Sadly, I don't have anything from RT saved. If we were warned about the site closing down ahead of time though, I probably would've saved some discussions. I do have a decent number of discussions on Corrie saved though.

He briefly came back. Claimed to have reformed himself. Then one day I (mildly, I'm sure ) teased him about some ridiculous thing he posted, he had a complete meltdown, and I don't think he returned after that.

As much as I'd love to believe that an aging German Volksmusik singer regularly graced our forums, it's a sad truth that it was just a brilliant alias someone used.



I'll just pretend it was the real guy, though. No harm, no foul.

I joined RT in 2007 after a Google search for a bootleg dvd of Dark Night of the Scarecrow led me to a thread on the forum. My screen name at the time was Bubba Ritter and my first conversation was with Vivacious J and a guy I've since forgotten.

Did anyone save the Rotten Tomatoes trading card that Evil Heino made for them? He showed up out of the blue on Corrierino and made me one which I can't find, sadly.

Speaking of Heino, I'm probably stating what everyone already knows, but I'm pretty sure all of them were BadLieutenant.

[Torgo]

Another poster I miss is max314, who adamantly defended The Matrix and each of their much-hated sequels as if they were the best movies ever made. I'd really like to know his thoughts about the upcoming fourth sequel.

I made this for him because he seemed to show up every time The Matrix came up in a discussion. Thankfully, he loved it:

As for Red, what an infuriating fellow. I regret pretty much every interaction I had with him or argument of his that I read because it was like being in quicksand: the longer I stuck around, the angrier I got and the harder it was to escape.

The one quote that stuck with me was when I said that Snyder's approach was not what I wanted from Superhero movies, to which Red replied that my "deficiencies as a movie watcher were not Snyder's concern". Fair point.

[John Dumbear]

[Torgo]

Fair point.Ugh, that reminds me of the "the leads are weak? You're weak" line from Glengarry Glen Ross. I'll forever picture Red as Alec Baldwin from that movie, but he's wearing Superman pajamas.

[John Dumbear]

There was a thread where posters were assigned a superhero. Red stated, "I'm King Kong". I chimed in saying, "I can see that. Big and strong, not too bright and can't get laid".

He never liked me after that.

[Jinnistan]

3 pages in and I still don't know who "phone" was.


I don't think Heino was BL, because I once got in a heady debate with BL over the Kennedy assassination, where he was going very hard in the paint for the then-recent Bugliosi book. Heino appeared to side with the cover-up narrative, citing my points about Jack Ruby. BL claimed to have been so disappointed with Heino for what he considered this lapse of reason. I'm not sure if BL was schizo enough to have done this as a ruse.


Also, I remember Gorb claiming to have met Heino at some point irl, saying that he wasn't an alias of another poster, but someone who was very bright and a "true artist". Or maybe that means that Heino was a Gorb alias. I don't know. I'm not a net shrink.

[Jinnistan]

More like Ed Harris in Aquaroos, all bark no bulge.


I think that makes Randy the Alan Arkin role.

[Jinnistan]

Then what about Evil Heino?
I assumed it was just Evil.

[Rockatansky]

I assumed Heino was just a guy doing a shtick. I'm pretty sure I saw him interact with BL plenty of times, and like JJ says, both seemed too well adjusted to pull that off.


(I will say that BL was one of those posters, like Izzy Black and Ergill, whose presence I enjoyed immensely in discussions but, despite them not being condescending or anything, I would hesitate to engage with at length. This was definitely insecurity on my part, but it felt like I was pulling up a little toddler-sized chair to the grownups table anytime I tried to get into a discussion.)



If you want real alias weirdness, did any of you ever stumble into that Dollywood thread in one of the subforums? It was one poster running a few dozen aliases having one long cryptic conversation between them. Creepy ****.

If it makes you feel better, Red disliked anybody who disagreed with him about any movie ever. He did have moments where he could nicely articulate the virtues of things he liked, but his awful personality made those moments short-lived.


I think RT collapsed before the whole toxic fandom discourse started, but exhibit A would be Red. I can only hope he chilled out a little after the forums died.

I was fascinated enough to try to read the whole thread, but never finished it. True rabbit hole. Every once in a while, he would start the whole thing over again with slight variations. In short, it was something about David Lynch doing a version of Wizard of Oz, with a mix of poetry (some of it not too bad) and extended dialogues between his various characters. Whenever someone would stumble in and say something, complimentary or not, he would pull out his Hannibal Lector persona and chase them off. Then it was back to the serenity of surrealism.

Or, maybe he knows Heino/Evil Heino personally and he did him that favor? Either way, his unexplained return was like a warm hug...followed by a stab in the back.

In short, he had multiple incidents of unprovoked harassment towards several users throughout the time I knew him, especially Jinnistan. He also made multiple attack threads on various people. Yoda wouldn't put up with him for long on this server.

[crumbsroom]

👀


lovesexy was a poster who was clearly not well. He claimed he was manic depressive, but he was also an *******. He was frequently a nightmare who derailed threads because he was angry people weren't talking about the movies he wanted to talk about. Even though he never actually had anything to say about the movies he wanted to talk about except for the fact that he had heard of them and had watched them and wanted everyone to know he'd seen them. He was deeply insufferable. So of course I kind of liked him. At least, until I didn't. As much as I could identify with a lot of his issues, there always comes a point where no matter how much you can empathize, you just run out of patience.


If I remember correctly, he very briefly joined the corrie. But no more than for a couple of weeks, if not days, and was never heard from again.



If I was a gambling man, I would wager he is no longer with us.

[SpelingError]

I don't understand why we're reminiscing on RT memories when we could be discussing Tarr or Tarkovsky instead.

[Wyldesyde19]

Reminds me of a fellow we had here named Zotis. He even made a thread attacking Yoda. Then he got banned. So when I makes jokes about people “going fully Zotis, you never go full Zotis!”, that is who I’m referencing.

Edit: there was actually more to it iirc.

If I remember correctly, there were a few times when he seemingly bragged about deliberately going off his meds. I'm perhaps being a bit insensitive here, but it made it hard to sympathize with him, especially given his other behaviour. I probably got along with him as well as one could (or at the very least wasn't one of his usual targets), but did find myself bracing myself for known trigger points (i.e. bring up Brian De Palma and expect a pages long rant, with the films he claimed to not take issue with changing during every iteration of said rant) and trying to post around it.

[Rockatansky]

On the other hand, he did give us one stone cold classic: "Take that cock!"

[crumbsroom]

If I remember correctly, there were a few times when he seemingly bragged about deliberately going off his meds.


I have a friend who has to take anti-psychotic medication, and because of its effects on him, I can get why someone would stop taking it. But the problem with lovesexy wasn't that he was mentally ill, it was that he was also a prick. To a lot of people. lYes, part of this was almost certainly due to his other problems. But part of it was also because he was an *******.



I hope he figured things out for himself. I hope he hasn't met the kind of fate I imagine for him. And I did sort of like him, legitimately. He introduced me to Ogroff after all. This is an important thing to do for someone like me.


But he was still an *******.

He went from a poster who I was always excited to read to one I wanted to punch in the face.

My last interaction with him was on the night of the Maple Leafs historic playoff meltdown against the Boston Bruins (and I believe he was from Boston). It was such a sporting embarassment even he offered me some condolences. Then he disappeared, and because I couldn't imagine not at least taking a few pot shots at my crappy team once my wounds healed, I just assumed he must have died. Like everyone else who has suddenly stopped responding to my posts has surely done over the years :shifty:

Also, Dreiser could be a dick, but I found his brand of dickishness to not be particularly antagonistic. He was also fairly supportive of my awkard attempts at film discussion, and could be nudged into making decent contributions often enough. I liked him. He was like a cranky uncle.

[Torgo]

But yeah, before dreiser's crankiness got the better of him, his love of TV and film - David Lynch and redheads in particular - made the forum a lot more enjoyable.

Hopefully somebody else can corroborate this.




What pisses me off is that I had a few dozen threads bookmarked from the old site but they just wiped everything out. I could understand not letting people post, but it really infuriated me that they just wiped out years worth of posting.


I've tried the Internet Wayback Machine but most of the links on there are broken.


I vaguely recall her leaving over the Auschwitz comment but it's been years now.

[MadMan_731]

I was once MadMan_731/MadMan after the name change, MadMan_7, and TheOmegaMan71. I started out in GD, moved to OT, went back to GD and then spent a lot of time in OT again before finally hanging out in GD for good before the site went down. My last thread there was a MST3K reviewing one that I enjoyed doing. I'll miss RT but I'm starting to move on and in probably another five years or so the memories will start to fade. Good times though.

[Rockatansky]

Eastern Promises came up in a thread, which reminded me of the time even David Cronenberg was creeped out by Fabfunk (for obsessing over Viggo's balls).

[Captain Terror]

Fab's review:

This will be a quasi-Spoiler- Viggo is in a bathhouse when two thugs come after him, and suddenly this barely R-rated movie becomes something that will make the MPAA sweat. Not only is it a totally brutal one-on-one fight with Viggo’s fists versus two guys with knives, but ol’ Viggo takes them down through about five to ten minutes of bare-knuckled brawling while COMPLETELY NUDE. And there’s no dodgy photography or editing in this- Viggo’s balls are flying ALL over the place. There’s one moment where he lifts his leg to deliver a roundhouse kick, and I could swear Aragorn’s scrote smacked me in the face about six times. If anybody remembers that totally rough naked shower fight in “Get Rich Or Die Trying”, this one is about twelve times more brutal. Van Damme would never agree to that sort of ball exposure, and he’d never deliver the kind of ass-kicking that results from it. Anyway, those who are expecting THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME from Cronenberg will have to settle for what amounts to an interesting experiment of sorts, and a further evolution of his shooting and editing style. There are several crane shots here, and he retains the same interest in the cold, exterior surfaces of personality-less cities, in addition to an engrossing, unusual story. Also, Viggo’s massive, hairy balls. If you use this, I am Fabfunk.

One of my biggest regrets is not asking Cronenberg about this during the Q&A when I went to see The Brood in a theatre.

What, this isn't a Killer Tomatoes sequel?

He's in prison right up the road from where my former biz partner works in NJ.


I've been pretty swamped at work but at some point I'll repost the whole Fabfunk debacle. What with his love for fancy hats, third rate porn stars and Viggo's huge swinging balls.

[John Dumbear]

Wonder if that one poster ever made it to third base with his sister. Name escapes me but he had an unnatural attraction to Jennifer Love Hewett. Also remember him blowing up on the board and never heard from again.

lol , his name just popped into my head, "Quizzical Witness". Damn, that was an odd dude.

[Kirstenwilliamson2]

Now that we are on the topic of nostalgia, I searched more ‘old things’ that existed on the internet. Do you guys remember the days where you had to disconnect so that your mum, dad, siblings, or any people in your house could make a phone call?? those times were legit hassle moments!

[MadMan_731]

I can still hear that godawful dial up tone sound haha.

[Rockatansky]

Wasn't he obsessed with Jennifer Connelly?

[MadMan_731]

:D

It was me. I was Morphy/Dwight back in the day, but I'm chill now. Anybody from The Black Lodge around here? Lab, Yalnif, ...Noir I guess.

I was a member too although I wasn't always around. I like to disappear from time to time.

[StuSmallz]

Madman. Are you same Madman that was on Kateland? I can't even find that forum anymore. Do you know what happened? Are there any other Kateland refugees around here? Other than you, no one here sounds familiar.

[John Dumbear]

Kateland looks to be "disabled".

[StuSmallz]

Madman. Are you same Madman that was on Kateland? I can't even find that forum anymore. Do you know what happened? Are there any other Kateland refugees around here? Other than you, no one here sounds familiar.Yeah, I used to post on Kateland some, but I don't think anyone knows exactly what happened there; I knew KE8 had some health problems, so he might have neglected to keep paying for that server as a result, but that's just speculation.

[Epitoooozy]

So who else is here from Kateland besides you and Madman? I was wondering if more are here after Kateland went down.

[John Dumbear]

I use to visit it upon occasion, just for the names. Never registered though, yet enjoyed reading the threads. Clever, created f**ckers, that bunch.

[SpelingError]

I barely ever posted there. It was only sporadically when RT would act up or when Corrie went down.

[StuSmallz]

So who else is here from Kateland besides you and Madman? I was wondering if more are here after Kateland went down.I think that's it, as far as I can remember; I am in a Discord server with a number of fellow forumers here though (including SpelingError), if you're interested in checking that out.

[MadMan_731]

I think I remember saving some of those pages for you for MS3TK. They were in the Google Cache for a while. Did you have chance to save them before it all went poof?

[Little Ash]

Pretty sure Kateland went down because K8 forgot to pay the bill. He also was kind of MIA for the past year or so. There was at least one or two past instances where it went down for like a week for that reason. Also at a time when K8 was pretty much absent from the boards. I vaguely remember at one point someone asked what would be involved with moving ownership of the boards over to someone else in order for full control and I think to pay the bills, but that wasn't possible with the forum platform.


For some reason just creating a new forum to migrate to wasn't something anyone suggested.


When it went down for the final time, I wasn't exactly surprised, but bummed partially because so much crazy, world news was happening.

[StuSmallz]

Yes, I think that's the one. Though it doesn't seem to be getting a lot of action. I thought we'd see some Kateland refugees there.

We have quite a few, under various name changes. The Victorian runs things. He is our leader, our shaman, our everything, the vishnu to our lotus.

The Victorian? Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in years. Probably from before the RT forums were nuked in 2017. Good to see him still around. I've known him for years - probably since the earliest days of RT-OT..

Little Ash. I remember you from OT. You have the same AV from way back when. I remember AVs more than Usernames, but you name is also familiar.

[Little Ash]

I do it for consistency. The username and AV go together.

Yes I did. Also there is some other forum that's split off from Kateland but I donno if they have any members.

[MadMan_731]

Kateland just came back, by the way: https://kingelessar8.forumchitchat.com/

[WHITBISSELL!]

Wow I get most of these references even though they're RT/GD-centric. Started loitering at RT in late 2001 then finally registered in March of 2002. Started out in GD then moved to OT then back to GD. When that went down moved to the Corrierino and when that was shuttered to Kateland. People started drifting away from there and it only left a handful of people and got kind of insular. Now I'm here.

If I had to pick an OT thread to have saved it might be the BigFlax one. Everyone would take turns mildly insulting him by listing reasons why he was boring. It was all silly fun and not at all bad but he still got his back up over it. I wish I could remember the name of that thread.

Hopefully he's doing well and still married to Flaxgirl. I liked him too. He was never snarky and I sort of felt bad when he got insulted by our jibes. They were mostly goofy and not even remotely plausible. But I guess he mistook so many people participating as a sign he was disliked and that wasn't the case.

[John Dumbear]

Flax hung out in RT-OT, so willing to bet his skin was thick.

[WHITBISSELL!]

Flax hung out in RT-OT, so willing to bet his skin was thick.Oh, yeah. That had to be a given. He made the mistake of saying he didn't find any of it funny though. And maybe he genuinely felt it was lame comedy. But that was quickly construed as him being a bad sport because he was sort of a serious dude. Just about everyone was a target at some time. I certainly was. About the only guy that I can remember that was never (to my recollection) attacked was The Victorian. There were others but they only dropped in from time to time and The Vic was a regular.

Nobody would dare attack The Vic.

Pure folly.

I can't imagine how badly it would go for the instigator of such an attack.
