I'll miss your presence, but take care man :up:

Re: The Hall of Infamy
 

ok so since the current regular hall had some controversy over nominations with triggering elements i would like to mention that the film i picked for this hall might also be in that same boat. i'm foggy on the details but it might be some not-safe-for-life type shit lol. i'll probably watch it shortly before the hall starts and give an updated content warning and maybe switch out the pick if need be. don't want to pressure anyone into watching something that will really upset them.

I'm going to wait for the reveals on this one. Since I'm a delicate little blossom, I don't want to be a spoil sport. So if the movies are just bad, I'll be in. If I think they'd be bad for my soul, I'll just watch this one from the sidelines.

Either way, fun idea for a HoF!

Decided to preemptively write something about my own nomination, and it's just so dull I don't really have much to say about it haha. I have a feeling that my reviews for this Hall might be significantly shorter than usual.

I'm the opposite as I find it easier to review films I dislike than movies I like.

Re: The Hall of Infamy
 

I just sent my nomination in. Honestly, this is an HoF I really want to be a part of.

Welcome aboard!

I'm a little worried that regret will set in once I have to start watching the other films, but for now I'm still excited for this Hall and glad to see more people joining in on the mutual suffering!

Sometimes I even have a hard time finding something to write about films I do like. I think the worst might be when a film has literally no impact on me though, since what do you even focus on then?

I eventually did manage to make a typical-length review for me, but for the last paragraph I did resort to complaining about having nothing to say because the film is so bland. :lol:

Will not participate, but will pay attention. In hope of being directed to an absurd selection.

Taking all bets! Did any Transformers sequels make the list? WHICH ONE IS IT? The odds on Bumblebee are 1 in 25000!

Wouldn’t it be funny if this ended up being THE GREATEST HALL EVER!

Re: The Hall of Infamy
 

can't wait to wind up loving like 3 of the noms

This is the one Hall where I'll be disappointed if you like my nomination.

Re: The Hall of Infamy
 

I'm not in because I don't have enough time to watch my own shitty movies, let alone watch and review other people's movie choices. However, asking out of curiosity, are there no restrictions on the type of movie? Because the first movie that came to my mind happened to be porn.

Also, you lot should have told Miss Vicky you'd make an exception for her, where she just simply had to review based on, "at what point did you stop watching?"

ETA: "shitty" isn't censored out, but godammit is?
ETAA: Not godammit isn't... How did I trigger that before? Oh well.

To my understanding, there aren't any restrictions to these Halls per se, but there's recently been some backlash in a couple other threads over disturbing films being nominated, so I don't know how much longer we'll be able to keep nominating films with that type of content (I'm fine with watching pretty much everything though).

I don't think porn/excessive nudity has ever caused problems in any of the Halls I've been in. Then again, I can't recall anyone ever nominating a porno. It's probably because Rock hasn't joined these threads yet.

This should be a riot reading the reviews, ENJO -- oh, wait, have a really really really BAD time, EVERYONE!! :D

I think that these halls are an interesting exercise in a group deciding on their own norms. Because you can't just say "nothing upsetting" or "nothing too sexual" or "nothing too violent," because everyone draws those lines in a different place.

The restrictions just come down to what the group in the hall is comfortable with, and I think that people generally try to be sensitive to each others' boundaries. (Though admittedly that's easier in the personal recommendation halls, where you are actually picking a film for one person and not a group).

I mean, I'd rather watch (certain) porn than watch the Hong Kong film I started last year where several animals were tortured and killed on screen. (And thankfully I bailed out before I had to actually watch any of it).

Cowards!

*clears throat*


If you ever need recs on the former, I will be happy to supply them.
