I think it would be better if we waited for these discussion posts to hit just as the movie releases. By the time it comes out this post will be over a week old.
Maybe if it’s something really big we could have prerelease discussion and then the released discussion.
🙇♂️
Right then, how about posting 24 hours before the movie premiere? How's that? Some people get really geeked about certain movies (or sewer-dwelling talking turtles and sensei rats, for that matter). Or do more than five people want it the day of the premiere? Let me know! We're still in trial phase here with the pinned Discussion Megapost thang.

I think for all movies the main discussion threads should open morning of release or maybe the day before.
For the super hot movies it would be good to do prerelease thread (1 week ahead), regular discussion (day of), and a post release thread (1-2 week after release).
Also, wanted to be sure I wasn’t being shitty with my comment. This is a great format and I’m loving that we’re getting good discussions like this going.
I think another cool idea would be to do a throw back Thursday thing where a thread is opened on old movies. They could be left open forever to recreate the old IMDb forum days.
We're good, amigo! 🫶 Thanks for the input!
I'd probably say on the release day at minimum, a lot of people have 'hide read posts' on and will never see this again.
What's a Mongoose to do?...
