Some Ground Rules..

Some reminders are necessary for some folks here…

1)Excessive and repetitive silly comments will be deleted. People who refuse to heed multiple ‘gentle’ warnings on this might eventually be barred altogether.

2)Political discussions are fine but this is a movie blog. Nonetheless there are specific threads available for these things and people who intend to develop party platforms here (!) should stick to those threads. Those who are prolific political commenters shouldn’t have any problem bookmarking those threads.

3)All discussions completely unrelated to a thread should go in the box office post.

Once in a while it’s fine to have loosely related stuff in a thread but a full-blown discussion cannot develop out of it. So those who respond also have some responsibility. The problem is that once there are too many comments in a thread on the ‘wrong’ topic it’s hard to simply delete them. It throws the order of the thread out of whack if things are not done carefully and to do the latter requires too much time. There is often no option left other than to close the thread. Hope people will be more careful about all of this stuff. But the first point is especially important. Because the other stuff is at least done in good faith and not merely to clog up the forum or to engage in total silly talk. I think all these issues can be smoothed out. For folks who still have issues on one or more of these points clearly this isn’t the right place for them.

Now, what’s that angry Rajni image doing here? Hopefully it doesn’t have to be spelled out! But there’s also a carrot to the stick. If you flout some of these rules but submit a Rajni movie review for a movie you’ve seen recently you can expect some leniency!
