So I'm driving myself crazy trying to find this movie I watched a few years ago. In the movie a guy owes a man money. He's in a lot of debt and so the man he owes money to sends a hit man type guy to kill him. I think but might be wrong that the two guys know each other. The two drive around and the man who is in debt is trying up lose ends and taking care of things while the the hit man accompanies him. At the end of the movie there's a scene where I think he's about to be killed by him but I'm not sure if he does it. The movie is a dry comedy so it's not an action movie or anything. It was a good movie but don't think it made it to movies. I cant for the life of me remember any of the people in it but I'm pretty sure one of the leads was pretty familiar
Maybe you're thinking about the movie Things Change with Don Ameche and Joe Mantegna?
Not exactly the same but very close and it came right to me when I read your description.
Thank you. Now they don't have to come here with their questions about movie titles. They always give as little information as possible yet expect people to guess the correct title.
And half of the time these people give us scenes from two different movies or barely remember one scene accurately. That's why I don't even bother guessing. They will have you running around in circles trying to figure out what movie they saw.
And for your information (not that I need to explain myself to you) I actually have OCD and memory hoarding is what bothers me the most. So most of the time things like this happen to me where I can remember only small details and then I drive myself crazy with my compulsions. Just leave me alone if you don't like what I post. No one needs your opinion. I've seen other posts by you and to be honest you seem like a very unhappy person so how about get off of here and find something to do
I wasn't being hostile towards her. I'm hostile towards Naps. The difference is quite clear. Anybody can see that. You're just instigating a fight between me and the OP and you're doing it to make it seem as though I deserved the treatment I receive from Naps. You're trying to make it seem like I am the villain. I don't appreciate it either.
Furthermore the advice you're giving me, and what others are giving as well is to ignore or show restraint when replying to other users. Well the same should be told to Naps because the guy continues spreading lies about me and being extremely disrespectful towards me.
So this conversation you are having with me needs to be directed towards him. Or perhaps you can't have this conversation with Naps because he is a delusional person who doesn't listen to reason?
I too saw it as hostile. If there's not enough info to trigger what movie it might be and post a response, just move on. Doesn't mean someone else won't recognise it, or come up with some good guesses.
People posted requests like this all the time on the I Need to Know board back on IMDb, often enough with very little info they remembered.
"I've got no desire for this battle between you and Naps to continue believe me.I'm actually quite weary of the whole thing."
Well I'm sorry that you people think I was being hostile to the OP when I wasn't.
That is obvious when you pay attention to the difference between the way I respond to Naps or MissMargo and then the OP.
The OP needs to realise how frustrating it would be for others to help her when she doesn't even know what she saw or have enough details.
I've asked for help about a movie title and always had it solved because I gave them enough accurate details.
And as for my attitude towards some of the regulars here. Tell you what I'll do. When you guys start treating me the way you treat the new posters, I'll have a better attitude towards you. I think that is fair.
Stop acting like my friend. You're not. You're just like the others instigating fights between users. I'm not the problem here. You people are.
I've had enough of you. Goodbye.
Good GOD! I have tried often to be friendly with you in the past. You started threads with interesting topics . When I responded you were suddenly indifferent to your own topics! I shy away and then I talk to you again and you lash out! I am never certain of how you are going to respond.
You may believe this or NOT! I am not a huge fan of the term, TROLL. I certainly do not like it here on this site. I like naps, but we do part ways when we look at the number of posts a person has next to their name and assume that this person is a troll.... or WORSE!!!! THE BEAST WE CALL BEN!!!
We should be welcoming anyone here who is new.
The more posters here, the more this site will grow..... We shouldn't be hostile towards each other. Don't we want more people to talk with?
I am sorry that you have had such a bad experience here. I'm also very sorry for hurting your feelings. I would like to keep things friendly and respectful. I would like to think that you feel the same way.
We all have our troubles. You have shared some of yours with us. I think that was a very brave thing to do.
I do not want to add to your troubles or to hurt you or anyone here. With that, I hope you will accept my apology.
I wouldn't blame you though, if you didn't.
As long as it doesn't kill me I am not afraid.
I just think that we should try to be more accepting here.
I don't know what issues Barclays has. I just know that I have thought long and hard about this in the last 24 hours and I know that I really do not want to hurt anyone or add fuel to the fire.
I would also like to welcome more new people to this site. The OP seems sincere, and until I know any different, I say, Be kind! I am saying this to Barclays as well.
A person comes to a movie message board and asks for a bit of help when trying to find a movie! What is so suspicious about that?
There is no harm in trying to tap other people's film knowledge on a movie site. That's really part of what we are here for. We enjoy films and TV shows. The exchange of ideas and insight is what we were so afraid of losing when the IMDb message boards shut down. We also hated the thought of losing that community.
We have a chance here to build a community. I know that I like you and I have met so many other nice people here on this site that I don't believe I ever met on IMDb before. I have also run into a few of the old regulars on the Twilight Zone board. That is a double bonus!
I enjoy a good debate. I can even be bitchy when I'm in a mood. I would hate to chase people away though, with cruelty and petty differences.
There is one person here that I will never be able to abide. He seems to be missing in action and that is fine by me. I don't plan to talk to him even if he does decide to come back. That's ok. He isn't my #1 fan either. We rub each other the wrong way. It happens. When it does, we simply ignore each other..... that doesn't have to involve a button either.
I have no problem with the OP. I do have a problem with being wished dead, and the poster saying "So what?" when called out on it, then lying like a cheap rug and sputtering fake outrage because it got reported.
It isn't right to say you wish anyone dead. You have every right to report anyone who says such things. I would!
It's disturbing and I do wonder what is going through a person's mind when they can say these sort of things to a stranger.... a person they don't even know.
My advice, now that you have reported this person? Avoid this individual as much as possible. this is obviously a person you do not want to talk to.
I have dealt with this in my own way by apologizing. That is all that I can do on a message board. I personally feel as though I hurt someone who has problems in life. Call me foolish or naive. Maybe I am. Barclays may be sitting there right now, laughing her/his ass off at me. Let it be. We don't have to be friends. We don't have to be enemies either. Barclays and I can just co-exist.
Margo, it didn't stop at that. Both Dazed and I reported it. It went on a tirade about how it couldn't believe it was reported. You're welcome to check. Long as it continues to call me out, it's gonna get it back.
Christ knows why you apologized to an obvious psychopath, especially since it was unnecessary, but if it makes you feel better, God bless.
I did see the other thread.... "Wow! I can't believe I was reported", or something like that.
The post you are talking about, where this person wished you dead was deleted before I even saw it, and I was the one who got the notification for that post.
I would report that myself, if I saw such a crazy thing. That is what I mean when I say that wishing a perfect stranger dead is wrong!
This individual needs help! There is a great deal of negativity there in any case.
I just feel that we shouldn't pile up on this person. That amounts to bullying. I can push and shove, but I can't kick a person when they are down.
Something isn't right in this situation. I'd rather not make it worse.
No I didn't imply that the OP was trolling or on drugs. Dazed did. That's instigating and it made the OP defensive, she revealed something about her OCD when she didn't need to and then became hostile with me. My only complaint is how it is nearly impossible for anyone to guess a movie when the person asking hardly remembers anything accurate from what they supposedly watched.
Furthermore, providing her with search engines that assist in finding the title of a movie isn't really going to help in this particular situation.
She shouldn't really feel bad or stupid. She should just realize that what she's asking for combined with her lack of accurate information makes it hard for those who want to help. That's where empathy should come into play. She should consider how we feel.
So this topic is a dead issue now. I'm done with it. Time to move on.
"Well the same should be told to Naps because the guy continues spreading lies about me and being extremely disrespectful towards me."
Nope. Haven't spread one lie. You're a troll; that's fact. If you're not (huge if), you're still a liar, crybaby, and all-around nasty be-atch
"he is a delusional person who doesn't listen to reason?"
Ummm... I'm not the one creating threads for no reason than to gain sympathy. I'm not the one constantly calling others out. I'm not the one who's being told its rude/hostile and denying it (that's called not listening). And I'm not the one wishing death on anyone. Keep talking shit. Seems to be all you're capable of.
Of course. Not trying to emulate the demander. But I'm also aware there have been 3 very similar questions, by 3 brand-new posters, within a week. Just trying to direct them to where they might get their questions answered most quickly....
Okay so new information came to me this morning. The end scene is where they go somewhere quiet and he thinks he is going to die. The gun goes off but the hit man ends up killing himself. I think he had a terminal disease. Could I be confusing a movie with an episode of breaking bad?
Try Midnight Run. Otherwise next time pay attention to what you are watching that way you don't need to come here asking us to find the title of a movie you barely watched. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Sorry. I just don't understand some people. He says that he got new information..then proceeds to give us an extremely vague description of the ending. He say "they go to a quiet place".
Well how did they get there? Who lead and what does this quiet place look like - a house, out in the woods- where?
How the hell are we supposed to know when he can't even describe the scene in detail. No actors names, no mention of the setting or time frame of the movie. Then he says he's getting the movie confused with a very popular show? Like how is that even possible?
Haven't you ever tried to remember something? Maybe as you get older you will realize this is common.
I have solved a few of these on clues less than this. It's a crap shoot.
You throw it out there in hopes somebody will remember something.
Watching a movie drunk, high, very young or just watching you don't always remember.
If you can remember everything you have ever seen then you are fortunate.
This is not always the norm.
I'm sorry but I'm not going to bother other people to find a title to a movie unless I can give them specific details of at least one scene. Otherwise, I don't bother trying to remember it because if I can't remember the details of at least one scene or what the movie was about then that movie or tv series wasn't worth my time watching which is why I probably wasn't paying attention in the first place.
And I find it rude to bother people about a movie if they were under the influence watching it. Don't play dumb games with me.
Not everybody is you. Quite a few people do this. Especially if they are desperate to find the movie.
You don't always have to be under the influence. This was an example.
It's not rude. It's just a desperate attempt to try to find out the name of a movie.
I don't think anybody is playing games. They just want to know. That's all
You could always skip it if you don't like it. Just sayin. :)
I do skip it but this time I really wanted the OP to know how I felt since it was because of someone like him asking us to help find a movie title is the reason Jim reversed the ignore feature.
So you think this person is trolling ?
I don't agree. I think they have tried on many different sites and then tried this one as
a last ditch effort.
Why would you use the ignore button on this person?
They have never responded or said anything about you.
I don't know if she's is trolling. All I know is that she really doesn't know much of anything about what she saw so how does she expect for us to recognize the scenes that she's confusing with a tv show? For all we know she could be confusing two tv shows with each other. It's impossible to tell and why bother trying to help. There is nothing you can do for her. And this is the case for most of the people who come here asking for help guessing a title.
I'm not attacking her and no what I've written in this thread is not anything like what I experienced and you know that. Stop instigating drama where there wasn't any.
That's fair but why even start anything? I don't get that.
Seems like too much work and energy to even mention anything if you don't like it.
Move on to something that you like instead of things you don't like.
I'm not instigating anything.
I'm actually one of the few people on here that doesn't think you're a troll.
Like it or not you're stuck with me.
I'm not defending anything or anybody. I've done my share of shitty things.
He was just defending his territory.
You have to admit when you are new to a site and come in and
start talking shit you will get noticed and called out on it.
Even after you get called on it you continue to be negative and post
negative things. You have to realize this.
Oh so you thought I was talking shit in Naps thread about ignoring trolls? Well to be fair, I wasn't but I specifically remember it was the rest of you talking shit in that thread. In fact that entire thread was created just to talk shit about trolls and how to handle them. Daps suggested that everyone ignore the trolls and then proceeds to target me as the troll named Bennie and start harassing me.
Well I'm not Bennie. I've never trolled this site.
If you ask me, you all are crazy and I'm the only sane person here. I bet you hate that. Lol
I don't think I was involved in that thread. Believe it or not
I didn't even know you existed until recently. Only when you started
posting a bunch of angry threads.
"It's not me It's everybody else." This is a typical persecutor delusion along
with MCD and probably IED. I also think you are addicted to drama.
Do you have friends or people in your life to talk with?
People only do things if they get something out of it.
Obviously you get something out of all this.
So it's either you trolling like naps said or you're so lonely that
you'll take any attention you can get. Even this kind of attention.
If it was that bad you wouldn't keep coming back.
What exactly are you getting out of coming to this site ?
I forgot to add avoidance. You really never answer anybody's questions.
You either say it doesn't apply to you, change the subject or
come back with anger.
No shame in admitting you might need some help
or that you need somebody.
You're just angry because I don't want to argue with you for days at a time. Normal people avoid negative confrontations. Normal people don't treat online forums as if it is their personal "hood" so there really isn't any excuse for Naps crazy behavior.
So I'm normal.
And you still haven't tried to help the OP even though you said that you could. Instead you confront me with a whole lot of psychobabble bullshit. That says a lot about you.
I really don't feel like continuing taking the brunt of this bizarre witch hunt. It's turning into abuse.
At least Margo is acting normal again. I suggest you follow her lead. Otherwise we have nothing else to say to one another.
If you read my comments I never said I could help her.
I couldn't help her that's why I didn't comment to her.
I let it be instead of commenting something negative.
I have a feeling my definition of "normal" and yours is quite
different.
This isn't a witch hunt. If you post angry and negative comments
you get the same in return. Pretty simple.
If something is not working in your life then change it.
Nobody can change you but you.
Having said this I will not be feeding your attention seeking
and drama addiction any longer. You will find eventually
people will tire of it. As I'm also sure by now you know that
one is a lonely number.
I wish you well.
That could easily be the biggest lie you've ever posted here, troll. Beyond the other lies about you not attacking her, troll. As godeway said, you didn't have to comment at all, but you went out of your way to be nasty for no reason. Surprised you didn't wish her dead, troll. That's being a troll...which you most definitely are.
Gonna report me? Good. And you'll get reported for being nasty to a new poster -- the same thing you're crybabying about -- as well as calling me out again, troll.
I have to ask. What is this achieving nappy? This incessant following around of Barclays, every other word troll this, troll that. You report me, I'll report you... This is some kindergarten level shit. You two are grown fucking adults, ffs!
For 6 months you've been going around, accusing everyone and their mother of being a troll or a sock /including me/. Are you operating on the principle "I'll just throw it out there, see if it sticks"? Is it paranoia? Is it a hobby? What is the end game here? Because the spamming line was crossed a long time ago.
Yes,Dazed...when and if i'll made a comment on this matter,i don't want to other members to believe that i'm either one side or another,or protecting someone...
Actually, Mina, I don't believe I ever called you a troll. If I did, can you please post the accusation?
And I haven't been accusing everyone and their mother. Most of those I did accuse turned out to be trolls and had their posts deleted.
"Are you operating on the principle "I'll just throw it out there, see if it sticks"? Is it paranoia? Is it a hobby?"
No, no, and no.
As far as "barclays" goes, sorry; someone wishes death on me and then continues to lie incessantly with call-out threads, then starts crying to get sympathy is gonna get it back. If it bothers you, I suggest not reading he responses.
Lest I be accused of lying too. It's a silly little comment, but why even throw such accusations out there willy-nilly?
"Most of those I did accuse turned out to be trolls and had their posts deleted." Most. What about the ones that weren't trolls? Are those considered collateral damage?
Thank you for answering those three questions. But what about these other two, the important ones:
What is this achieving? What is the end game here?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the situation with Barclays has been going on long before she wished you dead, hasn't it. As I said, it's reached the point of spamming, and I'm really working hard not to use a stronger word here.
I *can* not read the responses, just as you can not read Barclays responses. See how that applies to various people and situations. If all she wants is attention, why give her that?
Now to more general befuddlements: What are we doing, if we're jumping on new posters because they've asked a question, or because the number next to their user name is small? The bickering has moved to Jim's threads for god's sake! This is ridiculous.
I am not exempt. I participated in the whole Arvin thing and I post my share of OT comments. But come on, man, don't you think this is getting a little out of hand?
Edited because the formatting bug still isn't fixed.
reply share
First off, that comment didn't apply to you. The other poster I was referring to was ben. Sorry, Mina. You're wrong there.
"What about the ones that weren't trolls? Are those considered collateral damage?"
The very few who weren't proved that early on.
"What is this achieving? What is the end game here?"
No end game. Every time the psychopath lies or pulls its usual shit, it's gonna get called out.
"As I said, it's reached the point of spamming"
In your opinion. Actually it hasn't
"just as you can not read Barclays responses. See how that applies to various people and situations. If all she wants is attention, why give her that?"
When I'm called out, I'm gonna respond. When it's an obvious lie to garner sympathy, I'm gonna respond. I'm not the one giving it most of the attention by sympathizing with it.
"if we're jumping on new posters because they've asked a question, or because the number next to their user name is small?"
Again, depends on the question. You-know-who used all kinds of tacks, largely either putting down the site or starting out normal, then outing himself. The psychopath's very first post, which it has conveniently deleted, was about trolling. Others will remember. It also made a number of posts/comments putting down the site. And let's not forget the constant lashing out at anyone who criticizes it. Sorry, that's troll behavior.
" The bickering has moved to Jim's threads for god's sake! "
And who took it there, Mina? With a call-out post, no less? Again, no, I'm not gonna let that go unresponded to.
It really has. You're still going on and on about a single post that was deleted a week ago. You're "trolling" (to use your favorite word) all over these boards by responding to her posts and trying to bait her into an argument. Just like you've done in the past with MovieManCin and GuitarKing and who knows how many others.
reply share
You weren't the one wished dead. Not trying to bait it into anything. I really don't care if it responds. Just going to out every lie and Bs story it posts from now on.
As dar as GK and movieboy go, you call it baiting. I call it responding to zombies. And when one makes a statement about something insisting it's fact, particularly in what's happening in the world, they should be able to prove it instead of just repeating it.
"First off, that comment didn't apply to you."
I was wrong. I apologise.
"The very few who weren't proved that early on."
So, yes, they were collateral damage, and you're cool with attacking innocent posters? Or no, they were trolls as well, but never proven to actually be ones?
"No end game. Every time the psychopath lies or pulls its usual shit, it's gonna get called out."
If you don't have an end game, this is pretty much virtual masturbation. For you to be attacking and following her around to such an extent you have to be working towards something. Getting her banned, driving her off the site, making her change her behaviour... You still haven't answered the remaining question. What is this achieving?
"In your opinion. Actually it hasn't"
In your opinion. Actually, it has.
"When I'm called out, I'm gonna respond. When it's an obvious lie to garner sympathy, I'm gonna respond. I'm not the one giving it most of the attention by sympathizing with it."
No, you're the one giving her most of the attention by constantly engaging in her negativism and constantly baiting her. Isn't that what you do with alleged trolls to make them out themselves? To make them blow up the whole board? Yet she still remains /4 months now/, and all those socks and trolls are banned post heist.
"Again, depends on the question. You-know-who used all kinds of tacks,..."
So just to be safe we're going to attack any new posters. Just to be safe, for safety's sake.
"... Sorry, that's troll behavior."
The issue here isn't what Barclays is doing. The issue is what you're doing. Which is creating artificial drama.
"And who took it there, Mina?"
So she made a post about you harassing her. Maybe if you stopped engaging she wouldn't be able to make such accusations, and kind of have a point.
My suggestion is, you either come up with something more substantial on her, or you give it a rest. We don't need to be constantly told what she's doing. We are here, and we see it.
Sorry, calling someone out for wishing you dead, then saying it's no big deal is not creating artificial drama. Whining about being lonely/hating men, accusing people of conspiring against it, lashing out at almost everyone, creating lies... THAT'S creating artificial drama. So the issue is indeed what the psychopath is doing.
"So just to be safe we're going to attack any new posters"
Never said that, did I? It's not hard to tell the trolls from the actual posters.
"We are here, and we see it."
You may see it, but it apparently doesn't make a dent with many. What's more substantial than pointing out its nastiness, hypocrisy, anger, bullshit, and constant lying? But even you still choose to sympathize with it.
I'm not going to go into more specifics, because it's already been proven the mods here don't treat everyone equally.
Nah, the issue is still what you're doing. You've been on her before she wished you dead. Not only her mind. And we're all just the little froggies, stuck, in the pot you've been stirring.
If people like you didn't jump on any post that was off, these people would have no incentive to make any more of them.
If it doesn't make a dent with many, maybe it isn't the problem you think it is. Further more, you've never met a nasty person IRL? Do you follow _them_ around, shouting "Liar!" after them in the supermarket?
The Mods would treat you equally, if you provide proof for an actual infringement. Not two bickering children, locked in a "He said, She said". They might be slow and disorganised, but they get there eventually.
I would avoid the posts, if only I knew where they'd pop up. You two are like the Spanish Inquisition. But not as fun.
Really? You mean the way they let certain posters get away with pretty much everything? The way they give some posters bans and some a wrist-slap? Don't take my word alone; there's plenty of evidence here they do just that.
Nope. Not the first time he's disappeared. Not a ban. He always pulls his horns in when he's proven wrong on here.
And I have a question for you. You have no problem criticizing me. Why not apply that to the psychopath who was nasty to the OP here for absolutely no reason? Didn't see you taking it to task for that; asking it what it was hoping to accomplish by being a rude AH. Go try that for a while and let me know how it works out for you.
Naps, you know I like you, but you're creating SO MUCH drama. Most everyone is tired of it. All we want is to have fun and for this to be the friendly, congenial place it once was.
Barclays is not a psychopath. She's not the nicest poster here, for sure, but not only has she proven to me (and apparently others) by now she's not you-know-who, but also not an actual troll.
Think back to how all of this started. It was unfortunate timing that Barclays signed up and started posting right after a huge falderal with He Who Shall Not Be Named.
You suspected her, I suspected her, and she had every right to be put on the defensive from being falsely accused.
You have been *relentlessly* attacking her, keeping the fires of this stupid drama alive. She didn't even respond to you for months. No doubt because she really *did* have you on ignore, as well as me, just like she said she did, because she hasn't replied to any of my posts either.
Just STOP, for god's sake! You're not accomplishing anything except unnecessary drama. I think you enjoy fighting :/
First of all I am a she not a he. Second of all I am not bothering anybody. This is a movie forum people can choose to read my post and even better they choose whether or not they want to respond. If you don't like my post ignore it simple. If you think my post is stupid ignore it. Responding only makes you look stupid that you took time out of your day to be rude to me for no reason. Get a life. Oh and I apologise I don't have a fantastic memory sorry if my brain offended you!!
If you have solved a few of these with less information then guess the correct title for her. Why haven't you yet? I tried. You haven't. All you've done is ignore her needs and jumped right to interrogating me. Why is that?
I am afraid that I can't be of any help. One of the things I enjoy about a movie message board is the people who can help you remember films you enjoyed long ago. Please don't be discouraged. Please don't go away. Many of the people here are very nice.
I welcome you. New people are always welcome here!
I do hope you find the movie you are looking for.
