I think in the very beginning, when the ranks where first implemented, P4 was the only one granting what the lower ones did, but it's been sometime now, and don't fully remember.

Still in the lvling portion of the expansion, so far, I find it at least as good as Dragonflight, but I like the theme more this time around.
Didn't mind the dragons, but it became a bit much by the end.

Plus the random discounts and bank interest helps a little bit

The discounts help tremendously. I think the smallest discount I ever used was about 24% and most have been 40% or more - my P3/P4 was at 48%. I've basically bought all of the levels for just over 31,000 LC (current retail is 58,095 - my average overall discount was more than 46%), so watching for the sales is important. When Kav is back, another one should pop up.

What is really helpful is getting to P1 and all of the waiting periods go away, which makes being more active here easier. I spent the funds for my P3/P4 about a week or so ago, and I'm back up to over 42K in the bank, plus whatever you're seeing now in my postbit. It can add up pretty quickly with the 2% and the interaction.

Speaking of interaction: REMEMBER TO OCCASIONALLY SAY "THANKS!" TO THE BACKREADERS since they spend a couple or three hours every day going through all of the new posts in this thread and react to all or most of what they see and feeding you new coins.

Can I ask though what are the benefits of prestige? I mean how does it help make it easier to be an active member on here?

 

[Tosser]

this
The average american (that does not post in this forum ) is such a black hole of ignorance and unfounded pride that the only way to produce a movie there is to ultra-burgherize it.
american actors, a red blooded american script, a bald eagle as a director of photography etc etc
this will inevitably completely miss the point of the original movie and turn it into just some bland slop, because bland high-glucose slop is the only thing the brains of americans can digest.

That's ever so slightly bigoted and offensive. Just sayin.

And trying to judge us by those morons and Marxists in Hollyweird is a bit of a foolish approach to things.

Maybe you can buy Prestige 1 first. So you can access the VIP Zone.

That's a long grind.. I think m+ first then p1? Just so I have motivation to do so...

Just go to a taxi driver in a airport they usually vent about foreigners when the foreigner did something wrong.
Those drivers can easily say nasty things about foreigners.

 

[Flame125]

And today I found out that VIP Zone exists. I thought it was only for the VIP banner.

 

[Slumdum]

That is usually what people do, m+ then p1 and then p4, since p2 and p3 don't give much except for profile customisations.

It all comes back to you. Just a suggestion, instead of m+, it's better to save in the bank to earn interest and wait for discounts

 

[Noci]

i disagree.
M+ is a requirement to "use the site" everything else is just the cherry on the cake. get m+, then if you like the forum, stay

With P1, you got m+ benefits too.

 

[CozeeBeaver]

Only real advantage of P1 is that there is no cool down time to reacting to posts etc. I see little benefit beyond that. I'm just saving now until I can buy P4. Should only take about a year of collecting interest daily!!!
There is nothing to access in the VIP room as far as I can tell.
M+ is a necessity, P1 is ok to speed up posting comments and earning LC. P2, P3 probably don't offer anything of interest that P1 doesn't have. I won't be wasting LC on them anyway.

Instead to pick the movie, dub it and sponsor it, American producers have this obsession with remaking them with some low cost director and scriptwriter who doesn't understand why that particular movie had success or why it was a good movie. Maybe only 1 on every 100 remakes has commercial success. I wonder if they even try sometimes just to put an international movie in the American theaters. Maybe American users can answer to that: Are foreign movies present in American theaters? Does the American audience reject them or is it a bias from the producers? Why do you think it happens that often a foreign movie is remade?

I'm not American, but I had an American co-worker a whole while back. Brace yourself... It's a story within a story.
Skip to the end if you don't like my blabla.

Hopefully, I didn't already tell the story on this board and forgot.

So, this guy was like, 10-20 years younger than me, but he felt older than me. An "old soul" so to speak.
Surprisingly, he had an passionate defense of remakes, no matter how bad. He told HIS story:

He was from a farm town. They did plays for entertainment. Drapes were used as robes. Farm tools were used as medieval weapons.
As as a kid, he found it magical... until...
..."some mother fucking city slicker" (his words) had arrived in town or been stuck there and saw the play.

The city dude then proceeded to shit all over the play, talking about how it was so much better in Broadway, or some such.
He really, REALLY crushed the spirits of the farmer / actors.
To prevent the, you know, likely death of the city boy, the mayor expedited the repairs on the car, or whatever, and he was sent on his way.
This stuck with my co-worker.

He said "I feel just as protective about movies and movie remakes as my farm plays. I don't care if worse. I don't care if it's OBJECTIVELY worse.
I wanna see THAT story, with MY actors, with TODAY'S tech, and I don't really fucking care how shitty it is. Me and my friends will see it."

Presumably, he meant actors of his age / contemporaries, not, you know, the actual 'actors' from his farm.
Still, that stuck with me. He also was the guy that I spoke of that said:
"What? If Shakespeare had made movies instead of plays, and it was recorded, no-one could ever, Ever, EVER remake Romeo and Juliet?"

Now, unfortunately, there's not enough people like him that see those movies to stop bomb after bomb at the box office, but at least he got something out of the remakes. I hope that explains something, or, at least, gives HIS opinion on remakes.

TLDR = Some people WANT remakes with THEIR actors. That's it. No more. No less. But there's not enough people like that for the movie to make money.
