OrsonWelles666 has left us.
We hardly knew the Frenchman. All the best.
sharePlease explain.🤔
shareHe was a prolific poster here over the last month or so and now he has evaporated. He loved Brando.
shareOh, OK. I thought you meant he kicked the bucket....and curious how would you know.
shareHe may not even have been French.
shareI hope he's okay. He might be suffering from depression.
He made a thread about suicide a few days ago, and he got particular offended by my response to his OP, even though I was only making a light gag.
I didn't realize that. I changed the wording of the thread. All the best to him.
shareHe was a jerk to me, but in retrospect maybe he was very ornery because he is going through some issues.
I hope I didn't contribute to them. I made a crack at his expense, which may have been insensitive, but I did make it clear that it was a joke and nothing he should have taken personally.
Most of your posts are dumb political trolling
Do not pretend for a second to care about a former poster (who was a total bore like you)
I'm known for welcoming all of the new posters but you can jump in a creek...we wont look for you
You will not be missed;)
I care about anyone who is suffering from depression.
I didn't get on with him, but I wouldn't wish anything terrible to happen to him, especially if I in anyway contributed to his sadness.
PM him and ask him about his depression then JERKFACE!!!
*I know we are having a dumb feud right now but I completely agree that we must reach out to the mentally ill in our communities and offer services and assistance to them
Now, where were we!?!
He's deleted his account. He's not here. How can I PM him?
Also, I doubt he'd want to hear from me. I made a bad joke at his expense and he took offence. I was quick to make it clear it was a joke (unlike others, if I hurt a person's feelings I try to act quickly to rectify the damage), but it was too late by then.
To be honest, I don't think he likes me anymore than you or LauraGrace or hownos (who for some reason I did think was a friend) do. In fact he possibly dislikes me even more, if that's possible.
If you could possibly get off your high horse we would all get along...this is not a war zone you silly person!
shareNot sure what you mean by 'high horse'.
You think I am any worse than the scores of people here, and across the internet, attacking and berating celebrities, and one another daily, calling out everyone from Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman to Jussie Smollett and Liam Neeson, and picking on every single transgression and failing and calling for those people's pound of flesh?
At least I'm not calling for anyone's head. All I do is acknowledge that we're all, each and every one of us, myself included, are sinners, and it's hypocritical and sanctimonious to pick on any individual, whether it's Trump, or Michael Jackson, or Jared Kushner, or Roseanne Barr, or whoever, and pretend that we're all SOOO much better. The reality is, we're not.
I'm a sinner, you're a sinner, we're all sinners. So let's forgive more, and condemn less.
Anyone have a problem with that?
hownos, you seem like the lone voice of reason around here. Where has all this abuse come from?
Haven't I always been friendly to you?
Word on the street is that he was his sock.
😎
Moderator5 informed us this isn't the case, mate. You have spent too much time in the fever swamp. You are starting to believe the bugfuck crazy things they put out.
share
Yes. That's what he told you and me, but do you believe him? And if so, why? And how would he know?
You have the word of one Mod against five people in "the fever swamp".
😎
Why do you believe five extremely bitter people on a failed website, mate? How would they know? A moderator said that the account was banned for attacking other users. A number of people in this thread said he attacked them. It's an open and shut case. Say no to the crazy, MMC.
share
What makes an MC Mod a more credible source than posters?
Could it be that the Mod is prejudiced against a competitor?
How do you know that they're bitter?
What makes you say it's a failed website? It's currently humming along (warts and all) thank you.
Did I say I believe them?
Nothing is a slam dunk, catbug.
😎
I thought you were kidding about the hownos sock thing. Definitely wasn’t hownos movieman. That orson wanker told me he would punch me in the face knowing I was a female. I haven’t frequented here that long, but I’m positive hownos wouldn’t speak to a female like that. This guy was real scum.
share
I didn't say I believed it, I just reported it. Please don't shoot the messenger.
On the other hand, ever hear of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
😎
Movieman I was not shooting you, you know better than that! I was just filling you in.
Yeah, I don’t think that Canadian has any Hyde in him, just a bit of maple syrup😉
I know that, Froggy. No offense taken. And the Canadian certainly has more than just a bit of maple syrup in him. I can't quite figure out why he's so defensive, and so angry about this though.
😎
I guess I’m clueless to these interactions. I didn’t realize he was angry, I thought you guys were just goofing on eachother. Weird planetary alignment or something lately. The people in my real life have been a little out of wack also. I believe it’s time for a universal pow wow. You can all put THAT in your pipes and smoke um!😁🌱
share
I WAS goofing on him, but he's taking it WAY too seriously. And he seems WAY too defensive.
😎
I accept Moderator5's explanation because I'm not crazy, mate.
Do you not see the jealousy and bitterness dripping off of them when they spend most of their time talking about Moviechat, and coming up with crazy conspiracy theories? They're not exactly playing with a full deck. They called for me to be doxxed, and they have come over here to attack me and others because their friend was banned for harassing hownos!
The management is desperate for Moviechatters to leave and go there, even though the site is mostly trolling, flaming, sexual harassment, and doxxing. They have copied the Moviechat color scheme. They have copied design features like the "Trending" ticker. Basically, Moviechat is Neiman Marcus. People of FB = People of Walmart.
I thought we resolved this yesterday. Are you having cognitive issues or do you plan on being a proxy for the rejects board ?? Go back to your crazy political rants so we can all ignore you again.
share
Whoa! Chill, dude! No need to get nasty. I didn't bring it up again. I was responding to the questions from two posters.
Sounds like I touched a nerve there. Is this your time of the month or something? Why are you so defensive about this?
😐
You implied in your answers that the Orson account was a sock account of mine. If that were the case I would have been dispatched quickly by the mods and would not be able to type this. You are either ignorant or getting bad coaching from the rejects. Anyway, I am done with you. Go away.
share
Chill, Bro. I never implied anything. I just reported what folks were saying, and was curious to see what the response would be. And I've been catching holy hell ever since. Don't kill the messenger.
And I am neither ignorant, nor have I been getting coaching from anyone. I am my own man. But I am puzzled as to why you are so sensitive and uptight about this. If it's not true, just say so. And I will drop it. But don't go all nuclear on me.
😎
Accusing people of having sock accounts here is serious stuff. You accused me twice yesterday and implied so again today. This is Moviechat not the other dump you hang out in. I have the one and only account here and I have never had a sock account here. Can I be any clearer than that.
shareI never accused you of having a sock account, nor did I imply it. You inferred it.
I simply reported that some people thought you had one. Don't shoot the messenger.
And I still cannot understand why you're so defensive about this, or why you're so incredibly hostile towards the other web site. Did someone over there hurt you?
PS As to it being "serious stuff over here", please. Get over yourself.
😎
Nuked by Mods or self-deleted?
shareself deleted I think.
shareHmm...seems a new cast has appeared and we've already seen one casualty though not a great loss😉
Another newbie is worth keeping an eye on, I'm sure you know who I mean (real political crap...)
Ged and Cod seem like keepers👍
And the beat goes on😎!
Another newbie is worth keeping an eye on, I'm sure you know who I mean (real political crap...)Not me? share
If the shoe fits....
shareI get on well with ShogunofYonkers, or thought I did, so if he was talking about me, that would be a shock.
shareWe're on the same wavelength tonight, Ksp. Exactly the expression going through my mind along with Poe's, The Tell-Tale Heart.
shareI have to admit I’m not well versed on Poe...to be truthful not at all. His writings frightened me. When I think of Poe I think of Vincent Price playing the brother who buried his sister alive. I just now did a search on Poe’s quotes. Which one were you referencing? I liked “Men usually grow base by degrees.”
shareIt wasn't a quote I was referencing, it was one of his stories, The Tell-Tale Heart. If you were to read it, you would see how it applies here.
shareI will attempt to do so. We know each other so well on this board to the point we all were thinking on the same wavelength. We were thinking of the same person. Should we be worried?🤔😉
shareNope! Just another pissant destined to blow away in the wind.
shareI have never seen Shoggie so pissed!😡 Other than my back and forth with said person the other day I apparently have missed a great deal. As I wrote I’ve had a lot on my plate lately. Also had a back tooth extracted while in Florida.
shareYes you
You are a bore
Do you think you created your schtick..? It's as old as the hills
Nobobody likes what you do
Get your shit together or shove off dummy
This pleases me. Thank you.
shareWhy?
I thought you were a compassionate and feminist liberal like me, yet it pleases you that I am being subjected to nasty abuse? Bizarre...
I am not like you. You turned me into the bad guy on a thread about
pedophilia. I don't waste my compassion on someone who stirs up trouble
and then acts all 'Who me?'. Bizarre that you're so out of touch with how
people FEEL.
Remind me what I said about paedophilia.
I defended you when you were being attacked as a woman.
I don't expect a medal or a thank you for that, but I certainly don't expect abuse and rudeness either.
No-one is entitled to special treatment and attention. But EVERYONE is entitled to the bare minimum of courtesy and politeness, especially when they have been supportive to you.
And with all due respect, you talk about 'how people FEEL', but don't seem to show much concern about how it feels to read 'This please me. Thank you' after another poster rudely attacked me. That doesn't strike me as the behaviour of someone who is particularly empathetic.
just sleep on it. And then maybe tomorrow, do some damage control.
shareI'm awake. I've just been asleep (it's 6:15am where I am).
As for 'damage control', I am sorry if I offended you in a topic regarding paedophilia (I'm guessing it related to Michael Jackson), but apart from that I don't see where else I have caused offence, and on this particular thread I think I have been fairly civil and reasonable. Maybe a tad self-pitying, but that's only because I feel a bit betrayed, and I prefer to be honest and wear my heart on my sleeve, than to fight fire with fire and respond to sincere (as opposed to ironic) rudeness with the same.
I like a joke. I like a (clearly) ironic and sarcastic trade of insults. And I also don't have a problem being rude to genuine bigots, including racists, homophobes and misogynists, but when posters I've otherwise got on with and share roughly the same values as, start calling me a 'bore' and telling me to get lost, or indeed second such sentiments, I am, to put it mildly, a tad confused.
[q] don't have a problem being rude to genuine bigots, including racists, homophobes and misogynists,[/q]
That's good. I feel the same.
However I don't bait them and pull them out of the woodwork,
and I feel that your threads do.
This is a movie chat board. I'm here for fun and games and film.
I'm sure there are other chat boards more to your tastes,
like currentaffairs.com or something.
You're right. I need to leave off the politics.
I just sometimes have this urge to get stuff off my chest.
It's not about baiting people. It's just about self-expression.
But you're right. This place would be better if it was more about film talk and such fun stuff.
Agree completely LauraGrace. This dude called me a white supremacist and nothing could offend me more. Too busy jabbering to understand what the hell is going on around him.
shareI wouldn't just call someone a 'white supremacist' without reason. You must have said something rude or ignorant with respect to POC for me to make such a charge.
I take racism seriously, and so I also take accusations of racism seriously.
Yes malkovich, it must be me, not you. Once you figure out what rude or ignorant comment I said to make you accuse me of being a white supremicist, let me know.
In the meantime, come to the atl and use the term people of color and see how that works out for you.
Also: look at the definition for narcissist, it might feel strangely familiar.
What's the atl?
And I use POC because that's the term I've seen applied by many progressives to whom the term applies. Why would I use a less favourable term?
He doesn’t know when to quit, does he? There’s always an excuse or a “but”.....
Narcissist....if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. Mirrors are wonderful things!
I feel bad for him kinda. I think his heart might be in the right place, but he’s so consumed with being a social justice warrior, and telling everyone how wrong they are, and how right he is, that he never learns anything.
shareI don’t feel sorry for him because it’s like talking to the wall! Things bounce off a wall...they don’t absorb. Case in point: This morning I was replying to him in his OP thread, “What say those posters who told me Islamophobia wasn't a real thing?”
I finally gave up!🤷♀️🙇♀️
I don't either. He's got more than enough pity for himself. Maybe he really is a lawyer. He's definitely been indulging in the tactic of making the perpetrator appear as a victim.
shareI know. I had given up on him too. It amazes me that he was surprised he was offending folks!
shareFor someone who has tried to appear so smart & superior, charging in here like a bull in a china shop, labeling everyone as an idiot... you didn't know what you were dealing with and should have known better.
Idiot!
Word on the street is that he was hownos's sock.
😎
I do not believe so bro
hownos is my dude...He's the solid sort and a trustworthy, funny pal
Not here. Over on FB. He says he has 400 socks over there. (He was probably drunk on maple syrup.)
And I've told him a MILLION times not to exaggerate!
😎
Yeah, you and I get along real well, hell, I'd even call us buddies at this point MMC2👍
But what happens on FB should stay there and not pollute MC
I still read Croft over there because I think he's a riot but all of the other stuff is really odd and nasty
Yelling 'jew' and 'faggot' at each other all day and night...not very appealing!
Seems like a cyclone of angry bigots shouting endlessly into their own fart clouds...no thanks
You should pack your bags and get back to us soon...they are a bunch of emo types over there:/
I also consider us buddies, Shogie, and I would never do anything to jeopardize our friendship. You're a good man, and an intelligent and witty poster. And you get my goofy jokes. You're my favorite MC poster, hands down.
You're correct, most of the other stuff over there is odd and nasty. But some of it is also wildly entertaining. And there are posters who actually discuss movies. And I do love the freedom.
I also like that it has avatars, and one can use gifs (I love those.) and do polls. It's also in
living color (no plug intended). There is also more traffic over there, which is good for when
I get bored. And then there's the delightful goofiness of Croft (Lara over there).
And yes, some posters are nasty. I have an "Ignore" list longer than my arm. And there are some posters whose posts I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, or a 12 foot Russian.
But others like NZer, SoFarDown, Nettie, Jacky, Muttley, Zolotoy Retriever, and even Miss Margo Channing, are very nice.
Actually I never left here. I post in both places, and I check on both every day. Call me crazy.
I guess I'm just a CBJ.
BTW, I just googled emo. To quote Wiki.how:
"From the suburbs to the beaches, from Mexico to Iraq, teenagers have been self identifying as "emo" for years, yet it still manages to confound and confuse the mainstream today.....emo has its roots in mostly hardcore punk and indie, but it has expanded into many styles sounds and cultures from indie rock to pop punk."
Sounds like an interesting and wacky group.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
😎
They do not have more traffic.
First, their General board appears somewhat busier because basically every post on the site is automatically cross-posted to the General board. So when you are looking at their General board, you are also looking at Soapbox, Watercooler, Welcome, etc., plus any movie board that has any activity. That doesn't happen here. On MC, General is just General.
Second, Moviechat's individual movie discussion boards are exponentially busier. Just look at two examples:
Captain Marvel -- FB has 15 threads; MC has 360.
Avengers Infinity War -- FB has 4 threads; MC has 473.
It's a mirage over there. 👍👍👍
share
Points well taken, but their general board is busier, even if it is for the reason you pointed out.
BTW, I like both boards for different reasons.
So are ye goin' our tonight for a pint, lad? I am shortly.
😎
I won’t miss him. That dude was a cocksucker.
shareTsk! Tsk! Your language lately....even though I agree with your point.
shareKsp, the user being discussed here was one of the antagonistic, obnoxious ones I was referring to that Stratego was dealing with.
shareOh, I thought it was the other one. I haven’t been on the board too much lately....Florida trip and this yorkie pup is going to give me a stroke! I didn’t have the “pleasure” of dealing with the RIP one named here. I don’t think I have...my mind is playing tricks on me lately...oh, well.
Edit: I did have a brief reply session with the RIP one about the Brando movies. My mind again...oh, well
For someone whose mind has been playing tricks, you still seem remarkably lucid & articulate when debating political/social issues.
shareLol sorry sweetpea. Please forgive my transgressions. I can get a little volatile sometimes. I will try to somewhat edit for the GOOD OF ALL!!👺
Seriously though, that dude was a cobbknobbler.
😀 Did you make that word up? It's hilarious!
share😂Believe it or not...I have heard that word in my wild and woolly days!🥤🥤🥤🥤 It is funny.
shareReally? It's new to me. Now I'm going to have to figure out a way to work it into a conversation 😀
shareYou wouldn’t...would you?🙀 I just did a search on the etymology of the word. X-Cops was a band...I think back in the ‘90’s. One of the members went by Cobb Knobbler.
“The Party's Over Lyrics: The name is Cobb Knobbler / And you're here with me now / I'll tell ya punks, the name's Cobb Knobbler / Satanic Nazi, Weenie gobbler / I was in the 'Nam, now I'm on the lam”
Cat, I wouldn’t use it in a conversation. You’re too much of a lady.
Oh 😱, I had no idea what it meant! 😂
shareWhew, glad I was around to clue you into a lexicon of the finer words. Cough! Cough!😬🙊
shareHa, yes, you saved me from what would undoubtedly be a lot of looks like this 😱
😂
Cat, you are well versed, well read so it’s understandable you wouldn’t be in tune with urban slang. I am laughing with you though....”Now I'm going to have to figure out a way to work it into a conversation.” Sweet!
share😂 This is still making me laugh. Although I do have friends who would laugh if I did work it into a conversation, and I probably will, but not with casual acquaintance 😂
shareLadies, ladies, I’m fairly certain cobbknobbler is an eloquent way of saying c*cksucker. I don’t know who these cop fellows are, but don’t let them ruin such a fun, illustrative word for you! 😏
shareWhat’s funny is Cat didn’t equate the two. I can picture her gasping if she used the word in a conversation with someone face to face and the response she would get. ☺️
shareStop! Omg I can’t with you two!! I’m dying😂😂🤣
shareDon’t give up on us! We’re worth saving...😉 Now where is that corncob?🌽
sharekspkap, I was crying I was laughing so hard last night, thank you! I hope catbookss is ok, she seemed upset and I felt bad. Sweet lady. You enjoy your day. I won’t give up on you, I’ll have you fluently speaking slang by the end of the year😁🍀
shareUpset? Hell no, I was laughing last night and I'm laughing again this morning 😂
But it's sweet of you to be concerned, so I thank you for that 😘
Well good, cause I sure was laughing too! You lovely ladies have an awesome day🍀✌🏻
shareWhodda thought this thread would take *this* turn? 😂
We all got a good laugh, and that's a good thing! I owe ya 😘
You have a great day too, sweet thang. Happy St Pat's! 🍺🍀
Cat, with this crazy bunch it’s no surprise when we veer and go off the rails! Thing is we get lost and completely forget the OP! Whee! Whee! Whee! And all the way home as that damn pig is saying in the silly Geico tv ads while hanging his spinner out the window. 🤔Now what were we discussing....mind tricks again🤯?
shareNo kidding! But I never expected it to happen in this particular thread 😄
It gets bonus points for a new vocab word!
Now repeat after me!
Cob Knobbler!🌽
Cob Knobbler🌽
Cob Knibbler.....🌽....Uh oh! Mind tricks again! I’ve got an excuse due to my many decades of imbibing....pickled the brain you see....🥤🥤🥤🥤
Back at ya! You is forgiven! 😘 Yeah, corncobknobbler is much cleaner....but, then I won’t be able to gnaw on an 🌽 without thinking about and envisioning....eww!
shareI like you !
share
Word on the street is that he was hownos's sock.
😎
No way
honows shoots straight
Nope. Completely different writing style and topics, for starters. Orson was definitely not Hownos.
shareI'm not surprised he's left, in view of the shitty behaviour that plagues this site. One only needs to peruse this thread alone to see how hateful and rude people can be.
Maybe if we were all a bit nicer to one another he wouldn't have felt so compelled to delete his account.
I came here after experiencing nastiness at other sites (and before anyone says that I must be the problem, it wasn't only me who experienced the nastiness, it was the whole rotten tone and attitudes of these forums that bugs me - there's a lot of bullying), and you and ShogunofYonkers seemed nice. Reading the stuff above, ironically on a thread where we're meant to be expressing sympathy for a poster (who I suspect left because of similar nastiness), my eyes are now open, sadly.
Oh woe is me : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilZPZawbw5w

Word on the street is he was hownos's sock.
😎
We don't have socks here. The mods don't tolerate it. You must be confusing the place with The Dump. 😊😊😊
shareOrson was banned, after two prior warnings, for repeated, profane flaming of other MovieChat members.
There is no evidence that he was a sock puppet account of any current or past member.
😎
Thanks for letting us know.
He was rude to me, but nothing worse than anything I've had from other posters. I certainly didn't make a complaint.
To be honest, I felt bad for him. He seems angry and bitter about something.
Perhaps he will return. Sometimes people take a break from the wild and crazy movie chat board universe.
😎
He called me a "hypocritical scum" after i said the new zealand terrorist should've gone down to middle east and shot at isis members instead of killng innocent muslims, then he deleted his post when i responded, i think he had misunderstood what the word meant XD
shareProbably changing his socks.
share
