RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I actually liked Exit Wounds tbh
No idea what's wrong with me. But tbh I like DMX and Anthony Anderson so that might have been a contributing factor.
I write a few notes at the end of each film. It helps when we're trying to remember e.g. "which film had the giant fish tank with naked women in a restaurant?"
Anyway, Exit Wounds:
It looks like my opinion of it is vindicated!
What's been the least horrible Steven Seagal movie for you?
Bonus fun fact: in Estonia we sometimes call him Steven Seakael which means Steven Pigneck. Besides an obvious play on the name, it's also because he's a bit on the heavier side for a martial artist so he's got a bit of a thick neck
I see the Seakael.
Obviously Under Siege and Executive Decision are both legitimately good films so I don't think they count. There are some films which can be enjoyable and have their charm, I'd include Out For Justice, Fire Down Below, Exit Wounds and Half Past Dead in this category. If you want to watch a bad film and laugh, my go-to is General Commander.
Love the bonus fact! I'm definitely bringing this up at our next Seagalathon
