When was the last time you had a productive/intelligent discussion

Just post a 'The Thing' thread.

That usually works.

>>81197367
~2014

>>81197367
Sopranos and wire threads are the only good serious discussions on /tv/

>>81197406

Yeah, that and porn threads seem to bring everyone together.

>>81197447

The Office threads are pretty comfy, too.

in a Princess Protection Program thread 7 years ago

Can we make /tv/ a closed community with server/administrative costs paid through a monthly subscription fee? We can kick out all the autists, like this dude >>81197499

>>81197499
Please die

>>81197367
I only come here for that small, but satisfying, connection with strangers over movies and shows we happen to like. Everything else is just shitposting to me.

In a very informative cunny thread just a day ago. Oh and i think the capeshiet threads have a lot of groundbreaking discussions on visuals in movies.

>>81197574
You need to be exiled.

I genuinely wish all of the IMDB posters would seek refuge here. Drown all these shitposting 14 year old spics out.

Last year about Anomalisa.

>>81197694
Was IMDB actually a good place to have a discussion? I always imagined it was rife with SJWs and fundamental leftists who enjoy misappropriating arguments whenever they feel flustered or outwitted.

>the only way to have a genuine conversation on /tv/ today is to make an /eternal/ for off-the-air shows. otherwise, it's been years.

fuck this board dude. i despise reddit and all these faggot 14 year olds

I like the mystery and international film recommendation threads. There are usually individuals that know a lot about films and directors I wouldn't have otherwise gotten into.

Just today I enjoyed the perspective of an anon from the Perfect Blue thread earlier and wanted to ask them more things.

bretty gud thread going on right here. if you really don't like nu-tv, go post in it to show your support:

>>81193692

>>81197782
It's not even a matter of finding the occasional hidden gem thread, because no, even the post quality in those threads is severely low with few posts containing more than like 15 unique words, 25 if I'm being absolutely generous.

>>81197626
How does one even fall for this pathetic bait ? Really activates those almonds doesnt it?

>>81197887
bait activates your amygdala? good one retard.

>>81197861
The only two good posts in that thread got no responses. Sad. And then of course the entire thing devolved into a roll thread.

>>81197877

That's the biggest issue—it's not that folks don't try to initiate interesting conversations; it's that such quality threads are heavily drowned out by the constant bumping of LCD bullshit like "capeshit" and Star Wars and terrible, overpushed memes.

Why are you pretending like this isn't 4chan all of a sudden? You want intelligent conversation about your favorite director or movie? Find a different website entirely. This place is for mentally unbalanced people who have nowhere else to go and you know it.

>>81198727
Tell me which year you started browsing here.

>people actually come to 4chan for "discussion"
>not memes
when did it all go wrong lads?

>>81197367
Earlier today, when I learned why balls are outside of the body instead of inside.

Temperature regulation. They need to be at the right warmth which is lower than the body temperature to create sperm, and the ballsack allows for the contraction and expansion of that efficiently.

So /tv/ has been very productive today.

>>81198796
About the same time your kind started encroaching.

>>81198727
You clearly haven't been here long. Perhaps going back to wherever you came from would be of small service.

>>81198844
>About the same time your kind started encroaching.
You mean 2008?

I don't BRAAAPPPPP remember. Lost/mad men/sopranos live threads, probably

>>81198796
t. redditourist from 2015

>>81198877
>/tv/ really is about discussion!
>just ignore all the "cunny"
You find the best delusions here.

>>81198861
Name a single prevalent meme from 2008, my man.

>>81198920
it's not "about" discussions, but perhaps the "/tv/ is just for memes" mentality is a shitty self-fulfilling prophecy that's brought post the average quality down

I mean >>81198869
Seriously? Who the fuck would type that and press post? It's not even funny.

>>81198929
Granted these are /b/ memes. You want me to spam this thread with gore?

>>81198959
>>81199014
That's about what I figured. Please leave. Or continue bumping the thread. Maybe it'll raise some awareness while you retards gaggle on about muh memes.

>>81198929
Zippo cat or heel girl and cat? What about microwave and cat?

>all this discussion

Have you ever even used the LOIC? HOIC?

>>81199058
Just accept it, this place was never for anything but memes. You are a literal retard senpai, I've been on 4chan /b/ since 2007, /tv/ since 08 and /a/a since 09'. The years when I was finishing highschool. If you didn't start on /b/ you are a literal newfag and you've got no idea what this place truly represents.

>>81199116
Kill yourself.

>>81199062
Nope, never heard of any of it. Just got here yesterday.

>great argument
Thanks for the (you).

I was using this place before (you) before the catalog. Keep going.

>>81199008
I did. Because it PHHHHTTT TOOT annoys you

>>81199144
I bet you've never even had to noko.

>>81197367
During the obscure movies threads.

>>81199183
>needing attention this badly

That's what's wrong with this place. Stepping stones such as yourself with suicidal levels of self-esteem think getting replies is what it's all about, so you push terrible memes and shitty threads that'll attract the average fellow brainlet.

>Doing things for fake internet points.

Hmm, I wonder where I've seen that before.

>>81199223
I wish I could sage your lifespan 2bh.

>>81199008
>Seriously? Who the fuck would type that and press post? It's not even funny.
Because retards like yourself actually get triggered over it.

>>81199266
>triggered

You have no idea what that word means. You're overcompensating just like your buds over at /r/The_Donald. Pointing out a flaw in someone's thinking doesn't mean the critic is frothing at the mouth.

>>81199253
>hahaha sage
Yeah, never heard of noko, or the email field, your so new you still smell of milk.

>That's what's wrong with this place.
Kek, there is literally nothing wrong with this place, leave if you think it's so bad, actually go to fucking reddit. Like, what are you doing? Masochist? What the fuck is wrong with people like yourself? Honestly.

>>81199266
>retardation
>not "brraap toot haha"
Keep telling yourself that.

>>81199302
>forming thoughts and an opinion over something isn't getting triggered.

Just don't think about it, kek. Replying to him is all he wants, and you give it to him. It doesn't matter if its in a meta fashion, just ignore it. Holy shit.

You get triggered by nothing posts. Are you 15?

>>81199319
You're literally sperging out. Calm down.

I don't leave because threads like this one are interesting. You claim this place is all memes, yet you're actually anally devastated to the point of insulting everyone who doesn't agree with you.

Chill the fuck out, spergboy.

>>81199339
>replying to people who post retarded shit for the explicit purpose of being replied to
>not retarded

I mean, I am doing the exact same thing, kek.

>>81199342
So you're triggered because you're replying to me.

Do you understand how fucking stupid your logic is? Consider taking a critical thinking class at your local community college.

>>81197367
Nearly a year

>>81199352
>i got insulted on the internet
>waahh
That's actually you right now. You can always stop replying? Ever thought of that? No you haven't, because you are new as shit.

>>81197367
Never, because everyone is a self-obsessive, reddit-loving nigger faggot.

>>81199433
>you can always stop replying
>if you don't, you're new
>continues replying

lol

>>81199397
Yes. I am. I don't get triggered by meme posts though.
>being triggered is a bad thing
>anonymous

Grow a pair. Only newfags are as scared to sperg out anonymously as you are.

>>81199319

Not same Anon, but I've been here about 10 years and never used noko, never even bothered finding out about it. I've rarely saged.

Noko or sage prove nothing. kys.

>>81199454
You started this mate, you were then the first one to stop making any actual points. I think I insulted you too much, you should probably just stop posting.

>>81199467
>autistic and proud

Good for you, dude. No, not everyone who responds is triggered. You're not spitting out revelations.

>>81199486
I know what both things mean. He's retarded, but I appreciate the bumps.

>>81199495
I just want the bumps from you so the thread is kept on the first page. I wouldn't ever deign having a "discussion" with someone as evidently retarded as you.

>>81199486
If you never had to noko you are a new fag, without catalog it was literally impossible to find threads on fast boards without it.
>lying on the internet

>>81197406
But I end up getting in an argument about the merits of Ghosts of Mars and Prince of Darkness every time one of those thread happens.

>>81199540
>I just want the bumps from you so the thread is kept on the first page. I wouldn't ever deign having a "discussion" with someone as evidently retarded as you.

I don't think this thread is doing what you want it to do xD.

Meta threads are the most cancer threads in this place, seriously, just leave.


What are you honest intentions with this thread?

Why does /tv/ pretend to be "cultured" and "patrician" even though this board is filled 24/7 with the topics they supposedly hate and consider to be "plebeian" like capeshit threads and other mainstream shit. Hell, even when non mainstream Hollywood films are discussed, they're considered to be "pretentious". It's like /tv/ can't make up its mind on what it actually likes. Any discussion of a film or tv show just turns into a bitchfest of autists using buzzwords like "Reddit", "kino", "meme", etc.

>>81199580
>xD

Yup, definitely a weeb faggot from /a/. Enjoy being a stepping stone in life.

I stated my intentions. Feel free to stick around; feel free to shut the fuck up and jerk off to your 2D waifus Win-win for me 2bh.

>>81199549

Hmmm, how about just scrolling down until a thread that looked promising appears?

It's like you can't even think for yourself.

>>81199621
I literally said i've been on /a/ since 09'. Holy shit can you read?

>I stated my intentions.
Oh so you want to change the state of the board with the power of anonymous, may as well make a trip xD.

>not repeating your actual intentions out of fear of persecution
Coward.

>>81197367
You can literally scavenge the archive and see that the average post even back in 2014 (not that long ago) was a lot less intellectually defunct than the average post nowadays.

I seriously pity the knuckle-draggers ITT saying this place was always a cesspool of low-effort three word responses because that's just patently false. A place for memes? Yeah, of fucking course, but it was never this brain dead before.

John Carpenter and Lovecraft threads are usually pretty good.

>>81199615
That's exactly the issue. The board is a living double-standard—or, at least, it used to be. Nowadays, "capeshit" (and its variants) is discussed unironically at length and en masse. There's no real way to change it unless most of the board's current demographic is eliminated.

>>81199652
>I literally said i've been on /a/ since 09'. Holy shit can you read?

I'm confirming I can see the obvious. I'm sorry if this wasn't clear enough to get through your troglodyte skull.

>Oh so you want to change the state of the board with the power of anonymous, may as well make a trip xD.

I'll take it into consideration.

>Coward.

lol

>>81199615

It's almost as if /tv/ isn't a hivemind. Freaky, huh?

>>81199648
Kek, you can keep going if you want, but I mean threads would 404 from post cap in minutes, you would post lose your thread and that was it without noko, but yeah, just keep scrolling on this board which is getting some of the highest traffic.

>>81199700
So what distinguishes it from reddit? Most of these fucking losers even slurp up (You)s the same way losers on reddit do shit for upvotes.

>>81199695
>he still isnt stating his intention
>still just posting the exact same quality of post that I am
>somehow better and knows the board better
xD

>>81199724

I don't know, I've never been to Reddit

>>81199736
I'm just perpetuating bumps until people who aren't very clearly wastes of genetic material pop in. Notice how I responded civilly to another guy in the same post where I replied to you.

I don't know why it's so hard for you to conceive you're an unlikable fool who people don't want to talk to when you keep "xD"'ing.

>>81199781

desu reddit has some good subreddits. /r/flicks and /r/movies at least have variety. /tv/ just talks about marvel vs. dc, star wars, brap, and bane

>>81199711
>you would post lose your thread and that was it without noko

Not if the thread was in its own tab.

just nuke the board. 95% will go b2r and the 5% who aren't braindead will go to 8ch probably

>>81197367
You can have nice discussions about slightly older TV shows that /b/tards don't care about.
And I was in a fairly good thread about the black and white version of Fury Road when it was released.

But still. Worst board.

>>81200014
How do we eliminate the memeing /b/tards?
