Tomato Necromancy
Because I'm looking for an excuse to not have to do any work today.
Images from the old days of RT, for those who remember and those who have forgotten. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1.../whaaaaeq6.jpg |
Never forget!

I hope you saved the fabfunk mugshot. Or, hell, that whole thread would be a nice revisit. I hope that poor woman who alerted us is doing well these days.

Re: Tomato Necromancy
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.

Do you have Gilaskan's fake Argo poster?
|
Re: Tomato Necromancy
Ah yes, the site that introduced me to the pure insanity of the internet, carry on DP, and welcome.

I doubt it. This is mostly my own stuff from my old Imageshack account. I'll poke arond, though. |
Re: Tomato Necromancy
I was fairly active on RT back in the day. From the looks of things a few years before most of this crowd, though.
It was a silly place. |

Were you kgaard back then too, or some other name I might remember?

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. |
Nice to see you here, Death Proof!
Here's some goofy stuff I made on Rotten Tomatoes as MaxRenn: https://i.imgur.com/8zwB5Jl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/t6k6wfF.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kKbMcgy.jpg For the Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans out there: https://i.imgur.com/axQ9fuH.jpg https://i.imgur.com/EI1DYA5.png |
I remember MaxRenn.
That place was a lot of fun. Some great characters. Wasn't Chimp Tripping a Maxuda special? Also, miss the alias's. |
Oh, and let's not forget clam chowder. Or was it potato salad?

Then what about Evil Heino?

Re: Tomato Necromancy
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.

I was looking up some info on Star Wars characters and somehow stumbled across Tycho's Star Wars thread. So you can blame him. |

Obviously his split personality. Or evil twin from the Star Trek dimension. |
Maybe Evil Heino was the real Heino?!? :o
Now to figure out what happened to Sir Dickwin of Cockmore and his arch nemesis Sir Cockwin of Dickmore, who I understand were two different people. |
Alias's like The Rarest Breed, Lawyer, Cyrus P. Houndsfart, Gort, among others made the place fun.

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.

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: https://i.imgur.com/0iE6hNk.jpg |

Was he really BL? I guess that would track 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. |

Who didn't have an issue with Red?

|
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. |
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. |

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 ****. |

He never liked me after that. 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. |

👀 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. |
Re: Tomato Necromancy
I don't understand why we're reminiscing on RT memories when we could be discussing Tarr or Tarkovsky instead.
|
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. |

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 *******. |

Oh god, I remember that. On the one hand, it was like keeping a nutter in their own cell away from the other inmates and just letting them babble to themselves. On the other hand, it was F*CKING CRAZY. |

Does anyone remember the thread "Eat it or wear it?"
It was a game where you're presented with a series of situations, and presented with the titular decision at each turn. I remember getting a good amount of laughs out of it, but don't remember if it was something I participated in or stumbled across when I was looking for an old thread. Hoping somebody else remembers this. |

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.

Remember Archimmes? Wasn't it revealed that he was purposely flying to Thailand or some such place for the purpose of having sex with underage prostitutes? |

He went from a poster who I was always excited to read to one I wanted to punch in the face. Besides "this," almost all of his posts were "good thread" (ironically), "this thread has a point," "there's already a thread about that on the front page, etc." I don't think he left because he died, but because he probably couldn't take the frustration any more. |

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.
|
Will I ever be able to join a discussion without being accused of murder? :D
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. |

Speaking of old RTers, just noticed that Lily Von's birthday was just posted here. So I guess she was on this site for a time too.

Didn't she leave in an extremely lame flame out?

Can't remember exactly what happened, and maybe I'm confusing her with a different poster, but I remember something about 'no fatties in Auschwitz' being the end of her. Not that she wasn't always a phony, insensitive dunderhead. But something about her last few gasps at RT did seem fittingly lame for a poster whose popularity up until then always baffled me. |

Lilly started to get bitter when her beau at the time, Paradyne was run out/bailed out. Always found her amusing, her slutty antics et al.
This was about the same time as "Astor"-gate. When astor bolted and founded her own forum, Icine. Also, taking many a good poster with her. |

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. |
