Title: What brought you to this forum?
Post by: RCMerchant on February 19, 2011, 04:57:09 AM
For me-my wife Tara Sue bought a computer.Before that-I knew zero about computers. I was an old school geek-going back to my Creature Feature and Famous Monsters childhood. When I did get online-I joined a site called Monsters Among Us-it crashed.Then The BMMB (Stomp Tokyo board),buncha stuck ups.No sense of humor. Real hardcore geeks. Argue about Highlander kinda geeks, Which is fine. Not for me-(OH I got banned from them-not sure why.I never-wellyeah-I went apes**t on line-but not against a person-I ragged a movie in plain languge. f**kin p***ys.)
I was looking for a nice forum fo the movies I like-B Movies-I was blown away when I found Andrew's labor of love. Micheal (PSYCHOTRONIC magazine)Weldon has nothing on our mighty leader. Im looking forward to a BAD MOVIES book. Howzabout it,Andrew"-I would buy it!
OK-back on topic-how did you find this site-and why did you decide to post on this forum? :question: Eh? Eh wha?

Saw a handwritten message on a men's room wall which read "For a good time call Andrew", along with some reference to a body part I can't post on this forum, followed by the website address. :tongueout:

I was looking for wav samples to fill out a song I was working on and made my way through the site.  Then like herpes, I just couldn't get rid of the place

I used to lurk here and read Andrew's reviews for years before I signed up and starting posting. I was a regular at the old Space: The Imagination Station's MB in Canada where I first talked with Andrew Kidd who I think gave me the first link I followed to this site. Anyways Andrew also posted at a place called Scifilm.org along with its webmaster Gerry and another old Badmovies regular named Chadzilla. Anyways I became a regular poster at Scifilm for years and I also posted at the IMDB and Sinister Cinema back in the day where I met a number of other like-minded posters, some who posted on nearly every other board. When Scifilm was closed down by Gerry, I tried several other places to post but none felt as right as badmovies.org (although I'm also a regular at Wormwood Chronicles Wormboard which totally rocks too IMO). Some went to the the monster kid Classic Horror forum, some to the Wormboard, some to Sinister whose board eventually went under. I've known several people from several boards and actually messaged Andrew for the first time at the IMDB. Later he'd also post at Scifilm. Chadzilla posted at both Scifilm and badmovies.org as did Flangepart, Trekgeezer, Menard, Gerry and several others. Eventually allhallowsday, another old Scifilm regular came over here and once I started seeing posts from RC, Raffine, Rev. Powell, Ash, Mofo, Susan and several others, I thought this place was pretty cool and I've been posting here pretty much since.

I found links to this site while reading movie reviews on other sites.  I read the reviews here and I liked the RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE TO.. or RANDOM GRATUITOUS BREAST SHOT entries, as well as the "things I learned from this movie" insert which invited such silly commentary.  Great setup, so I decided to try my reviewing "skills" with this particular template.  Then I discovered lots of fun threads to comment in and have stuck around diligently since.

I was really into watching B-Grade horror movies (mostly inspired by MS3K) and I wanted to find a forum that I could share my love with.  One quick Google later, I found Badmovies.org, read some of the (amazing) reviews, and, about a month later, got up the courage to make an account.  Of all the forums I've been a member on, this one is the best. :thumbup:

I was always doing internet searches for reviews of "bad" movies, trying to decide what to see next.  And what NOT to see.  Didn't take long before I found this place  :teddyr:

I was looking up info on the movie Squirm after it popped up on Animal Planet's Most Extreme series and found my way here.  Then I lost the site for a couple of years and then rediscovered it when Andrew posted his The Being review on the site.  I officially joined in August of 2008.

I was living in Canada, married to a man who turned out to be a complete @rsehole.  I wasn't working due to no work visa, had no money, no friends, no way home for a long time and spent my days and most of my nights surfing the net.

I followed a link from, I think, an article about movies in the Calgary newspaper online.  I ended up having so much fun on here that I never looked back   :cheers:

Reviews of some crazy b-movies, I.E. Manos, Slugs, The Brain from Planet Arous..... :tongueout:
Also, something about free Root Beer and that horrible stench from South Africa.

I think it was from someone on another site called WrestleCrap, forget if it was an ad or a member who had posted about it.  That site revels in the bad characters and storylines of pro wrestling and has a movie thread dedicated to the b-movies reviewed here.  So I clicked the link, read some reviews and joined.

I was searching for different stuff on the movie Monster (aka Monstroid) and found and read the review here.  Then I lurked at the forum for a little bit and thought, "I'm home."

I was looking for B-movie sites one day in the summer of 2007 and stumbled across this place.  Started reading reviews, then posts in the forum, then I joined.  Never have looked back!

In the late '90s I was attending school at DeVry, and in the lab we had computers with internet access. Instead of doing my work, I would browse to this site and watch the ridiculous b-movie clips. In the late '90s, video clips were a rarity.

I then started making my way through all the reviews, and eventually found my way to the forum. I started posting, and in those days the forum was small enough that I could read every single entry posted.

I made some friends, and at some point Andrew asked for help proofing his reviews and I was one of the people he picked.

I've never been a very prolific poster, but I've been here for over ten years, and will be around for as long as the site is in existence. I really do think this community here is something special; glad to have met you all, other statements of good will...

I got into B-movies properly around 3 years ago, and when amassing my collection and planning the Edinburgh B-Team, this place was a mecca for me. I've tried other b-review websites, but the reviews on here explain the films in exactly the way I watch them: What ridiculous s**t happens, is there gratuitous violence/boobs, is it actually amazing or dull? When choosing films to show to people who aren't into these kinda films, these factors are massively important. The Edinburgh B-Team would not still be running if it wasn't for this place!

So whilst I've used the website for a number of years, I've only appeared on the forums the last few months as I didn't realise it existed. But I am glad I have, as not only is this a friendly and fun community (somewhat of a rarity in online geekdom), but y'all know what you're talking about.

Go you guys!

The "What Was That Film" board is exactly what brought me here. I was trying to remember a film I had seen as a kid that turned out to be Psychomania. The board had my query figured out within an hour, and I figured that a board of such impressive geekdom deserved a look-see. So I gave the site a good look-see, generally liked what I saw, and have been posting habitually ever since.

One night I just happened across the site and read some of Andrew's reviews.  I laughed hard, repeatedly, and then I checked the forum out.

The manners of the place impressed me.  This is easily the most friendly forum I've ever seen on the internet, and I've lurked a lot of forums in 15 years.

That is the usual result of reading Andrew's reviews: they make you laugh and then make you want to see the film ~ my reaction to his RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A MORON! in The Spirit actually made me watch the thing and pay for it too.  :teddyr:

I love reviews of bad movies. I was googling to find more reviews so I had something to do in between Nostalgia Critic videos. I found the reviews on this site and read up. Then I found the big "Forum" button on the top. I started out as "Keeper Of The B-List" and informed people on the "Bad Movie" forum of bad new films coming out...... Still nobody told me what they think of Raging Bull II. (YES. It IS real!)

Eventually I looked into "Off Topic Discussion", now I freaking LOVE this place!

What brought me to this forum...
I do a lot of messed up, noisy, 80's style, industrial music.  I was looking for a source for B movie sound clips beyond me having to rent movies and pull the sounds off the DVD's (or back when i first discovered this place, VHS tapes).
This place was beyond my wildest dreams !  AND it fostered in me a greater love for bad cinema in the process !!!

I love old dopey science fiction movies.  So while surfin' around reading various reviews on different sites, I came across this site.  I started reading Andrew's reviews, and once I had read his review on "The Giant Claw", I knew this was the place I wanted to spend time.  I joined, lurked in the backround for awhile, and then started to post when I felt brave enough. 

I have been here since Nov 2009, and gotta say this is a "fun" site and you guys and gals are the best!  :teddyr:

A worm brought me here. Actually, it was a white worm. Looking for film reviews of "Lair of the White Worm" on the world wide web, I saw that Andrew had done one for this website. I thought I should post my thoughts. I registered. And now that I'm here . . . ?
