i don’t understand why conservatives don’t start competition for this, and for social websites like Twitter, FB, etc etc etc! I’m tired of having the Left take away my communication with others.
This is not a free speech issue.
I’m going to miss the “Doesn’t anyone think he/she looks like *insert name of actor that looks nothing like this person*” posts.
That doesn’t help if you are avoiding Facebook to deny traffic to the enemy, though.
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR FREE REPUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
JIMROB WE LIKE CAPITALISM HERE!
Just quit contributing to the enemy. Every dollar you spend on going to see a movie, rent a movie, buy a movie, your cable TV bill, etc. goes to support these people that are directly opposed to your view points and, quite frankly, hate you. Why would you give them your money? If you insist on watching movies, then use something like bittorrent to stream movies for free and deny them the funds. #BoycottHollywood
The “100 Things I Learned from ____________” threads are usually pretty funny and good for Mystery Science Theater 3000-level snark and sarcasm.
Like others, I hope someone creates a good alternative site with message boards.
Don’t ‘get it’.
IMDB is shutting down the boards so why is Amazon to blame?
IMDB, apparently, wants people to use the FB page that generates ad revenue- advertisers rule the internet after all.
How about the “parental guide”?
I use it to see if I think it is a movie I can stomach or not.
Looks like a great opportunity to start one like it to take it’s place.
Rotten tomatoes has a message board:

There’s also a link to a subforum for each film on the film’s review page.
You are correct. Money talks. Dollars are economic votes. The left is doing a good job with their boycott campaigns. It’s a shame conservatives can’t take a page from their playbook. We can’t boycott every single form of entertainment, or every single department store, but we can certainly make an example of a few isolated targets.
What is the connection between Amazon and IMBd?
Here is a link to the message board:

Where is the Amazon connection?
Nevermind. Cancel my question. A quick look answered it for me.
What happened? did a few normal people post something that made a few snowflakes melt?
Amazon bought out the IMDb boards about a decade ago.
I don’t give Hollywood one red cent, there are other ways to consume the content they put out.
Can you elaborate?
Thanks
Thanks.
NPR and many online websites for newspapers did this. I think it must be a good way to exclude generally older more conservative folks who don’t do social media but did do anonymous message boards and forums.
