Do you think you're dependent on MC


What if it disappeared?

reply

I don’t think I’m dependent on it, but I do enjoy it. I would be able to survive without it.

reply

There's a joke in my circle of friends not to let me like something they do or it will get discontiuned. I'm used to things I love going away. I might get sad, but I would get by.

reply

I ❤ MovieChat.

reply

Why? I'm curious.

reply

thanks laura 👍 👍

There's always Reddit

reply

Shirley you jest ! Reddit is next to bloody useless for having conversations. It has been deliberately designed that way.

reply

It's not great. it's why I'm here, but it's an alternative.

reply

I find Reddit ugly to look at.

reply

I completely agree
Plus, there are far too many weirdos there

We are all totally normal here, you know😃

reply

Am I dependent on MovieChat? No, I just like to hang out here because it's fun. I especially enjoy the Baker's Dozen games. However, if MovieChat disappeared I'm sure I could find somewhere else to hang out.

reply

I FOUND YOU A PLACE TO HANG OUT...https://www.chat-avenue.com/boysonlychat.html

reply

That's okay. I'm way too old to be hanging out with teen boys. But thanks anyway.

reply

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!! Comments like this keep me coming back.

reply

I miss the imdb boards. I wouldn't miss MC.

reply

Same. This place doesn't fill the hole in me left by IMDb. Just doesn't get the same traffic. Still, it's a fine way to kill some time.

reply

imdb is not coming back.

reply

I will never forgive Jeff Bozos for shutting down the IMDb Boards. Or for butchering the MP3 encoding of the sublime album by Father Sydney MacEwan 'The Lord is My Shepherd' which was an act of barbarism, sacrilege and blasphemy all rolled into one.


reply

How dare you?!?!?

reply

I would miss it, but I'm not dependent on it.

reply

i'm not dependent on it. certainly not the way i'm rather pathetically hooked on twitter. if twitter went away, or if for some reason i was perma-banned from it, there would definitely be a gaping hole in my life. and i say that recognizing that this would probably turn into a massive improvement, since i definitely seem to be one of those sad people whose worst side comes out on twitter constantly.

moviechat, for the most part, is a pleasant break from that. i appreciate that the mods keep the political stuff out of the gd board, and i wish some people would stop trying to sneak political items into this area. there's lots & lots of places they can happily discuss those things, and if they really want to tear it up on those topics they should go there, not here.

reply

Those posters that sneak in "woke" threads when discussing movies/shows gets old. All of those threads need to be moved to "politics".

reply

UGH I HATE THAT WORD AND THOSE WHO FIND REASON TO USE IT.

reply

I hate the term "woke". Back in my day when you were "woke" you just did too much coke and couldn't get to sleep.

reply

I do too and especially when I see so called professional news anchors using it. That gives it an undeserved validity.

reply

News anchors are notorious cokeheads as well. Coincidence????

reply

I wasn't aware of that but it makes sense. I'll see them in a different light from now on.

reply

Cokeheads are generally very shallow people. It helps them enjoy coke because it's flashy and makes you feel on top of the world. Shallow people love that. Not to say everyone that has used and enjoyed coke is shallow. That isn't true.

reply

Well, I once heard someone refer to it as, "a rich man's drug". I'm a beer and weed man myself but I haven't indulged in any good reefer in a long while.

Your comment about the anchors reminded me of that loud and wound-up pitchman, Billy Mays and the conflicting reports of cocaine being instrumental in his untimely death.

reply

"Billy Mays here!!!! Do you have stains you just can't wash out????"

His autopsy revealed that heart disease was the cause of death with cocaine a "contributing factor".

Beer and green are my deal as well. I can see a guy like Mays(rich and successful living in sunny Fla.) being attracted to coke. He was just at an age where you should avoid hard drugs. Being in your twenties is one thing. Mays was 50. Time to put the straw down.

Edit-Opiates and Valium was also found in his system.

reply

IM HAVING SOME GOOD REEFER RIGHT NOW...TAKE A LONG PULL ON THIS RIGHT HERE.

reply

What strain?

reply

STRAWBERRY KRYPTONITE.I ALSO HAVE SOME BLUEBERRY KUSH AND SOME GREEN KUSH CHEESE.

reply

A clone-only hybrid. Nice. Great for pain without being too sleepy.

That green kush cheese is nice. A green crack cross. I generally like sativa strains.

reply

Gotta love those strain names. Reminds me of that scene in Ted:


Ted:
Oh hey listen, try this, I told my weed guy to step it up and he gave me that. [Ted passes a bong to John] .

John:
What is this?

Ted:
It's called "Mind Rape", it's actually pretty mellow.

John:
It doesn't sound very mellow.

Ted:
Well he only had three other batches: "Gorilla Panic", "They're coming! They're coming!" and something called "This Is Permanent"... Go on, spark it up!

reply

Yeah, I was pondering those myself. In my day we had descriptors like, "some damn good Mexican" or "ass-kickin' Vietnamese".

reply

REMINDS ME OF THAT SCENE IN PINEAPPLE EXPRESS WHERE GARY COLE IS JUST POINTING AT BAGS AND MAKING NAMES UP.

reply

I'm jealous. I've got plenty of beer in the house. A good joint would be the perfect complement.

reply

I ran out of weed two days ago. You are not alone. KOW has some. Let's hit him up, lol.

reply

"RAN OUT OF WEED"....HUH?...WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN???RAN OUT? JESUS GOD MAN...IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?...IM FEELING FAINT...BETTER LET ME TAKE A LIL PULL ON THIS BONG....OK,BETTER..BUT FOR REALS...RAN OUT? WTF MAN?

reply

I just need to make a phone call. No worries.

And I guess I lied. I can scrape together some shake for a rip or two.

reply

I shared this on Willie Nelson's board yesterday https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/01/29/tennessee-man-marijuana-trnd-orig-ns-llr.cnn

reply

I read about that! Sparked up in front of the judge. Pretty ballsy. He wasn't facing any real time though.

reply

Yeah, ballsy and funny! Only a real stoner could look that happy in a mug shot.

reply

No shit!

reply

My first reaction to Twitter was that it was worthless and wouldn't last. But it did so I tried it for a month and still thought it was worthless. In my opinion there is no substitute for message boards of this format and type.


reply

Never tried Twitter. Just boards like this. I would like to be able to embed videos and gifs but I realize that is pricey. It takes a bit to get used to any forum's layout.
