There is a very easy way to ensure that. Don't pin this in the main forum. 

 

Once the 36 worst movies was moved from the main forum to the speakeasy, all comments stopped. I think that gained 20 pages in 2 days pinned in the main discussion forum, and only 1 page in the following month and a bit it was pinned in the speakeasy.

That's cause the list was revealed and most of the discussion was done already.  It was moved back a week after.

do  you want them in PMS or should you post it here?

 

I want a few in pms just so it can remain a surprise.

 

As for criteria, overrated is whatever you deem overrated to be, which is why I would like people to offer blurbs over why they think something is overrated so it can be in the posts when the list is revealed.

I think there should be a TDKR and Avengers rule for this thread.  

 

The rule should state:  No one can criticize anyone for mentioning these two films.  Due to the loonie nature of both fan bases, they cannot be trusted to not hijack another thread, therefore, they are banned from any kind of comments about said films being mentioned.

 

Not kidding either.  I think this will be a fun thread but I don't think any of wants to sit through another 50 pages of BKB and Square fighting and then Dash coming in and throwing in his two cents and so on.  

 

I'll approve this, i'd much rather see people argue about Inception or Toy Story 3 or something else than The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers.

 

I'll just make it a rule that there can be no form of Marvel vs. DC discussion.

I can't put any Marvel movie on my list?

 

You can put a Marvel movie or a DC movie on the list, just no Marvel vs DC discussion or comparing a Marvel or DC movie in any way.

Join in the chaotic fun! 

[baumer]

Shouldn't there be a "Lisa rule" as well?

 

If 99% of the forums hasn't heard of the movie, then it cannot be over rated.

[luna]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone call these films overrated, underrated or even just rated

 

i could have added countless superhero movies, but would have fallen asleep just typing their name

[baumer]

i could have added countless superhero movies, but would have fallen asleep just typing their name

 

But if none of us have even heard of films that you have seen, then how can they be over rated?

[Dementeleus]

I'm having a tough time paring my list down to 25.

[baumer]

Look, tele's up before 8.
