Hi again to Pais and Bootsie and others. So nice to see you here, if only for a short time.
Hey Robin, you have really been missed. I wonder if Geefu will come and say goodbye to us? I know she lives at JJ now, but she did stir things up here for years. I'm going to have to become more familiar with Facebook it seems. -

Hello, my bitches! I just stopped by to say au revoir, as I understand this board, (as well as all of the others), is going to disappear soon. What a lot of laughs we had here! Who can forget when we married Vonnie off to Gerald on Wikipedia. I laughed so hard I cried that day. Well, all things must come to an end. (Even my participation in the Republican Party - haha!)
Paisy, I got your message, and return the best regards!
I spend my time on FB these days, and try to ignore politics as much as possible. I am currently on a, thus far unsuccessful, campaign to get my husband to move back to Kansas City, now that we are done raising Lauren.
I forgot about Gerry a long time ago. Has he been in any movies? Did he ever get married? To a woman?
Best wishes and happiness to all of you. I'm friends with some of you on FB. You are welcome to look me up.
Why does a girl have to be so silly to catch a husband? -

Hi Evil! Glad you checked in. I can't believe you've gone apolitical, but I understand why.
Yes, we've had some great times here. It's been pretty quiet for awhile though.
Gerry is an action star now. He has had an on and off again girlfriend/companion for a few years, but nothing official.
Take care. -

Nice to see you here again Evil and so glad all is well with you. Gerry is currently finding some success as an over the top action star and patriot who tortures and annihilates terrorists in a franchise centered around the White House and the President of the USA. So far there are the movies 'Olympus Has Fallen' (kind of like Die Hard' in the White House) followed up by 'London Has Fallen' and the next is 'Angel has Fallen' about Air Force One. Gerry stars as Special Agent Mike Banning and his action sidekick is Aaron Eckhart as the President. The topline cast also includes Morgan Freeman and both movies have done pretty well at the worldwide box office. POTO seems very far away these days. Who would have thought it eh?
I guess it really isn't like you Evil to not be so interested in politics anymore. I've been interested and following it all for the first time ever and wonder how long Mr Trump can go on like this with all of the backlash to everything he does? Perhaps people would prefer the seemingly very conservative Mike Pence? He does seem like such a nice man though and he and his wife did seem so relaxed and comfortable and in sync with each other dancing at the Inaugural Ball, as opposed to the Trumps who seemed somehow stiff and disconnected IMO. Maybe Melania is petrified for what Donald is going to tactlessly blurt out next LOL. At least she thanked the overseas soldiers for fighting for the US whilst Donald was just rabbiting on. I think she is quite lovely and she reminded me a little of Sophia Loren at the Inauguration, although I personally much preferred Ivanka's gorgeous ball gown and wasn't a fan of the gown Melania wore. I kind of thought it looked like a white flour sack tied in the middle LOL and thought it made her look pregnant when she turned side on. -

Wow, they are shutting down the boards?? I rarely post anymore but pop in occasionally just to see if there is anything entertaining. This place has been dead for a while. Back when I started posting here around 2008/09 I think this place was a laugh riot. Oh well . . . best to you all.

Wow, logged on tonight to get an explanation on a plot point of a terrible movie I watched and saw that the boards are closing! Rather disappointing!
I joined in 2005 and remember the days where we were posting 20/30 times a day. Silliness and fun all the time.
Ah well, times will change.
It's been fun! Take care, Everyone.
BTW, for you Dakota Johnson lovers, check out "A Bigger Splash." She's really great in that movie. I saw it because of Matthias Schoenaerts - what a talent!
Au revoir!

What a shame!
Often
when I'm watching a show or movie, I'll pop into the Imdb boards to read some spoiler or just see what people are saying about it. I'll miss doing that.
You do have to wade through the garbage/fights/negativity, just like on any other forum or comment section. I guess Imdb felt there was simply too much of it here. Right now there is SO much vitriol, rudeness and half-truths on the internet. It's really toxic. It's a shame if that's the reason for the Imdb shut-down. But if it is, I can understand their decision.
In any case, this place was better than a fan site because you weren't limited to just gushing. Better than Facebook or Twitter too because you could post looooong dissertations if you wanted. It was a fun board, very active for a while. Even GFW was a hoot.
I haven't posted in a long while but still checked occasionally to see if Butler is up to anything worth noting. I see currently he is not. I'll miss the silliness of it.
Best of luck to you all! -

Wow I can't believe these message boards are going to end. I just popped in to check on Legion and saw the announcement. Everything changes that's something we can always count on. For those who don't remember me I also used to be known as KatieJ.
I will miss popping in here and reading all your witty hilarious posts about good old Gerry. And I mean old.
My last words on that subject are that it's such a shame that he started out so promising and ended up so mediocre.
What I will miss most about these message boards is that people really communicated thoughts fully. Social media is so limiting.
Well238 it was so much fun while it lasted. I would love to see some of you around other places but I don't know your real names and you don't know mine so that won't work out too well.
RRuin, remember when I was an ultra-conservative and you used to tell me off? You know already that you affected me greatly in re-examining my beliefs, you'll be really happy to know that I have become a flaming liberal. And I like myself a hell of a lot more when I look in the mirror.
Lastly, the last few times I popped in here I didn't see Evil around. It's great to5b4 see you back for a visit and it's amazing that Trump seems to have pushed even you away from the Republican party? The orange monster is wreaking chaos everywhere. Hope we can all survive till he's gone. That's one good thing about change. Presidents come and presidents go. Thank heavens!
Bye all!

Katie! So glad you popped in for the farewell. You and I both migrated to the Adam Lambert fandom from Gerry, if I recall correctly. I don't follow Adam anymore, but that was a fun time too! Glad I got to see him in concert!
I hope all is well with you. I know plenty of people who used to be staunch conservative Republicans who have been driven away thanks to Trump. If nothing else, maybe he'll manage to break down this "us vs. them, red vs. blue, left vs. right" mentality in this country. It's so destructive, and the ONLY people who benefit from it are the ones at the top of the food chain who are pitting us all against each other in an effort to keep themselves in power. It HAS to stop. We need to wake up and put these jackasses to work FOR US, not the other way around.
Anyway! Hope you're well! Good to see you!
