moviechat's growth


My oh my, how this board has grown! I think this is probably the most active discussion forum, since the shut down.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. There are really great people here with a wealth of film knowledge. 👍

reply

I'm enjoying being here.

Help us Jobiwan kenobi. Your our only hope.

I'd love to see some stats, to see trends, and when (to speculate why)

Is it possible billhicksfan, that your milkshake brought all the boys to the yard?🤔

reply

What the fuck are you talking about?

reply

I was just being goofy sweetpea.

reply

Don’t bully him Froggie!

reply

😁I would never! I dig billhicksfan, he’s cool in my book.

reply

Bully!
😉

reply

Argh! You guys are bad for my self esteem. I just found out I’m irritating because I start my sentences with so and I mean. Now I’m a bully? I can’t win with you guys!!😫

reply

If we're bad for your self esteem that would make us the bullies...and you're one of us... and just like that now I'm confused!

You start your posts with 'so' and 'I mean?'
You are simply awful😡

'Can't win?'
I've yet to see you lose my friend😃

reply

Aww you sweet my dude. Also, I’m almost never serious just so you know.

reply

The mostly never serious sorts are always fine company

reply

😊

reply

I honestly couldn't understand

reply

I wasn’t trying to make sense, I was honestly just being a weirdo goofball.

reply

Et tu, Brute?

reply

😆oh the treachery!

reply

Great forum indeed

reply

I'd like to see more options like a search function for threads.

Just thought I'd throw that in there. I tried IMDbv2 and that place is a real troll haven. So glad I found this place I did lurk for a while though and joined when I saw politics was seperated and some of the trolls had left.

I like that the old movie and show boards were imported.

reply

Try googling "moviechat" and "_________" (whatever you want to search)

Not the most active for movies and tv, this site is about 90% politics. Which is a shame because it has a nice UI.

reply

That's hyperbolic! Politics is probably only 89.7% 'round 'ere.

reply

I can link to 3 blog sites with absolutely true statistics I just made up, that prove it's at least 89.85% which rounds to 90% !!!!!! Any data refuting my claims is just the lamestream media and their fake scientists pushing some agenda that makes no sense if you think about it but nevertheless is definitely true.

reply

Hollywood has become extremely political/neo-religious, so it's not strange that debate about Hollywood movies often deals with political/neo-religious topics.

Non-Western and East-European movies are not that political (Chinese movies are -sadly- becoming quite political too, though). The problem is that people are barely interested in them. Yesterday I posted the trailer of a Russian movie that looks very promising. Guess what? zero interest: https://moviechat.org/tt6087226/Koma

reply

Not true at all.

reply

That's just what I'd expect a Trump supporter to say!

reply

If this site was 90% politics, I couldn't stand to be here. I've found plenty of movie topics to talk about.

reply

The politics forum is linked in 2 places, one is right under General Discussion. There isn't a movie or TV forum linked prominently. Most posts on actor pages are politically motivated, many are outright hateful, some even use slurs. There are plenty of politically motivated posts in GD. So yeah, it's a high percentage.

reply

I wasn't challenging your percentage. It's just not why I'm on moviechat. And if people want to talk politics, those are probably good places to do it. I doubt you'll ever find me there.

reply

Same here. I never visit the politics board.

reply

I accidentally discovered this website three weeks ago. And was pleasantly surprised to realize that this is just the IMDB message board with all of the original posts migrated over.

reply

Thank goodness for happy accidents! Welcome.

reply

Not all of them but quite a chunk of them. IMDB forums have been gone nearly 3 years. I expected there would be way more traffic here tbh.

reply

Hope this site gets huge. Lots of great info and fun banter to be had here.
