This is a great site and a rich resource; I try to visit the board every day... where is WyreWizard ??

Things seem good here. And thanks for the link to my site on your links page (and your link to Kester Pelagius's page as he is a good guy).

Roger that, both you and Derf (and some others - I'm starting a list), like it when I am either angry or anguished.

Hey, I just said I liked the way you describe your anguish and pain. I seems you let loose a bit more on the reviews for horrible movies to exaggerate their effect. My wife laughs at me when I describe my various physical aches and pains to her because I do the same type of thing. It's not the pain itself I'm laughing at; it's just the imagery. I'm an English teacher (translation: word nerd), remember. All them simile and mettyfor thangs is danged funny!

My apologies for taking so long to do that.

Well Andrew,
In all of my 7 years here, the site has never been better.

Remember, I've been around here when you were deployed and there were NO reviews for months.
So, I'd have to say that you're currently doing just fine.

I would like to see more of your posts in the Random Thoughts section.
Some good ol' fashion hatemail and your responses to them would also be good for The Mailbag section as well.

And what about the TV Shows section?
It's been badly neglected.

If I write up a review for a Star Trek TOS episode, would you post it there?
(will I have to wait 3 years for you to do it? I'm kidding!...LOL!)

Raffine · September 07, 2007, 03:41:44 PM

I can only echo everyone: this is by far the best-run forum I've participated in, and it's chock-full of the best-humored, knowledgeable, and friendliest folks I've encountered on the web. Some weeks I may only have time to post a wisecrack or two but I read everyone's comments and dole out phantom 'karma' religiously.

I always enjoy the reviews and also spent years reading them before ever venturing into the forum. I agree the most painful ones can be the most entertaining the most the fun to read. They also have softened the blow a bit when I've been inspired to watch some of the worst of the worst films reviewed here.

The only suggestion I can come up with is perhaps a child page for 'Classic Bad' movies, say, up to the 1970's. It makes me a bit sad to see Burgomaster's wonderful threads on stuff like THE DUNGEON OF HARROW and RC's tributes to the glory of oscure blaxploitation films disappear so quickly. Traffic there might get really slow, though. Just a thought.

I have been wanting to post a few more TV show episodes, but to do that I have to skip over a movie review. My biggest limiter these days is time. I will definitely try to get any submitted TV show reviews posted. I'm trying to keep this pace and post a submitted review every month.

There should be a new random thought up this weekend. Well, at least they are aptly named.

None necessary, I rarely do anything to promote my site anyway.

More bad TV shows would be cool, but I understand the time contraints (my site is going into slowdown mode thanks to grad school exams and an extra job I took) There are tons of Ultra Man shows, terrible Star Treks, Manimal, Beastmaster series, 1970's Spiderman, and lots of other crap just waiting to be torn apart.

I've been part of an online Star Trek community for over 7 years now, but the decline of Trek has taken its toll. Where once the forum was a hopping place where everything under the sun got discussed and we had all sorts of regular games, contests, newsletters and the like, its pretty dead these days. So I ventured forth, trying to find a new place to hang out. A daunting task as many places are not overly welcoming of newcomers and/or they're just filled with morons. My first two stops were places I had been registered at for some time, but posted very little at: here and the BMMB. Since this forum hadn't been upgraded yet and was still using the old style, which I really did not like, I tried hanging out over at the BMMB. Now, those folks are a bunch of funny, smart and knowledgable people, but I just didn't feel like I was fitting in. Then Andrew upgraded this place and you haven't been able to keep me away, even with the threat of legal action!

To make my long story slightly longer, this is a great forum filled with great people. No one here is on an ego trip and there are no cliques that divide the membership. Now I hang out here more than I do any other place. Andrew has done a lot to foster a sense of community in the Bad Movie world, both with readers and writers.

Here! Here!

Like Shadow...I too posted occasionally over at BMMB...but didn't fit in too well either...I think they thought I was too much of an oddball...of course,I was usually 3 sheets to the wind....and babbled random nonsense. Still babble...only I'm sober now! Dam. I'm babbling again! Dammit!
oh well....
This really is the best site with the best people on the web!!!

PS- WW posted in "Bad Movies" on Sept. 6...asked a qustion about a Christopher Reeve movie-Skaboi helped him out...and he left. I gotta spooky feeling he'll be back...
