Why can't we use /tv/ for casual discussion, and create

(OP here. Please don't shitpost in this thread, I made it with pure and positive intentions and there are literally dozens and dozens of other threads for you to shitpost in on this board, which is the very problem that prompted me to make this post)

I second this.

Because there isn't enough people to make it worthwhile.

we've been asking for /film/ since ~2011. Moot wouldn't do it. Hiro probably won't either. Sad but that's been the state of affairs around here.

Hell after most of the waifu shit got pruned, they took over /hr/ with it instead.

Just report off topic bullshit and look for the few actually good threads in between. It's what the rest of us do.

not yet
a lot of people from /lit/ or other places would come to talk about film, you just don't see many people here because they're scared away by all the horrible threads. But anyway this goes without saying, yet a /film/ board will never be made because of stupid reasons.

>>83609067
Just make quality posts in quality threads, that's it really.
And if that thread doesn’t exist, you go ahead and make it.

These meta threads do jackshit.

Because any idiot catch watch television or a movie and think they're fucking critical genius. It's a nice idea op, and I'd genuinely like to see something like that, but Nishimura won't go for it, and even if he did, retards would just flood it with the same inane shitposts.

/film/ did happen as a test board.

It got flooded with cuck porn within the hour

Wasn't the first post on the board just a shitpost about kangaroos?

This board USED to have more quality discussion (although there has always been memes and 4chan culture as well).
I think the fact that a lot of newcomers (esp.) from Reddit and teens have come to /tv/ the discussion has been slowly going down hill for a very long time. And this pushes away the people who actually do want to discuss films. For instance I used to be on here all the time, and people use to Sage capeshit threads and call them out on the bullshit, now there's probably at least half a dozen capeshit threads up at one time.
Also the same /tv/ friendly shit is posted AGAIN and again, like right now there's a thread asking for favorite horror movies. And the OP posted the fucking Thing to start the thread. Yes great movie, but seriously, has anyone here not already watched it and actually needs it recommended? Throw out some new shit every once in a while.
I hope we get a film board, but I don't see it happening any time soon.
Letterboxd is a great place to find film recs, but it's missing the discussion aspect. I just try to find people with interesting taste and follow them. https://letterboxd.com/Deity/

/film/ already existed, it was a monumental failure

/tv/ is saturated with shitposts. this place is wild man WIIIILD

Hey
Arrival and La La Land are good movies

It doesn't matter, the point is that splitting /tv/ will only create two boards full of idiotic shitposting instead of creating one board for thoughtful and insightful posts about actual films. It can't happen. This board is infested with literal retards who never spent any time on /b/ and thus they treat this fucking board like /b/. it's over. you should really stop caring
