FLM Origins: First Post

[Moonee]

YOU * HAVE * NEVER * WATCHED * ALIENS ???!!!!??
One of the most fucking awesome action movies ever? Best if you can manage to watch on a larger screen if at all possible. Newt has tons of screentime maybe because so much of the cast gets killed off, and she is the entire reason I have seen the movie dozens of times. For a short bit she refuses to speak because she is traumatized. (Aliens cocooned and parasitized her family, after all.) Once Ripley manages to break through the ice, she talks plenty.

Okay, by the sounds of it, I'll have to watch Aliens

So, I was totally wrong on the mute part

(Also, I've never watched leon the professional but I've watched Man on Fire)

I am pretty sure that Leon was the very first movie posted at FLM.

I am pretty sure that Leon was the very first movie posted at FLM.

THAT is an intriguing idea! All from a historical perspective, imo: Which movie WAS first to be posted at FLM?

Is there a way to check the archives to determine it? Maybe Rich [now 'Visiting'] or possibly even ghost.. I believe he was a founding member..

I don't want to muck up this Dust Bunny thread, [especially BEFORE the movie's even been posted] but I'm kinda curious now.. (If it piques anyone else's interest, maybe I could start a thread in the 'General' forum.. )

Oh! Wait!!

Night already didit!! Thank you! Thank you, Sir Night!

kev.

There's 5 more threads that was created before Leon but they no longer exist today

Leon's FLM link is - viewtopic.php?t=6

There's a 6 at the end of the link which means this was the 6th thread created on FLM, 7th thead was Amazone, 8th thread no longer exists, 9th thread was Angyali üdvözlet and so on

I tried checking 1-5 but the requested topics doesn't exist (Which I'm guessing was deleted or somehow disappeared).. I did hear FLM did have threads randomly disappearing/deleted at one point


Edit: You can also see which was the first post ever on FLM by changing the t in the link to a p (t means topic/thread.. p means post)

The first post in the Leon thread was the 7th post on FLM (viewtopic.php?p=7)

The first 6 posts that was posted on FLM no longer exists

Sorry about my off topic, thought some of you would find this information really interesting

[Night457]

DA-AMN Moonee, you are a much better investigator than I was! Your technique makes so much sense. I think what I did was go to the account of first member (and founder) Rich and check out his first existing post. More accurately, Leon was the first thread that I could FIND. I realized that some threads were lost when the site temporarily went away some decades ago.

2nd-listed member infiniter has not been here for 7 years; 3rd-listed member ghost is here but I have to wonder what exactly he remembers from 21 years ago. I do not remember much of anything myself, but I was not at FLM.

[Moonee]

So, the big question I'm sure we're all dying to find out is what was the very first thread on FLM? (Or maybe even what was the first 5 threads)

Rich might be able to tell us if he can remember back to 2004.. Though I don't like the chances
Does he have very good memorisation

[citronleaf]

Maybe some of them were introductory threads, like "Hey check this out! This is what the site is about." I have never created a site myself but a statement of purpose is a good possibility for first posts. Whether or not he remembers the beginnings, I hope Rich still visits here... Thank you Rich for this great site!

ghost is here but I have to wonder what exactly he remembers from 21 years ago.

I'm glad when I can remember my name and date of birth.

Aren't we a bit off toipc now?

I guess it would also check out with Rich's own account of events

My initial interest in girl movies originated from the film Leon (1994), like so many other guys from that era one could not help but fall for the performance of Mathilda

This is a new thread about the ancient history of FLM.
