I posted at Icine for ages, but left because of personality conflicts. Overall a great group of posters.

I think that's what makes MC so awesome.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
We have people who know their movie stuff and know what they love. The Wats (Disney), the 8s (Battle Royale), The sycophants (Anime/Japanese film), the KFs (Akira), the Maxs (Matrix) the Raiders of the NewFound arks/the Bartys...the Megs (Superman) the Stay Pufts (anything Malick) [I dont mean to call out every MCer here]
The range of people here and their interests is the prefect blend to influence others. It's intimate, and We don't really deviate too much off the movie/books/TV topics. Sure we have an OT section and a Random thread, and sports stuff and an atheist thread, but it's not full of "Rate the poster above you DVD collection" or "Random Word Threads" and crap like that.
Looking back at my post history; I've definitely matured not just as a poster, but as the way I view cinema. And that's all because of the people who post here, their recommendations and insight into the art.
Love this forum.
But.....I never told astor how I felt about her.....so many things left unsaid.....
.....CURSE YOU, CRUEL FATE!!!!
All sarcasm aside, between this and RT's forum closing, it IS the end of an era. :sad:

Linkedin sends me emails, be all like, "Do you know Blah McBlaherson? Or Herp Der Derp?"
And then I be all like, "Yeah. I do know them. Unfortunately."
Crap. I had no idea icine died. I posted there for awhile, but it was as much of a community, friends thing as it was a movie/TV forum. Hadn't been there for years, but that still sucks hearing about.
There was another offshoot of RT with mostly Crit Discussion posters. It's pretty tight-knit and has survived. It was never a hotbed of activity, and has slowed down some.
Where do astor go after icine? She was always a pretty cool poster.
Always room for Match Cut!
So what your saying is...Match Cut won the king of the hill.
I liked all those posters over at Icine, but I never posted much because it always seemed like I missed whatever was being talked about.
KF gets the Akira? I need to post more.
Btw, 2 year molars are the seventh circle of hell. I have slept 5 hours in the last 60, no exaggeration.
What's the likelihood of a six-state California? Forbes said it could seriously happen.
He most certainly meant Kurosawa, not the anime. I haven't seen that since high school, something I should remedy soon.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Forbes is a trash brand. The possibility of that happening are exactly zero.
I just now realized you post here after seeing this post show up in my notifications. Cool.Quoting Philip J. Fry (view post)

Also I wasn't listed by Duke. I'm the guy without a thing :P
It would be great if astor posted here yet I think she's too busy currently. That's why Icine ended, among other things.

Very unlikely. There's still two years before it would appear on the ballot, and voters aren't very much for it, and even were voters to like it, it would have to pass through Congress. I haven't studied it in depth, but the fact that one of the six states would literally be Silicon Valley, and that the chief advocate is a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, I'm thinking it's got little to do with improving the state at large and is mostly about maximizing the success of certain prosperous communities at the expense of more troubled rural areas. And, frankly, CA's infrastructural problems are such that somehow splitting the state into six different states, with six different sets of regulations, laws, tax codes, is downright absurd.Quoting Ezee E (view post)
I'm mostly amused that the northern most state out of the six isn't called Northern California. Its called "Jefferson." The hell?

My phone was lost/stolen on Friday. Went in today to see what a phone costs without the discounts from upgrading or renewing your contract. Now I kind of want to throw up.
...and the milk's in me.
Yes, I just went through this. Except I went into a pool with my phone in my shorts' pocket. It hurt--the wallet and the ego.Quoting Mara (view post)
That's why I have insurance and the ability to upgrade my phone after 6 months and not 2 years (or whatever it is now).
Sure why not?

That's why I have a Rugby II so I don't have to continuously upgrade my phone.Quoting Watashi (view post)
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
I dropped mine. It cracked. I've had it for 2.5 years. Got a new one for free.
That's why I've transitioned to empty soup cans and string.
There's a guy at work who is Crazy Joe Davola.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
"I have a hair on my tongue. Can't get it off. You know how much I hate that? Of course you do. You put it there. I know what you said about me, Seinfeld. I know you badmouthed me to the execs at NBC. Put the kibosh on my deal. Now I'm gonna put the kibosh on you. You know I've kiboshed before. And I will kibosh again."Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Jerry's panic afterwards, as he repeats "kibosh" again and again, is a classic example of one of Larry David's ingenious comedic tendencies: seizing on a particularly funny word or phrase and compounding its absurdity through repetition.
While I'm glad you reminded me of this hilarious bit, I hope this person at work isn't creating a legitimately worrying or threatening situation.
Well I'll be damned.Quoting Lazlo (view post)
