What is the last movie you watched and what did you think?
I watched Robin Hood today, the 1973 animated Disney feature version and I really liked it.I've seen it many times before as a kid, but on this rewatch it was still great!How can you not like Disney's... still looks a bit like a review. Perhaps this is a difficult one for you, but you'll need to study how other people post these things and improve your style. I was feeling like replying until you started making some statements that felt like they weren't really engaging with me or other people. read conversation threads and see how people respond to each other. for example, inightmares spoke to you and you haven't acknowledged him. This comes across as rude. I have some thoughts about this film, but after reading your post I don't really feel like sharing because I didn't get the impression that you want to know what I think.

How can you not like Disney's Robin Hood? I'll admit it Isn't a Disney classic in pushing the artform of animation or even screenwriting but it is good Disney fun, it's a perfect adaptation for what you'd think Disney would do with Robin Hood in animation. Robin's not some guy, he's a fox! The sheriff isn't some big old mean scoundrel fellow, he's a wolf, I think the film perfectly captures Disney charm and still has some great humor and fun sequences. Particularly the fight during the arrow tournament is a lot of fun. Yes the film is cheap and that should be noted, that's quite shameful, but still I enjoyed it and I always have. What do you all think? I'd give it honestly a 7/10

Im confused what I did wrong? This is a last movie you watched forum? and I thought like fe.org we'd post the film we watched and then talk if prompted by other members? Your reviews are not discussions, they're blog posts. When you do it across multiple websites it doesn't seem like you wanna chat. You've been doing this for a long, long time, just dropping reviews with no conversational element.

reworked topic and reply systems for stability
I've worked on this a bit more, improving the handling of topics with more than 20 replies. I have enabled pagination, so you can go to page 2 or 3 or 4, etc. I've also had to take a fresh approach to the individual post queries so that the page loads the right topic AND goes to the right post. I was uncomfortable with redirects, so I've made the server check for the right page, then include a small script that moves to the right post. This gives a clean URL and ensures you end up on the right page in cases of deleted posts moving some posts onto a different page. That means https://fanworx.org/topic?id=77&post=272 should reliably go to this topic and this post, no matter what. This feels like a very stable approach.

Movie News
We don't have a movies and TV forum, so ideally we need to focus on this being movie news and have a separate topic for tv news. Edit: or if you like, you can make two new topics and I cna delete this one, because I don't think I've made an edit topic title function yet.

I'm confused slightly I guess I'm used to the fe.org system, but ok. I also made a movie news forum just now, which I tried to spark engagement along with my news. :}

I think it's about the way you posted it. It's copy and paste reviews. That don't feel like they are conversational, giving people the feeling that they can reply and talk about it. Think about whether your post is inviting a response from other people. for example, right now, we are talking. This is what a forum is meant to be for, a back and forth. But if your posts aren't inviting a back and forth, then it might not be appropriate for within a forum. It's not necessarily about 'doing wrong', it's about how it effects the potential conversation.

It's true that this topic was not intended as a review topic. Topics are meant for discussion so unless a reply is prompting discussion it does end up being spam. Prism I know you are not intending to spam people so perhaps it's better not to post your reviews here. Replies should take the form of replies to what somebody else said. Perhaps I should work on creating the franchise/movie/show section so you can review them. That would be the appropriate place. Edit: oh! And I can prevent double posts in the forum functions. That would be very straight forward... But do we want to prevent double posting strictly, across the board...

Why do you post the exact same message across multiple forums, where 99.9% of the time no one responds? Why do you do it? Why not pick one instead of spamming multiple? It feels disingenuous, especially with most people not saying anything. Why not go edit a film? If I saw you double, triple, posting I'd make you stop and choose, or leave. The forums aren't meant to be your dumping grounds.

An American Tail (1986) Watching this film I sort of had higher expectations, it's a film I know was infamous for it's message about immigration and it's Jewish undertones for the mice, and I think that is a really cool aspect. I like when kids films have deeper meanings or important details, and this has that. Otherwise though, it's sub-par. The film basically lives on inconveniences of Fivel and his family missing each other every time they are close to one another and it feels too episodic. It also didn't feel idk as grand or as big as Nimh which isn't exactly bad, but that film is like an 11/10 and this at worst is like a 6-8 for me out of 10. Even the darker moments and message felt underdeveloped, like this film was too kiddish for it's own good. I didn't love it or hate it, it was just fine, a bit boring in some parts honestly. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ /⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I think it's that sense of family that was brought up a few weeks ago. As you watch it, you are there with them. Yeah it's really interesting, them being the pioneers. finding undiscovered things. That's Star Trek to a tee.

I will think about it haha. Maybe I'll watch all of it, maybe nothing. I'm not sure if I still want to watch tv series in the first place. That said, I'm now watching the second episode of Enterprise and I think it's better than the first! I love how primitive it all is and how the humans are treated as inferior to the Vulcans. It's now like the humans are one of those random species that the TNG crew would encounter if you know what I mean.

I think that would be a mistake but if you think you wouldn't watch them if it meant having to watch all of them... well that is a necessary sacrifice. My reasoning is though, these lists do not know you personally and they may advise you to watch episodes they like but you don't , and they may tell you to skip episodes that you might really like. My primary example is The Inner Light, one of the most celebrated TNG episodes, my brother didn't really like it, but he really like some episodes that I really don't like. It is up to you though. edit: I mean... seriously... they recommend skipping Jetrel??? That episode is incredibly good character development for Neelix. I just can't fathom that.

I watched the pilot of Enterprise today. I kinda liked it. I think I might watch a simplified watchlist of ENT and VOY. https://www.letswatchstartrek.com/ent-episode-guide/ https://www.letswatchstartrek.com/voy-episode-guide/

The Secret Of Nimh (1982) is one of the best animated movies ever made, I would also state it is the best Don Bluth movie ever made. This film is exactly what Don Bluth wanted it to be, no interference, no execs, just pure Bluth and it's cinematic gold. Every frame of animation is so gorgeous and meticulously hand-drawn with such elegance and care. Every moment builds character depth, every beat has a purpose, the score in this film composed by Jerry Goldsmith is a lullaby to the ears. Oh my gosh I love this movie, this film also has ONE OF the BEST sword fights I have ever seen in an animated film, it's drawback is how short, but it's intensity it's musical score, it's visuals, it's pure bliss! I think this is certainly a wake up call for what modern animation needs to be. The film gets dark, it gets intense, but it makes the climax SOO rewarding, that moment when the score comes in, you just feel different, you feel like a wash of joy has poured over you. Maybe the film could use some slight extensions but if we're talking about the film we have it's dang near perfect if not PERFECT. 10/10

Interesting that you liked Shaw that much! He did have a lot of integrity... kind of. I decided to rate it 8, the writing is just not good enough for it to be a 9 imo! Not sure what to do with myself ... well you have options! voyager is worth watching. I've watched voyager more than enterprise. it's easier to watch. enterprise is good and i love it, but it's a bit harder to watch. not sure why. Strange New Worlds s worth it too. There are some terrible episodes, but there are also some really good ones.

Kathleen is leaving, is Star Wars getting a new hope or a new wreck?
Fascinating. I don't have much hope left for Star Wars though. I'm sure they'll make something somewhat cohesive out of it, but not in the right manner. We'll have to wait for AI movies before we can have good Star Wars again. Same with Star Trek.

Filoni and Lyynwen are taking over Lucasfilm, Kathleen is out! and I am so excited, but should we be fearful? After all Book Of Boba Fett exists with Faverau's fingerprints and so does Mando S3, tho are these artifacts of the Bob Jpeg era? Will Hunt For Ben Solo return? https://www.starwars.com/news/lucasfilm-leadership https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-wars-kathleen-kennedy-steps-down-dave-filoni-1236465012/ Any thoughts?
