I just made a filter that deletes all posts with "movie" in subject line.

Well, the one below from 'inpk' appears to have been sent through
here...............
http://www.usenetserver.com/ and they will accept your complaint
here..............
but as they offer 'three days for three dollars'
the
OP is probably long gone. In truth there is nothing that anyone here can do
to stop
any posts to the group.

On usenet there are no rules - only [would be] enforcers.

Do it until this flood is over. Agent lets me expire filters after n
days, handy for a flood like this. If I see by the replies that I missed
something I can go back and get it.

guess the head would work a bit better
