Title: what makes a action movie feel like an action movie?
Post by: Scoops Novel on December 26, 2021, 08:34:15 pm: And not just generic violence?

Post by: Jopax on December 26, 2021, 08:44:24 pm: Ok, can you like, start some sort of Novel Scoops random questions megathread or something?

Because this shit is getting way out of hand

I'm not the one keeping my threads aloft, and i'm not filling up the whole board either. There's always somebody comlpaining about a question trying to be answered. It is not as easy as you think to get good discussion of a strange question.

Post by: martinuzz on December 27, 2021, 05:44:12 am: Would it be possible to make a single thread for your various questions and theses?

SO MUCH CLUTTER

Post by: Egan_BW on December 27, 2021, 10:26:55 am: Indeed, you could just use the random thoughts and small questions threads.

Nobody's keeping your threads aloft, you've got twelve of them on pages two and three.

Post by: TamerVirus on December 27, 2021, 10:42:42 am: This could have been discussed in the movie discussion thread: the thread for discussing movies

Tried doing that; gets buried in 3 posts, and i still wind up needing answers. The movies discussion thread isn't going to be any different. Focused discussion is advantageous.

The question is silly.

Post by: King Zultan on December 28, 2021, 02:18:24 am: What about a Novel Scoops random question thread, then the questions only get buried if you let them.

And not just generic violence?
action
(or specifically creative violence that is over the top and weightless enough that it can't be classified as drama)
