I liked to Google search movies and go to images to find screenshots, I would only be able to tell if I would like it by the picture quality. So I was looking for images from Hideous! I saw a picture Andrew had on it that had a censor bar, I clicked it, read it, laughed, read what websit it was from and what do I find? Reviews!!!! Hallelujah I have been saved! Thank you Badmovies.org!
I think I was reading the Sydney Morning Herald online and they had a link on one of the blogs. I really can't remember now.
Thru Menard.

Who knew that writing 'For a Good Time, Contact Andrew' on a men's room stall would actually work?

I knew it was way past my bedtime. :buggedout:
You guys are perverts! :bouncegiggle:
I found this site way back in the year 2000.
I was working at my old job were they allowed internet surfing.
To tell you the truth, I forget how I actually stumbled across this site. I have an excellent memory but for some reason, how I found this place eludes me. It wasn't a Google search because I don't think Google existed back then. All I remember is that I found it while at work.
(that's gonna bug me...not remembering how I found this site)
Anyway, I started reading the reviews and then joined the forum immediately thereafter.
The rest is history! :smile:
Hard to believe I've been hanging around here and annoying the p**s out of Andrew & everybody else for 8 years!
I followed a link from Stomp Tokyo. I have no idea what led me to ST in the first place. Probably a google search for info on some movie. The first review I read here was The Beast of Yucca Flats. This was back in summer of 2004. I joined the forum but lurked for the better part of 2 years before posting much.
Searching for B-movies on a search engine. Found clips here of ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS and ANGRY RED PLANET. Then discovered the "messageboard" now "forum".
With a Ouija board.

I was looking for info on

Aye...twas several long days into a journey at sea when de crew spotted something on de horizon. Dat be Andrew.
Actually I honestly think I was reading something in wrestlecrap's forum and someone mention the site.
I think I was looking up a b-movie on Google or something and I found the site and decided to join.

I really have no idea. I was either looking for a certain movie review, or maybe I did a search on B movie reviews. As soon as I found the forum, oh yeah, I was prattling on like nobody's business.
I can't remember for sure, but it was probably one night when I was looking for info on some old movie. It was probably about the same time I found The Astounding B Monster (which is regrettably still there but with no new content since 2006).
I just had Badmovies in my bookmarks for a few years and checked for new reviews once in a while. I started lurking on the Phorum about 5 years ago, and finally decided to post something and hey, it's history now.
I was wasting time at work, looking for some bad movies that I had not yet seen, and came across this site along with a couple others. I read the reviews at several sites, most of which are gone now or at least not regularly updated. I avoided the message board for a long time, just reading the reviews. Then I finally started reading the posts and decided to join in the fun. Oddly, I think one of the first reviews I read was for the movie that is being advertised at the top of my screen right now: Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter. Still haven't seen the movie, though.

I'd also like to see it as it was one of the last films banned by our beloved Censor Board before they went down the toilet of history. :teddyr:
I don't remember exactly why and how, but first I hit a post in the forum . Someone was asking for the title of a movie with teenagers whose uncle turned into a zombie and they needed an antidote to rezombify him. That really got me hooked, that someone actually enjoys these kinds of movies, especially since I just got the very DVD as a present a couple of days earlier.
Wow, lemme think about this one. I know it was 1999, cuz that's when my friends and I started our original b-movie review site "The H.O.P.E.L.E.S.S.". I'm pretty sure that my friend Mike, who put the original site together, did a web search for b-movie sites so he'd have something to put up in the page's links section. I'm 70% sure that that was how I was introduced to the Holy Grail. Fortunately my face hasn't melted off yet, but maybe there's a 10 year delay on that... :teddyr:
In case anybody found this forum while doing a Google search for the terms 'penis' or 'p***y', and discovered this site in that search due to the inordinate and wanton use of those words on this forum...
...you are welcome. :teddyr:
"the ghoul" told me about it at an otherwise boring party.
Followed a link from the IMDB while looking for a review of CEMETARY MAN. Saw many of my other favorites were reviewed here. Then I noticed the forum link...

Same here.
Believe it or not I was running from a rabid mutant gator (don't even ask why I was in a sewer) when my flashlight went out. Now if you've never been in a small confined space underground without any light let me tell you it gets pretty scary lonely in the dark. That's when I heard this grating sound and a voice shouting down from above, "If you want to live come with me!"
I didn't know it at the time but that was Andrew. He was carrying two sticks of dynamite, a shotgun, and a dead chicken on a rope. Actually, now that I think about it, I never really did find out what Andrew was doing hunting gators that day. But he pulled my proverbial bacon out of the fire that day and I've been hanging out with him and his crew here ever since.
Then there was that time we all went to this crazy strip club slash bar and grill out in the middle of the Mexican desert. . .
:bouncegiggle: :wink:
If I remember right, I think that there was a link to a review on here on IMDb that I was checking out in terms of a particularly terrible movie.
From that point on I was hooked.

I'm more puzzled about just what Andrew was doing with the dead chicken on a rope. :teddyr:

You throw the chicken into the room in front of you to check for monsters. If something bites it, then you know a monster is in the room.

First I found the address for "Stomp Tokyo" in "The Radio Times Book Of Science Fiction" in 2002. . Later, I clicked on a link within one of their reviews and found the review for "Krull" and went into the reviews index. I barely noticed the forum until circa 2006 when I became a lurker and more recently a (barely) contributing member.
I thought it was google but now that you all mention the bathroom stall and I do have IBS that might of been where! :lookingup:

Wow, almost the same story as me! 8 years ago, internet-friendly job, killing time, read reviews, can't remember exactly how you started, etc.

I was looking for a review of the original Dawn Of The Dead and bumped into this site. I was reading the reviews for a about a month or two and decided to join the forum.
Or is that the truth?
I actually found it when I needed help fighting C.H.U.D. here in NYC. Worst than roaches.
Searched something along the lines of "B Movie Lists". Bam, found myself here. I rather enjoy it :smile:
I found it very soon after we got our first "good" computer -- one with the internet -- back at the end of 1998/beginning of 1999. I know I was looking specifically for everything/anything on Plan 9.
I too went to "Stomp Tokyo" at first, but kept coming back here because everyone is so dang chatty & interesting -- Jeez/10 years --
Somehow, somewhere along the way, I lost my standing & had to re-enter everything. I think when we changed computers. So that number of posts at "989" or whatever it is now, should really be at least doubled.
peter johnson/denny i've been here longer than that!!
