have we actually offended cineastic posters? Or is that hypothetical?
The talk in movies doesn't bother me, though I do get a little of the "New posts! Oh, just Deadwood talk," but that just makes me want to watch Deadwood.

Heh, now so am I. Also "dead like a thing that is dead".

Well, I just wanted to know...sometimes I wouldn't notice. The Daves have made me their bitch and stuff. It does kind of leave Natter as The Place to Talk about Sandwiches. Not that that's all bad, but... Frank, that would probably be "dead like a *fucking* thing that is dead." and bwah!

I will admit to annoyance at Deadwood posts in the movie thread. Not offended, but annoyed.
Exactly how I feel about some of the TV talk in Natter. Granted, mostly because I don't watch the reality shows that get discussed there, and don't really have an interest. Very mild annoyance, though, and sometimes relief if I'm playing catch-up in Natter.

I like the HBO posts in Movies -- it seems like the right place for them. (Of course, that might be just that I'm used to them being there now.)
Personally, I also like having TV talk all over the place, because it forces people to check out threads they might not otherwise go into. It fosters community, or something. (Note: the previous two sentences were pulled directly out of my ass, and should not be assumed to have actual supporting data behind them.)
All that said, however, I'd not be averse to a Premium Channel Boxed Set.

As a general rule I'd as soon keep regular tv talk in Natter and elsewhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, but it's not off-topic in Natter, like Deadwood talk is in the Movies thread.

I think that's kind of true. I never went into Boxed Set until Eureka.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I started talking Deadwood in Movies because it didn't seem to have a home elsewhere and there's no way I could keep up with Natter. Also, I think HBO shows seem more kin to cinema than network tv, but that might be anti-commercial prejudice. Just to clarify my stance, I'm happy with the situation as is, but willing to propose another thread if we're annoying people with the thread drift, as we apparently are.
