Lebowskidoo 🦞, BATouttaheckBecause I started so late on the IMDb Boards, I didn’t know many of the posters we’re talking about, but I did talk after the fact with “Ms. Ellery Queen,” who has changed her cognomen to “ewrjk” and frequently posts here. She’s a strange one, she is, but from time to time can post things of interest.

Nalkarj would it not be fun to solve the mystery of what in the world "ewrjk" means ? MrsEQ was incredibly fond of mysteries .. especially the ones on the old radio series and could be quite knowlegible about them . Quirky ? Yes … but then, who amongst us is not, eh ?
cognomen ... now where did I leave that big book with the meanings of words ?

I have indeed tried to figure out “ewrjk” meself, BATouttaheck. Wonder if she knows about the Sleuth singer mystery…?

I wonder if the British poster called Spikeopath used to post on classic cinema board on old IMDB. I liked reading his posts on western cinema boards and sports board. www.imdb.com/user/ur16161013/Yes he surely did … I mentioned him earlier as one of the posters I most miss. Nice fella ! THANKS for that link... never thought about the Olde IMDb Crowd maybe still posting reviews on IMDb! D'OH ! I just sent an email to Spike - the address is a few years old, but if I get a reply I'll let you know. Great poster, and a champion of westerns. -

She’s a strange one, she is, but from time to time can post things of interest. Same with deembastille, Sal. Sometimes she posted very intelligent messages, but then sometimes she would devolve into a troll. I finally had to block her, and it saddened me to do so. Honestly!

Lebowskidoo 🦞 The lady whose daughter posted about her death was PKLarkin … … funny story about her... when I was a new newbie just first using the emojis ..she got mad at me and chewed me out for using a "sarcastic emoji" .. I thought it was just a smiley face because it was too small to see the details. We found that we liked many of the same movies and were ok after that early encounter ! MsElleryQueen … yep... remembered ! Last seen on one of the mystery discussion boards (where they hopefully never bring up Citizan Kane or film studies ! Yes, PKLarkin, she was feisty, R.I.P.

PKLarkins and I went along well on food and drinks board except for once. I don't remember exact topic but I said to her that "Your personality is like that of a strict headmistress of a small town school". I thought I had complimented her as school principals are thought of pretty highly in the small town where I spent my childhood. She thought I had intentionally slighted her. That said we were fine with each other again once I explained to her that I meant that as compliment and not insult. PKLarkins was a fairly valuable member of F&D board.

Back in the "good ol' days" of the IMDb message boards, there were posters with whom I had scintillating discussions and from whom I learned quite a bit. Example: Hobnob(I forget the number after his handle). We traded posts on the old "Classic Films" board quite a bit. From him, I learned that Adolph Menjou and Eugene Palette were rabid anti-Semites, and that Walter Brennan was a virulent racist who actually rejoiced when Martin Luther King was murdered! There were other posters on other boards whom I enjoyed reading, but who are not a part of this forum. IMHO, that diminishes this forum quite a bit. Does anyone else here have fond memories of other posters? clore2 and the imperious AddisonDeWitt.

Two guys I posted with a lot on Hitchcock: ECarle and Swanstep. Also, the poster who first went by the name WardJane, way back, went through a couple of transformations, ended up with something like IShallWearPuurple (I hope that's right). She's well along in years now and I hope still with us. There was also a VioletLady, or something like that, who hasn't been around for a while, I really enjoyed Jane (IShallWearPurple) tele.

Jane is alive and last I heard of her well, or as well as one can be pushing ninety. She has or had till recently a blog somewhere.
I wonder if anyone remembers a poster from way back, maybe more than ten years, whom I believe went by the name ShanghaiGirl. She lived in Shanghai, was Brit, and a lovely person and good writer. We were great pals, PM'ed regularly, and then, one night, in the middle of a talk with her my pc broke down, and I stupidly did a system restore, which in those days I saw as a cure all for much of what ails a pc. Well, I stopped it too soon, lost the connection, formatted my hard drive by mistake and the thing was ruined.
It was several more months before I acquired another one, an old one I'd owned years earlier, and it wasn't as good. By that time Shanghai, whose real name I used to know,--she was of Irish extraction, an artist, worked in textiles--was gone for good and I've never been able to find her since. Shite happens on-line, now and then.

I remember the Psycho(1960) board was always rocking with ECarle and Swanstep making all sorts of awesome posts about films, actors and what not. Their knowledge and ruminations were fascinating. They did make profiles on this site, ECarle's here, and Swanstep's here. Seems they weren't interested in staying sadly.

EC and Swanstep were great posters, and EC still is. We're in touch. He's circumspect on a personal level due to an awful experience on-line a long time ago, thus, out of respect for him, and as a friend, I hesitate to mention where he posts now. If you used a different name back at the IMDB, Seto, and ECarle is familiar with you, I can try to get you connected. Two other regulars on the Psycho board, Simplemindedsociety and Gubbio, were also great to post with. I think Gub's here somewhere, not so sure about SMS.

I posted a couple of times, but was more of a lurker really.

Many of the posters of the old Movie Awards board are now on Movie Awards Redux.

Seto I didn't post on the Psycho board but I knew someone who did and I liked to read the serious discussions that went on in their off the beaten path hangout. Orphan threads / boards are handy for such.

Hobnob, I beg you on bended knee (or at least I would If I was still able to get on my knees, LOL), PLEASE come back! I really miss your pearls of wisdom.
Also, I'm sorry about MrsElleryQueen's passing. I remember her from the old format, where she was the recipient of much vitriol from other posters.

It has been established that Hob is not here to read your plea tho' I am sure he would come back just to scintillate with sns. Who said that Mrs EQ has died ? She is known to be posting on another board and the LINK was provided by Nalkarj .

snsurone , as Bat noted, “Ms. EQ” is still very much alive, well, and actively posting; it’s PKLarkin who passed.
