My brother was speaking to me moments ago and said if you quit this, then how do you ever expect to accomplish anything.
So I am going to ignore all I can if I can. I am going to try so hard. So please bear with me, those of you who like me, and help me stay on topics of film.
I will do my best.
I started a new topic on fav film line and I hope to add more oscar questions. My brother is best at helping me. If not for him, I think I would have been gone by now due to health. No other reason. He is the best and so are most of you.
I apologize to those who support me for any confusion I have caused. Never was my intent.
As to age, it is not about age, as one person asked, and I agree with that person, that not every thought needs to be expressed but Snorky had a point....when topics are started about you, it can be difficult to deal with.
I simply ask for help in staying the course.
Anyone want more oscar trivia questions. I have plenty. I would like to do that during this oscar season, which by the way, is it me, or is this one of the weakest years ever? Hmmm. I guess that's why we like the classics.
And that is why I wrote a post today about film 50 years from now. I thought it humorous but what do I know I am drugged all the time.
I do apologize for the length of my missives. I will be shorter.
I wish all peace here. I really do.
I hope I am doing the right thing.
Robert Michael....the bio47 was the name I chose because I came up with 47 actors who wons awards portraying real people. That means if you want an Oscar play someone who existed. One of every six winners did just that.

I am going to try one more time to see if I can start a topic and if name calling happens, I will see how I handle it.
This topic of fav lines has probably been done before but I didn't get to see that since new here.
I have many. But one I heard last night was from Bullets Over Broadway. Having studied theatre, the line Jennifer Tully says, when upet about her part in the play they are pfocuding, she says,
"Hey, this isn't a lead. A lead has a line on every page." Then she comes home from her first rehearsal and says when asked how her day was, "Lousy, they expcect me to remember all those lines."
I love it. I have worked with people like that.
So, I will make ultimate decision tonight on as to whether to stay. My brother was speaking to me moments ago and said if you quit this, then how do you ever expect to accomplish anything.
So I am going to ignore all I can if I can. I am going to try so hard. So please bear with me, those of you who like me, and help me stay on topics of film.
I will do my best.
Now what is your favoirite line?
-
Magnavoice will you leave me the f... alone. Your constant comment, calling me biohazard is just great get a life. You are just plain cruel. Telling me I should have had a lobotomy. I pray you never find yourself in a situation like this you coward. I dare you to go up to someone in a wheechair and make fun to their face. How safe you are behind your keyboard. I would rather be crippled than be of a cruel heart. Or do you have one?
-
You would never do anything wrong Snorky and you are a true saint if there ever was one. I welcome your criticisms of me and calling someone else a loser and your having a good time making someone ill more miserable. I welcome it all. I guess I was the one chip that had a chip on his shoulder. I wanted to join and participate in forums on film. And you had the need for me to name names. I did not do it and that is awful of me. I am so remiss.
But hey you won. This bag of chips is gone baby gone. Gee, that was a film this year. Something that could have been talked about. Amazing how you claim to have done nothing wrong and you initated this entire discussion today. Anyone reading can see that. But you have been here longer and have friends, I am new, so instead of waiting for my close up, I'll go back to the silent era.
-
I am so sorry to leave. I don't want to. But I can not take any more of this ****. I have tears streaming down my face and I feel so stupid. I thought I would enjoy it here so much. The tears are because this just reminds me of all the losses I experienced this past year.
Many of you have been supportive to me. I will appreicate that always. I wanted to post everyday during Oscar season. I love it.
Now a person who has been attacking me, and you can read the posts is calling for support. Has twisted every one of my words and could give a damn that I am fighting for my life.
I looked forward to knowing some of you. What kills me is that in three days I learned so much that was so refreshing in terms of films as I am sick of what is now considered a blockbuster.
I wrote a piece today on film 50 years from now. I had fun with it and thought it might cause a laugh or two. But it was riducled by magnavoice who has sent messges that are down right cruel.
There are so many I want to name to thank but can not recall all the names now.
There has to be a place I can join and never experience this.
All of this started because I said I was gay. I really thought we moved more forward than we have.
I will always wonder what you people will write of your opinions on actors. I tried joining a group in yahoo a long time ago and it is not the type of films I want to discuss.
This would have been perfect.
I don't know why but I feel as if I am letting down some people because of the support I was given. I don't know if I will stay away completely or maybe return during the awards. I love the Oscars.
I leave you with my favorite quote:
"A hundred times in life the good that one does seems to serve no immediate purpose: yet it maintains in one way or another the tradition of well wishing and well doing, without which all would perish."
Our words have a much power. We can influence, empower the betterment of each other, or strike one another cruely.

Congrats Snorky you win. I can't take it anymore. I just can't.
I do not know what you have against me. I'll never understand.
You did speak of someone's orientation and you have used cruel words. And you want me to apologize.
I can't believe others are not seeing some of what you have said.
But congrats. I want you to know you have caused a man fighting for his life and use of his speech and legs to have further misery.
You asked why I spoke up for Celluloidkid, it was because he was supportive to me.
I have so many loses this year and though I have been here a short time, it hurts because it reminds me of the other losses.
I am a vey very nice guy.
I can't make one comment without you twisiting it. The whole demonizing you. What the hell is that about?
I am saying goodbye to everyone. You are unbelieveable. There are people writing me now taking your lead. You don't want a PM so here it is in the forum.
I pray you never do this to anyone again who you know has admitted to not having much strength. I am in emotional pain everyday as I wake and hope this will be the day I take my first step. It never happens. I admit my weakness of which I can not get ahold of until I learn to walk again.
I am so mad at myself for allowing this to happen. I am crying like hell and it is my own damned fault. Now you write that I started a message about you and you need support. I wrote a message to the group and included you because you did not want PM.
And may I suggest you never speak of someone's orientation again. And look at you calling CelluloidKid, Celluloser.
And I am to apologize. Never.
-
I can't believe I am writing again about hate. I am going to bed for awhile and then try to read some responses tonight that will hopefully help me.
You will see a debate that was not intended. In this debate someone's sexual orientation was mentioned and they were called annoying. Then in defending that person who has been kind to me, Celluloidkid by the way, was then referred to an Celluloser.
Can anyone enlighten me if I am going anything wrong?
If so I will leave. I can't believe this is happening again. I decided to stay and had a lot of support. I offer peace to everyone. Snorky says I am demonizing. If you read that person's postings, there seems to be only one intent and that is too upset me.
I tried to use PM's so it would not take up space for other members. Snorky said not to do that.
Can someone explain to me, is this common here? What is the point of this group?
I thought after this weekend that it would be over. I can not understand those who have said I am having a pity party because I am in a wheelchair. I want no pity. I have been making many Oscar postings to have good conversation.
If I find that this does happen occassionaly then I would not personalize it. But if it is only happening to me then I think I should leave.
Just someone give me some sense of the history of this group.
Are newcomers welcome?
It seems to be divided.
I am saddened that I want to be here but not sure it is the place for me. The sadness is because there are so many of you from whom I have read great things re: films in just four days.
I admit, I am not strong right now. I am on so many meds. I am usually strong, but as I said I can't fight right now, nor do I ever really wish too. I live in fear of never walking again and this is zapping my energy and causing depression, hence why I admit, and it kills me to admit it, I am not strong. For those who intended to hurt me, you succeeded and I am **** at myself for allowing it. Angrier with me than any one else.
Peace. Robert Michael...and I am sorry for this post, I just need enlightened. I know their will be nasty messages when I come here later this evening. But I hope I can ignore those. Has anyone at all had this experience?
-
Cellulioklid is far from annoying. You said you have a hard time understand some of the things people have written me. You said you were complimenting the group.
Now you talk in open forum of somenes sexuality and say they are annoying.
So why is it hard to believe some have said cruel things. How are you different?
I don't get you. I really don't. If your intention is too hurt, you have succeeded. I know others tell e to ignore, but I can't stand what you wrote about Celluloidkid when that person has been gracious to me as most have.
I can not beleive in a time when we are at war and praying for our troops to come home, that I offer a peace giving and you denounce it. Amazing. Peace beging at home.
-
Snorky I have tried to write you to give some sense of peace between us. Obviosly you don't want that. I wrote you a PM as I don't want a debate in front of everyone.
As far as Celluloid, why bring that up. I know nothing of the mail he recieves.
I can not belive I have waisted this much energy on someone I don't know. I was trying to make peace in which I never started the problem to begin with.
Many have said they want me to stay.
I am going to try to. But please be pleased with yourself that you have made me miserable. I do not while recovering from brain surgery and trying to learn to walk again have the strenght to fight anyone.
I originally fought the messages of gay bashing becasuse I'll be damned I sit in silence on that.
-
What is this post about? I am so confused. LOL.
-
For me it was Vanesa Redgrave who gave one of the finest scenes I have ever witnessed in film. Her last six minutes with the camera only on her face during the ending of Atonement is some of the best acting I have ever encountered. Wanted her to get supp nomination.
And I hate that Bella got overlooked completely. Wonderful independent.
-
IN conclusion and I really hope this is it for me. I did not originate the thought of your post not warranting a reponse. Someone else did. At first I agreed. But then out of my beliefs, I did write, so I did think it warranted a response. Now as I said in the other thread. peace to you. And that is it as far as this goes.
-
Good Snorky I am glad we can agree to move on. This is a little confusing because of the two threads. I do wish you well in all sincerity. To change subject what is your favorite line in a movie. It is something I have been thinking about today because of a line I heard last night. I'm going to write about that I think. Take care.
-
I ask you to also be careful with what is written. I did not demonize you and this is my last response. I went through enough hell and still am with my health and I will not be a part of this. I even complimented you and had the courtesty to write you a PM. I am trying but failing in all attempts to be on good ground with you. I wish you well as I said in my other message. How is that possibly demonzing, I don't know. Good day to you.
-
Snorky as I wrote to you I hope we can be good acquaintances. Now I don't know what you said because the message was edited. But there is a part that says I'm having hard time believeing.
Its no big deal. Let's just move on. Peace.

Is it Five Came Back?

Imagine this following discussion 50 years from now. It's all possible and that is saying something.
Grandmother sitting with a comforter around her feet with a warm fire buring on the logs.
To her grandson:
"I can't believe you call that a film. That is not art. OH, my God. The things you kids come up with. Back in my day we had what was talent. Do you know Reese Whitherspoon?"
"No," says grandson with bewildered book.
"Well look her the hell up. She had 17 oscar nominations. Holds the record. Honey, we had talent in my days. I remember when a picture used to cost just 8.50 instead of 26.00 dollars which is absurd.
I remember going to see Ryan Seacrest in his film debut. Never a better performance in the history of film. He lost the damned oscar to Ben Stiller which was a travesty.
OH, the memoires of those five oscar speeches Julia Roberts gave. She was the best. And pretty too.
I even started a yahoo fan club for Halle Berry. It disbanded quickly and to this day I don't know why. I had picutres on myspace of all the greastest actors. Ryan Phillipe was all over my page. He was my hero.
And there was no one who could light up the screen like Ben Affleck IV. Now that was a family dynasty if there ever was one."
"Ben who?"
"What the hell do you mean Ben who? He was perfect. His grandfather and a guy long forgotten, Matt Damon, made the motion picture industry what it is today. You have to study this if you are going to major in film at Juliard.
A girl named Jennifer Husdon had a great voice, but tinseltown was shocked that she turned down the role to play the biopic of Diana Ross and the part was taken by Michael Jackson's grandson and they did not know what catergory to put him in for nominations. He was so overlooked that poor boy. Meanwhile, Hudson portrayed Oprah Winfrey, just some television host. Film went way overbudget and got overlooked due to the Christmas opening of broadway musical turned movie, Urinetown starring Keira Knightley and Ryan Gosling Jr. It became the biggest box office success of all time.
Diana and Jennifer both deserved better. If only they had not gone up against that musical number featuring John Travolta still dancing and overweight at 74.
Honey your grandmother knows all about films. My favorite movie was The Bourne Dissillusionist. We had car race seqeuneces in those days, but now a lost art.
I think tonight I'll watch an old classic. Did you ever see Cocktail honey? Cocktail with a man named Tom Cruise. Poor thing was so handsome. Ended up in an institution after getting the Thalberg Honorary award. What do you mean you never heard of Cocktail? Let's watch it now instead of the garbage you are paying 26.00 for. Wait. On second thought let's watch Cruise's very best. Days of Thunder. It was made with his soon to be seond wife, of the nine he had altoghether. I'll never understand why he and Jennifer Lopez did not work out.
Now you sit back honey, you are in for one hell of a treat."
"Grandma, after this can we watch grandpa's favorite, Batman Begins?"
"HELL TO THE NO!."
-
well with that wonderful hint, LOL, I'll start.
Is it Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison?

It's not a Super Tuesday for our country as I say to myself, borrowning from Merly Streep in Postcards from the Edge, "These are our choices?" Many say it is our patriotic duty. And I understand that but how do you vote when you don't have a choice in which you believe the person can lead this wonderful country. I am originally from Canada and have dual citizenship, but man, I think I am going to write in Antonio Sabato jr. as he makes all my dreams come true. LOL.
Good luck everyone.

They were reported as someone was kind enough to instruct me how to do so. I have no idea if they have been removed yet or not but I have blocked them. I know you want me to name them because you can't believe this happened as you said in another message. It did. Read my reply in other thread. It's up to you what you want to believe, but it is sad if you believe that all are of the same mind here. Many are welcoming. Some are not. Hell you can see for yourself in the one thread were the person made fun of me for wanting to have a good pity party. I don't give a rats ****. Just read my response to your other post. I'm not naming names here. That is not necessary and if you choose to not believe me that is fine with me. They can be removed by the powers that be but I imagine they would rejoin with a new user name.
I know the truth and the people who did it know the truth. Do you Snorky object to my being here. I ask that only because of your two postings. I'm staying put. But that first day was hell. And I want it behind me, I don't know if I should have responded or not as I don't want it stirred, but felt I had to and you will understand if you read in the other thread.
Your wanting me to name names reminds me of the, oh hell what was that called, I am originally from Canada and studied this for my citizenship but my mind slips, house of un-American something or other. LOL. I can't remember. Have a good day Snorky.
-
You know that commercial WAKE UP PEOPLE. That comes to mind regarding Snorky. True it does not deserve or warrant a response, but then I thought this person needs to realize a few things.
Don't think everyone here is kind. Many hide behind their keyboards and what you may not know is that when you say you are gay and Christian, you just sent out an invitation. An invitation that I thought was closed due to progress. Alas, not enough progress
I have worked with teen suicide hotline center where there exists a strong fact. The fact is
most people who commit suicide are teens. And the number one reason is their fear of their orientation and not coming to terms with it. How will tell? What is I am rejected? Bullied? Killed? Raped?
My own father, for other reason commited suiide. Then when Matthew Shepherd was killed, I had to do someting, do my part.
I will never hide, nor do I broadcast. I don't march or celebrate gay pride, because it is only one facet of my life. I believe in only one agenda, and that is the human agenda. Wake up people, such as Snorky, who I do not mean to be condescending to, but this **** happens. And it happened to me this weekend. To some I went overboard in making almost 30 posts in one day. I was told I was monopolizng, I could care less. But the other comments did hurt. Mainly because I am heavily drugged still from surgery, but more so for the fact that I don't want young teens to live in a world where funerals like Heath Ledger are picketed.
I have noticed that something I did, that I thought all do, I created a profile with more info than other profiles I have since seen. I think we all can tell I do not have the gift of having an econonmy with words. LOL.
As one person wrote me in support, and I do believe this, it is amazing how people can hide behind their keyboards and yet would never say this stuff to your face. This other member received some hate mail too. It does happen.
I understand why you think it woud not occur because to join here, you think we would gather intelligent people due to subjects of TCM bonding us in a common thread. Not all are of the same mind.
I ask all to do their part to further the progress of the empowerment of the human agenda in which Maya Anglou says it best, "We are more alike than unalike."
Snorky I wish you a good day. Of all I said, take what is good, and if there is some you do not like, then don't accept it. I am not and will not defend myself to you or to anyone, but I will always try to enlighten where I see the need, so the agenda moves forward. Let's all do our part.

I wrote many emails today to people to thank them and made a post. Let me say it here as well, I am very grateful. Yesterday was a bad day. I have a difficult time learning new things currently and thought I was doing something really wrong here. But from all that wrote I gathered I can post what I want and start topics.
The joy, and I mean this, is getting all these opinions and views on film by real cinema lovers. When people tell me they cant make up their mind if Pirates or Shrek was their fav this year, I bite my tongue. To each their own. But I love the people who have a great knowledge and depth of appreciation for real art and not all this computer enhanced viewing we are subjected to. Isn't it odd that the best films were at one time 25 cents, even less sometimes, but I did not live then but know of it, and now people pay nine dollars to see the Sequal to Legally Blonde. Oh I need a pill on that one. LOL. Take care, Robert Micheal

You're just trying to make nice with 'patful', aren't you?
That line is hysterical to me. Who is patful. I'll make nice with anyone but don't know who this is.
I'm off to bed to make nice dreams with Antonio Sabato jr. Whoops to much info. LOL. Take care all.

I am not lying about one thing I have said to you. I don't understand how you apologize and then call me that.
As for CelluloidKid....one: I felt you were saying things about him that did not make sense because you seemed to have a difficult time with some of the things said to me, so why in turn would you speak of him. And secondly, because I beleive we are all brothers and sisters in Christ, I will speak up for anyone. He can handle himself. But I will join my voice in whatever fashion I can when I think someone is being ridiculed.
I tried repeatedly in PM's and on the board to wish you peace.
You have said a lot today about me taking words out of your mouth. Ok, since you are one not to make fun of the ill, can you accept and understand the confusion I have. Two months ago I had to learn to count again by playing solitaire in a hospital. A deck of cards is how they retool you in that part of your brain. So all I ask for is a break. Ok?
