Is it a place to save your reviews or lists?  sterlinguisics ........ just said somthing kinda interesting (sorta) - - that he doesn't go to the polls part of this board. (Miller/Field thread) Now that kinda blows my mind (sorta), because I read every post in every thread - though I forget topics exist - heck, this may exist ffs -and my own posts I read twice because of the sparkling humor ......heck............I post about Politics even though we don't have a Politics board (um).........I essentially have invented a Stealth Porn Board (um) and a Stealth Stuff I Think Is Funny Board That Other People Just Think Is Weird...........I have no one blocked ........ that's actually weird to me......  What's MAR "mean" to you in 2024? 7 year anniversary coming up.........not kidding btw about that........  |

I find it an incredible resource - for film news, definitely, but I especially appreciate that we are an international forum - I've learned so much that I wouldn't have if only speaking to other Americans. Also, because film (and actresses) are my biggest hobby, I definitely need the outlet for discussions. Thank you all for having me!  |

I like to talk about film and this board has people with more knowledge and insights on it than most in my personal life. Also, I just wanted to note I usually don't navigate through boards specifically, but instead view by recently updated threads. Just simpler to me, easy way to stay on top of all the goings-on here. |

I like this place as a movie community so I use it for movie/acting discussions, recommendations, debates, etc… I don’t visit most of the “other” boards here, I already have group text chats with my friends for sports and music, but they are pretty far separated from me on movies.

I can pretend I'm not yelling into a void when I post about some obscure movie nobody has seen here. I totally am, of course. Nobody cares. People want to hear themselves talk, and that's fine. I'm no different.

Something along the lines of enduring real life and killing time.
I've known you guys - well, not as "you" you to the point I know today - since 2012-2013 (where I discovered the old board) and just stayed around, peeping... used the insights, went away for times in between, always been in love with movies though... which made me coming back. There's a sense of community going on here that I'm so sure about; actually did a paper this semester on how we identify with our online presences... so stett or you ofc aren't just stett and pacinoyes, these are all part of you (the avatar, the vocab, the signature even, the thoughts of course)... So it's part of my life officially, especially for the last year when I got distant from my closest ones... and made a bunch of threads these past months to figure some of us out, for the first time in years. how depressed, lonely, satisfied we are irl... and I'm happy to be here. We're really growing old together.
Don't vitis all sections though, Off-topic and music I check out more... news and sports and stuff not at all.

It's that small corner of the Internet I could call my happy place, even if that simply means coming on here for a few minutes and checking out if you and pup had a new fight or something. I'm just used to this board of ours, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's part of my daily routine - there's a handful of sites I check after waking up and this is one of them. I just enjoy MAR as a hangout place, even if I quietly chill in the corner instead of actively posting every two minutes. Like, I don't have a lot to say on the subject of Cooper potentially overtaking DiCaprio in terms of nominations but I sure enjoy reading all of y'all's crazy thoughts anyway  Or the opposite - I probably have too much to say about Tarkovsky and how non-Russian viewers will probably never experience his films to the fullest (especially Mirror) but right now I'm not at a place where I want to expand those thoughts into actual written sentences... but I sure enjoy reading all of y'all's wonderful thoughts anyway. And that's what MAR is to me. |

Idk if I’d go as far as to say this but I’ve been shitposting with you guys since I was in high school. I don’t keep in touch with anyone from high school anymore, so I guess that technically now makes you guys my oldest…friends? |

Like others have said, there aren’t many people in my personal life who are interested in film with quite the same intensity/obsessiveness as me, so this place is a nice outlet for that. I also like getting film news here, though I think I actually get more of that from AW. This place is more fun though, which is why I post here more often. While I prefer AW for following the Oscar race, I don’t usually read the film criticism/reviews board there and much prefer the discussions here. People here generally have better taste and I don’t read quite as many moronic takes on things here as I do there.
I don’t save my reviews or lists here though... I save those elsewhere (I actually still make and save some lists in my IMDb account).
I definitely don’t read every post in every thread (life’s too short), but I do view by recently updated threads instead of going to the individual sub-boards... just easier to keep up with everything that way. I probably read through the board on a given day less thoroughly than I used to though.
