Every once in a while it's great to have a thread about how much we appreciate this board and the stellar roster of posters it boasts. This is the greatest board in the history of the interwebz. It's the only one to which I feel such a personal attachment that I actually take the time to bitch at people who threaten to disturb its sanctity. On any other board, I just ignore bullshite unless of course someone is trashing my home board. Then it's go time!

quote:
Other reasons this board is awesome: muppet, psych, myth, Freaux, baloo, etm, jamhon, cough, flair, pectus, superior, stuckintexas, leauxgen, coco, vilma, landshark, Zamoro, godfather, fury, kafka, countingtiger, h town, sophandros, slo, ipod, obudan, tduece, caterpillar, vor, acre, beast1, ajf, the tyger's, sg, ala, green chill, bayou, glaucon, cad, tulanetiger, rondo, dab, fletch, tiger,froman, filmmaker, wg, scruffy, the limited number of females that post here, etc. Order don't matter.

I'm gonna ignore the "order don't matter" part and go ahead and celebrate: FIRST ROW BITCHES!! HAHAHA! Suck it, peasants! BANANADANCE!

On a serious note, I'd like to add to this heartwarming circlejerk by saying that the people that post here make this board awesome. When I'm cooped up in the office, or up too late working on stuff like I am now and just need to take a brain break, you guys are a great group to hang out with. We come from many different walks of life and backgrounds but this board allows me to just clown around or have some great intellectually-stimulating conversations just being myself, because that's what I am IRL. Just a goofy lighthearted guy who occasionally likes to talk about some deep shite every now and then.

There are posters here that are funnier than I've ever been, others who are smarter or cleverer, others who know more and are better critics of movies, TV, and literature than I am, others who are better writers than I could ever hope to be, and many who fall into a few or all of those categories. I'm just glad to be a part of this great thing that you ladies and gentlemen have made so great.

I really like this paragraph because it makes me see that movies are the stepping stones that make us have the neat discussions. So it's not really about the movie we're discussing but more about what we are trying to say and where we are coming form in our discussion, and who we are discussing it with. And all the creativity within that.

It's a synergy. And movies/tv are just the catalyst.

P.S.> seeing the M/TV Board familiars on other boards is similar to seeing your teacher in a store and not at school. It's just weird sometimes.
