I came by this site by accident. Just trolling through the internet looking for interesting things to read about movies.

After finding Mofo it dind't take me long to sign up, after reading only a couple of posts actually. My first impressions is everybody rocks! Minus a couple of individual. My opinion after being here a good while now is different, its even better then I first thought!

O.K sucking up is over, what do you people really think of me? Don't be shy, spill, be as honest as you want (I'm asking for trouble aren't I? :rolleyes: ) Am I boring? Annoying? Do you want rid of me? :( You could be nasty but watch it, I might cast a spell on you if you did. 'Hint, hint'

What's everbody elses first impression here? What did you first think of the others when you first cross paths? What about now?

Please, please, please, keep the bi***iness to a minimum. I know Silver Bullet and Sexy Celebrity are the main culprits. ;D Try to be good boys.

I'm a very quiet 'gal'. I'm like the predator, slowly sneaking up on its prey.

Thank you for saying I'm nice, ditto to you. We obviously don't cross paths much but my opinion is your a friendly individual too.

s*it, Sorry

I'm not very feminine anyway so consider calling me a guy a compliment. Being called 'Cousin IT' would also be fine. :D

I'm more rounded.

Hopefully a bit larger than your average bar of soap as well or I might have to start worrying...

You know, you could know a lot of guys thanks to a bar of soap. If it drops.

THEN: Argumentative and arrogant. A know-it-all.
NOW: Argumentative and ultra-conservative, but also compassionate and eager-to-please. A hopless romantic.

SEXY CELEBRITY:
THEN: Obnoxious, female and over-the-top. An attention seeker.
NOW: Introspective, loveable and mild-mannered. A gentleman.

HOLDEN:
THEN: Intelligent, witty and hilariously-tactless. The perfect jerk.
NOW: Amazingly passionate, extremely clever and needlessly-secretive. An enigma that I hold in the highest of regards.

MARY LO:
THEN: Clever [if at all convoluted] and site overkill. A witty newbie that wouldn't stick around.
NOW: Subtly secretive though wonderful company. A semi-genius.

JRS:
THEN: An annoying double-posting hack.
NOW: An annoying pointless-thread-starting hack.

MONKEYPUNCH:
THEN: Manic-depressive and self-victimising. A pathological whiner.
NOW: Beautifully talented, brutally honest and totally indispensable. An underrated MoFo treasure.

LORDSLAYTAN:
THEN: A psychotic anti-youth hypocrite.

More by request.

I like the way you presented that Matt, please allow my copying of your style. You know the expression, imitation is the highest form of buggery.

YODA:
THEN: An insufferable boor who would argue for arguments sake.
NOW: An incredibly intelligent individual who has more integrity than most people I’ve ever known.

THE SILVER BULLET:
THEN: A snob who had a firm belief in his superiority over everyone. A person who looked for reasons to be insulted.
NOW: A gifted person at the beginning of an exceptional life and who is compassionate with what he believes in.

SEXY CELEBRITY:
THEN: An attention seeker who was flamboyant and funny.
NOW: A tortured man with a heart the size of Texas and a wit as sharp as a razors edge. My best male MoFo friend.

ANIKO:
THEN: I have always loved this gal. Warm, loving, and passionate.
NOW: Just about a perfect woman. Class, beauty, and a deep-rooted, very real, sweetness.

CAITLYN:
THEN: One helluva beautiful woman who would go fifteen rounds if provoked.
NOW: Incredibly intelligent, patient, and a true friend. She is definitely someone you can always count on.

NOW: Goofy, sweet, and kind of silly, yet so very smart and professional.

JRS:
THEN: A sensitive virgin who lives with Mom.
NOW: A person who really desires to be well liked and tries his hardest to be kind.

MONKEYPUNCH:
THEN: A neurotic individual who was even touchier than me.
NOW: An exceptional artist who is a hairs width from realizing his dreams.

HOLDEN PIKE:
THEN: A master of movie knowledge. Somewhat rude and scathing, but in a way that is forgivable because, even if his sharp tongue is aimed at you, it’s just too damn funny to be completely insulting.
NOW: Um, still see him that way.

JRS:
THEN: A sensitive virgin who lives with Mom.
NOW: A person who really desires to be well liked and tries his hardest to be kind.

1. Yes I am a virgin and live with my mom (Have to and proud to.) :D

2. Oh , there is no desire to be well liked for I am, by plenty of people.....enough of people to make me happy. I am the kindest person I know. I don't try for there is no need to.

JRS:
THEN: An annoying double-posting hack.
NOW: An annoying pointless-thread-starting hack.

Yadda Yadda Yadda LOL!! I got your point. :cool:

Yoda
Before: Ambitious, but very inexperienced. Sheltered and oblivious to anything other than his point of view. Like a go-kart that could only stay on the fixed-track in the middle of the speedway.
After: Closest online friend. I've had a countless amount of damn great late night conversations with this man. I regret the times I'd rag on him with Mark (zweeedorf) and Steve at school. I consider him like an online brother. Incredibly smart and has a heart in his brain.

The Silver Bullet
Before: Really didn't have much of an opinion. Thought he was a cool kid from downundah.
After: Pretentious and full of himself, but for all the right reasons. A well of ambition tapped at such an early age. You're going places, guy.

Holden Pike
Before: Knows his **** and knows it well. A jerk, but for all the right reasons.
After: Gotta respect.

JRS
Before: Casual movie goer, no qualms with this feller.
After: Same.

Other than that...don't really know anyone too well, I've been gone for a while.

Thanks, y'all. I never felt like I fit in here until just recently, and it's good to hear that I am appreciated. But I am still a manic depressive, Self Victimising, touchy individual, let's not kid ourselves.

me, I think of all of the MoFo's my opinion has changed most on Yoda. I always thought he was arrogant, obnoxious, and a deluded right-wing pigeon. Now, I respect him for having the guts to stand up for what he believes in, doing the research to back it up, and being an all around good person.

Pretentious and full of himself...
Unfortunately, one must disagree with one.

Of course one must. If one were the type of person to use the word "one" as a pronoun. ;)

I banked twenty thousand dollars today, Mary. What the f_ck did you do?

Mary Loquacious

11-12-03, 02:42 AM

Hey, Mary, I banked $20, 000 today. What'd you do?

I engaged in pointless masturbation. And I went to see The Matrix Revolutions. But I repeat myself.

So, you win. :D

Tell us more. I've not run across you very often. Would you opposed to a questionnaire?

Mind you, it will be me writing said questionnaire, so temper your response accordingly.

Revenant I have seen some real ideas come from you, and you seem like and intelligent likable person you got me thums up...well if they werent typing right now. Now I ask a favor of everyone else... I know i am not as knowledgable as the Veterans here but if you would all give me and idea of what you think of me so far that would be cool. But if it means anything to you i prefer constructive critisism, it makes it easier to fix a problem if you look at from a positive aspect :D !

Silver Bullet: An overgrown prick, who deserved a serve kick in the pants for being so good and bragging about it and a person who was too big for his boots

Now: Ive worked out his boots were just way too small for him, I think i may have been narrow sighted (but hey who could of blamed me), now he is a toleratable prick with great knowledge and a person I hope makes it.

Caitlyn:
Great from the start and has only been more and more respected as time goes by

Yoda: Bible bashing, stuck up, genius with computers but all round nice guy. (once again my narrow sightedness)

Now: A passionate christian, determined, still a good computer man and helpful, he lost the stuck up part over time.

Holden: Start: Not alot

Middle: DAMN FRIGGIN CURIOUS i wanted to know more about the mystery man but always dodged the questions

Now: Ive given up and just know the man could tell you the colour of a grain of sand forty minutes into a movie forty years old.

Sir Toose

12-09-03, 06:59 PM

From all the nice replies I take it I'm not considered another Django? I so hope not, nor hope to intend to ever become too Django like.

Sir Toose if you want to give me a questionarre I'm game. How about a universal one for everyone to reply to?

Oh, okay. I think I will.

Now:

I used to think Golgot was a windbag. Now I KNOW he's a windbag... but a cool guy too. I like trading points with him... I never fail to look at at least something in a different way when we're done. He's a natural teacher.

Golgot

12-09-03, 07:28 PM

Golgot

12-11-03, 10:35 AM

Ah what the hell. I'm in a procrastinating mood....and i've clocked up about 6 months here now...so i guess i'll jump in and say what i thought/think of my mofo kin....

Yoda
B4: insufferable right-wing creationist living in a conservative bubble of Berkleyist (philosopher) self-fulfilling pseudo-logic that backed up his own world-view

Now: A much-more likeable guy than i first realised, who is very fair with his desire to inform himself and question his and others thoughts, makes this site possible, and is much less dogmatic in his interpretation of his faith than i first assumed. And has insufferable right-wing views :p ;)

Piddzilla
B4: Good right-on character who likes to take the "fight" to people in the same way as me ;).

Now: All of the above, and an expansive lover of film, with an amazing grasp of another language, and a playful way of keeping Mofo life ticking over.

Caitlyn
B4: A little bit conservative perhaps. A little bit soft and sappy maybe, but sweet with it.

Now: A very supportive, fair, informed, and questioning person with a great set of life-ideals. Another big-heart that Mofo and the real-world needs.

Sir Toose
B4: Gruff, irritable, liberal-slamming conservative.

Now: Open-minded, gruff, irritable strong-minded man who's not as straight-forward as he'd like to imply, and would only poke you in the eye if you deserved it.

Lord Slaytan
B4: Same category as Toose. An axe to draw lines with and a short fuse.

Now: A man that deserves a crown for funneling a lot of stuff through that frown. Can still charge the gate, but knows how to turn around if he's just denting his brow ;) - He's got a real feel for the movies. And he's given up cigarettes! What can i say, a better man than me ;)

Mary Loquacious
B4: An eloquent and unrepentant punk-fan with a plan

Now: Nothing's changed but her views have ranged further and you know she's a learner. Where are you Mary Lo?? Missing your crazy glow.

Silver Bullet
B4: Arrogant and needlessly snipey little Aussie.

Now: Ah, what the hell, he's grown on me.

MonkeyPunch
B4: A rampant punch of remonstrance.

Now: Much as above, but with more shades to his character and the skills to to draw them in. Fellow liberal kin ;)

Django
B4: Eloquent and needlessly persecuted liberal.

Now: Dogmatic and block-headed liberal that basically deserves what he gets

Annie
B4: Didnt know much. Seemed very sweet.

Now: Still don't know much. Still seems very sweet and sensitive.

Nebbit
B4: Crazy aussie with a big bag of smilies

Now: erm, similar, but with saracasm that's more familiar, and a whole swathe of love and wisdom behind those dancing smiles. ;)

Sunfrog
B4: Dedicated Bush-basher.

Now: Fact-less thrasher who's a funny little thing, but more at home being simplistic than realistic. :p

Nikki
B4: A woman with a laugh you could hear from Sydney to Perth.

Now: A bright young minx whose stillettos could teach you a thing or two ;)

Steve
B4: A standard-model liberal me-thought.

Now: A questioner with many facts up his sleeve (and some views that displease me ;))

MinionTV
B4: A fellow late-night wonderer with a wicked and wandering sense of humour.

Now: A musician to boot with some good pondering roots - and that humour still flits through all of his muses, and it don't seem to matter if he's blue or enthuses.

Blibboblib
B4: Erm, a man with a name i'll never spell right

Now: Another brit who chooses laughs over fights, and isn't afraid of a chance or a fright. Another delight.

Holden
B4: Amusingly cranky and amusingly dry (erm, or not ;)) film fanatic

Now: Nothing if not consistant ;) - and an invaluable assistant to my vague memory for names :)

Sexy Celebrity
B4: Cheeky chappy supreme.

Now: Net dallier supreme as well, with pictures to make other addicts cream-themselves, and a heart as big as his collection's swell.

Alright, i really should do some work, so i'm afraid people who only duck-n-dive into the word-hives i spend most time in don't get a look in to what this windy-wonderer thinks of you. If i didn't like you, i'm sure you knew b4 ;)

Let's hope many more people wash up on these shores (if they're not frightened off by the green dots round our doors ;))

Bah, erm, anyone want to pay me to stop rhyming?

EDIT: Argh - knew i'd forget some people - ah well, you haven't been here much recently r3, hanging around in the dial-up dimension. And Beale's on holiday. Those're my excuses anyway ;)

Beale the Rippe
B4: Slightly too fond of the plastic pop culture that Hollywood specialises in, but enthusiastic about all things filmic.

Now: A thoughtful character never-the-less, whose moral impressions i enjoy prodding ;)

r3port3r66
B4: A constant and incisive questioner. Seemed cold tho coz of the question-for-a-question approach.

Now: Another big heart and giving soul. Always re-assessing his role and with the patience to cajole (in a friendly way ;))

Ah, better pre-empt Silver now and say: Blow jobs all round. ;) (altho of course, now he'll say: Perhaps if i read threads like this i'd say that. Tho actually it sounds nothing like me - or some such thing *sigh* you just can't win with some people ;))

Don't you love these "popularity" threads?

Our desire for pats on the back probably goes back to Valentine's Day in elementary school where we all count how many valentines we each got in our box. Remember those days? You knew your rank and file in the classroom based on the number of valentines you received.

Happy Valentine's Day, everybody! :rolleyes:
