Somebody mentioned the discussion board at <moviemusic.com>. So I checked it out. The posters there seem to be a bunch of shallow airheads. They're musically-illiterate showbiz fans, for the most part. They're not heavy-duty musicologists like us.

BTW- Do they have Aaron Collins? Nooooooo, I don't think so. =)

All the times I have gone there everyone seems to be swearing their heads off, bashing composers and bashing other members. It was stupid...

We are better than you! HA

We have a great thing going on here. Let's keep people talking about us!

This is especially true on r.m.m., where if they can't backstab or call names, they don't post anything. I don't know how many of you frequented r.m.m. in the past, but it was (and still is, to a point) rife with know-it-alls who are jealous of the people doint the real thing.

It used to be what whenever Ford Thaxton or Lukas Kendall posted an announcement about something, all the other "kids" could do is berate them with viscious, personal attacks. This, IMO, is mainly due to jealousy on their part. They can't do these great things, so they have to "bring down" the people that do.

Maybe I am "musically illiterate." I never said I was a prodigy. I am here because I enjoy the music. But I bet I can run rings around any of them when it comes to science and photography. Let the kids play. As long as they stay out of here.

Thankfully we don't have that here. We all know we're above that stuff.

Good to hear, and welcome! I vist FSM a lot for it's reports...etc, but I've been put off every time I look at the forum by these said fools who ruin it for everyone. I was affraid to post!

Anyway, as a FSM regular, as a regular rec.music.movies poster, AND as somebody who has been lurking here for I while, I think the majority of posters in all of these forums (oh-my-gosh-this-sounds-pc-but-I-can't-help-it!) are interested in film scores and capable of reasonable discussions. Some weirdos pop up from time to time wherever you go; there are worse things in life. In any case, I have been posting regularly at FSM and at rec.music.movies and occasionally at Filmtracks, and I intend to do the same here. But I come in piece, and not as a party crasher, and certainly not to have a "our-board-is-better-than-your-board-war". This here is a fun place to be, that's all I have to say about this.

He made a second posting (place already forgotten and thread probably already lost) wishing yourself, WRM, myself and someone else -- Dan Hobgood probably -- a belated Happy New Year.

And a Big Hello to all of you I haven't had the pleasure to get to know yet

i am thrilled that this board is here and look forward to making new friends.

Make yourselves at home, you are in for plenty of surprises here at MovieMusic.com.

(Oops, got lost there for a minute.) Seriously, it's good to talk to people about film scores wherever I'm at (and other off topic items as well). I'm just glad that there is another place to talk about filmscores. My experiences talking about film scores with the above mentioned people over at FSM have been a good, and I believe it will be with the people on this new board.

I have been gone for about 2weeks and man do I have alot of reading to do here...I think my eyes are going to bleed.

Well, anyway, thanks for coming and hope you enjoy yourselves and clearing the Laszlo person thing.

"...most of us here are here for one reason alone...and that is a love of film music and a passion for discussing it."

I agree wholeheartedly, Joe, but...

That's TWO reasons.

Hector neglected to mention that I praised this board's format. It's far preferable to the narrow-formatted piece-of-crap board over at filmscoremonthly. (Please take that personally, Sheriff Joe.)

As for YOU, Chris Kinsinger. We all know what YOU are: a congenital apple-polisher. A shameless toady who ingratiates himself with authority-figures by attacking his fellow underlings. I got you sussed, Chris. So watch it, bub. A word to the wise-guy.

To Hector and everyone else: Please find it in your hearts to forgive my rash misjudgment. Thanx a bunch and God bless.
