If if got a question like what is the name of a certain movie, followed by a vague description, what forum would that go into now, General Questions or Cafe Society?

I concur. I moved just such a thread from GQ to Cafe Society earlier today. Depending on my mood, I might let such a thread stay in GQ, but you shouldn’t count on it.

Gad, certainly not General Questions.

Used to be MPSIMS (given the Mundane and Pointless aspect), but you’ll probably get a quicker response now in Cafe Society. The movie boffins will be all over themselves to answer you first.

By the way, I vaguely remember this movie I saw, it was really long? And the girl in it was named “Red” or something? And the guy had this little black moustache? And I think there was a war in it.
