Do you think you're dependent on MC


What if it disappeared?

reply

Only in the sense that it's become a handy reference tool for movie information. When I become interested in a film, I'll go to its board to determine whether it's worth pursuing. Afterward, I'll read the various comments. That's become especially useful if I have questions or something was just unclear to me. No longer being able to indulge in that routine would be frustrating for awhile if it became unavailable as an option.

It is the best resource for movies and tv post imdb.

reply

No. I wasn't dependent on IMDb and Moviechat is tiny by comparison. But I would be annoyed if it disappeared as well.

reply

I could do without GD, but not without the message boards which I check out after every movie or tv show. That's what I missed most about IMDb.

reply

I don't think I ever went to GD on IMDb, so I think I would survive without it here, but most of the shows I watch have zero traffic so this is where I get my chat fix. I really miss the I need to know board from there. So many knowledgeable folks that could help with the most obscure movies.

Back on IMDb I was pretty much a lurker and would post more often on my favourite boards (most of which have close to zero traffic as well over here).

One of the few film boards on MC that resembles the activity of the IMDb boon, that I'm aware of, is Psycho (1960) mostly thanks to a few dedicated posters, one of which is incredibly enthusiastic. Imagine if each film board was like that but with more people involved.

Hey, good to see you, it's been a while!

I try to contribute as much as possible, but it's kind of boring if you just keep talking to yourself.🤷‍♀️

reply

I just needed to take a break, come back to have a fresh start and a new beginning. It's good to see you too, Stratego.

Maybe a game can be made involving the film boards. The crowd here at MC makes them so enjoyable.

How's things in your basement, sweetie?

MC is cool, but I was here in the beginning and really hoped it would be busier by now than it is. It doesn't seem like many more people have found it than were here right after the IMDB boards shut down.

reply

I like MC, but imo, MovieForums is a decent alternative (despite much less activity).

reply


No worries, mate! I'd just post even more on that "other film board."

reply

I am not, but I like to be here and "speak" with other people around the world.
