held off on buying this one until seeing those shots last night. Now those picture's reminds me that there must be an almighty out there.

It's too bad about the transfer but I guess it's better than nothing. I usually just watch those type of films (be it Franco, D'Amato or the Schoolgirl Report films) once so the transfer issue isn't going to bother me too much.

(07/19/08 3:40 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	Wow didn't even know this discussion was going on. The only tv shows I list are MST3K and Doctor Who. I think MST3K is an on the fence thing. After all, you're talking about films with this show...films that are made fun of, yeah, but at the heart of the wrap-arounds and the silhouetted robots they are still movies. Some of the films shown, I've never seen outside of MST3K. To me, it's no different than watching a DVD with a commentary track on. If Joe Bob Briggs' Monstervision shows were still running on TNT, would those be off-limits too? I count Doctor Who primarily because these are, for the most part, serialized stories that usually run between 90 minutes and over 3 hours, depending on the serial. I don't look at them any differently than watching a serial like the Crimson Ghost or Phantom Creeps. Or are those off-limits too, now? Where do you draw the line? Films that were only theatrical features? How about tv-movies? Direct-to-video? What about programs like Columbo? Columbo was a tv series, but it was a tv series marketed as a movie series (ABC Mystery Movie, right)? And, some of those Columbos were shown theatrically abroad. To me, if someone wants to put short subjects, tv shows, cartoons, serials, or cooking shows from Food Network on his/her list, that's fine with me. I've never had any "loading" issues because someone decided to list the Wild Wild West programs he watched. And, if this is just a "tracking" thread, then what are reviews doing here? What do they have to do with tracking? Will next year's thread be called "track and review the films you watch?" I've done a couple of these mini-review things, but if we're going to start being a stickler on what is and isn't allowed in our personal lists, it's going to get sticky, I think. Just my two, for what it's worth. Besides, isn't everything we watch "filmed?" If you want to get pedantic "The important question is not, are there aliens on other worlds? No. The important question is, do they have ray guns?" Last Edited By: capmonte 07/19/08 3:47 AM. Edited 1 times.
