Mine:

I was really p!ssed off that they had the temerity to give only two weeks' notice, but to *then* destroy the boards earlier than they'd said, was the very.last.straw. I went back late afternoon to copy info from several PMs that I needed, and everything was GONE.

I just signed up here, after having looking at all of the alternatives I'm aware of. I like this place best. Probably will also sign up for TMDb, and PreviouslyTV, and thus far have only seen a few people whose names I recognize (either here or the other two sites), which makes me very sad. I feel a real loss for not having any way to communicate with the many virtual friends I've met and discussed things with over the years on the IMDb boards, and can only hope they make their way here, as I did.

Many thanks to Jim for taking on the daunting task of creating this site, including the previously existing threads from a good number of the top IMDb boards (film and TV), which has made me feel more at home and I'm sure I'm not alone on that. MUCH better than starting with blank slates on the forums.

I'm with many others who will avoid IMDb, and Amazon. You don't just destroy a significant long-time community this way without a backlash.

Anyone remember Whirlybirds?
posted 2 years ago by GlenEllyn (9538)
It's about two guys who run a helicopter charter service. It ran for three seasons beginning in 1957. I remember watching this as a kid, although I couldn't have seen it's original run. I seem to remember it being on Saturday afternoons or thereabouts.

Cheesy by today's standards, but to a young kid in the 60s it was pretty cool. It seems like they spent a lot of time searching for missing prospectors and the like. I can still hear the chirps of the chopper blades as "Chuck" and "P.T" landed the "bird."

Not on DVD that I know of, but easily found on YouTube.

(on the Sundays and Cybele board)

Sundays and Cybele is a masterpiece and one of the best films of all time. The screenplay is intelligently written, thought provoking and beautiful. The performances are exceptional. Krüger gives an amazing performance of a complex, compelling character who is deeply flawed but still sympathetic and believable. Gozzi is stunning and enchanting as the girl consumed by love and wise beyond her years. The film is wonderfully shot with a magnificent score. 10/10 and a must see.

My first post was a response to the user "Mint Berry Crunch" (who had 300 posts and hasn't done any in two years) about whether we thought the main character is gay or not.
