Anyone's mind accidentally lapse into "IMDB mode" yet?

LoL...I haven't done that one yet.

Oh I don't mean like I know IMDB's message boards are gone but am looking up info on a show/movie/etc. - but I had a memory lapse where I forgot the boards were down and wanted to go check the Politics board, lol

earlier i meant to click on the link to this site but naturally went to imdb then got all sad when i realized i was on there :(

I just had a relapse and went to IMDb (don't judge me).

I ended up on getsatisfaction Help Board where people are still very vocal in expressing their disbelief and threats to boycott IMDb and Amazon.

Some people there are posting links to this site, and also to TMDB.

Someone posted a link to this article:
https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/02/rip-imdb-message-boards.html

which is a nice read about the final days of IMDb, so I'm sharing the link here. Very nostalgic. :(

Nah, I immediately replaced IMDb with MovieChat to cope with the grief.

But you know what was (and is) a bad habit: Watching a movie and first thing after the credits start rolling is going to the IMDb and looking what OTHER PEOPLE thought of this or that movie...

The PROBLEM with that is actually that

1. Most people's opinons are so unbelievably retarded that it's painful and not interesting or engaging to read them.

2. WHY even bother with these "opinions" when 99 % of the time it is painful as stated in '1.'?

What I do LOVE is the trivia section. When a movie was great, I eat up the trivia - and then the goofs.

So, what I hope, MovieChat will become, is a site with good moderation, the ability to block other users and (of course) trolls.
