Have a forum on each movie page, and delete the general "movie-specific" forum

I agree this could bring people in. I also agree that no other movie forum has yet to rise up to replace the IMDB specific-movie forums on their movie pages, and that some site will eventually rise up to fill that void. Criticker could try to get in there while the getting's good.

Completely agreed. I don't know if the site owners want their site to grow. But if they do, I really consider this a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

We do have plans to work on this. It's been in our queue for awhile, and appreciate the extra notes.

Great idea, though I think if it were to be implemented, the "movie-specific" forum should be retained as a collection of all the threads for movies that people have posted in, so you can see the most recent/active discussions, etc.

My idea of implementing this, would be:
Put all topic headlines for a film directly on this film's criticker page
(e.g. in a box with scroll bars, similar to the way the scores are presented)
and add a button "create new discussion topic for this film" (or similar).
The created topics should be linked TO both from the film's page (as just described) AND from within the "movie-specific" forum. The latter helps to spot the currently active threads.
