Alright MoFos, I'm ready for my close-up

[Redwell]

Noice forum you guys have here. Honestly the least toxic online community I've ever joined. Consider this thread an awkward first date. Here are 10 things about me to break the ice:

1. Watching Jackie Chan and Van Damme flicks defined my childhood, as well as magical trips to the local movie rental shops.

2. The Cure (1995) was the first movie to make me cry. Followed by Jack starring Robin Williams and The Extremely Goofy Movie.

3. The only other forums I've frequented were rap music oriented with surprisingly strong movie communities. I like Nas, Young Thug, Aesop Rock, Lil Herb, Ghostface Killah, Scarface, etc. A fan of music in general.

4. Pacific Rim was a transcendent experience for somebody who grew up with big stacks of Power Ranger VHS tapes.

5. Before Sunrise and There Will Be Blood made movies a bigger deal for me in high school. As did the rest of PTA and Linklater's movies. Other white boy directors like Tarantino and Wes Anderson as well.

6. I hate rating movies numerically, but I'm conforming on Letterboxd for some reason.

7. The Seventh Seal, Synecdoche N.Y., & 8 1/2 got me into existential cinema. Showed me the philosophical side of movies. The college years angst is real.

8. Boxing and MMA are two other chief interests of mine.

9. I should drink tea instead of coffee. I should read more.

10. I watch Jingle All The Way every Christmas.

Bonus Fact: It took me two days to find this subforum.

I look forward to a thread where we both make a motion for the check at the same time.

1. Watching Jackie Chan and Van Damme flicks defined my childhood, as well as magical trips to the local movie rental shops.
So, we're pretty much best friends already.

4. Pacific Rim was a transcendent experience for somebody who grew up with big stacks of Power Ranger VHS tapes.
At the end of the first episode where they turn into the Megazord I instantly thought "THAT WAS SO COOL BUT WHERE DO THEY GO FROM HERE????" Turns out the answer was: they just keep doing that a lot, and then every now and then add a new person.

6. I hate rating movies numerically, but I'm conforming on Letterboxd for some reason.
I dub this "Peer to peer pressure."

9. I should drink tea instead of coffee. I should read more.
Don't forget: getting into jazz.

The price of a clean layout, I'm afraid.

And oh yeah: welcome to Movie Forums.

I'll take white people who saw Whiplash and Birdman for 500, Alex.

This already feels like A Thing.

Personally, I prefer to be referred to as cracker or marshmallow.

Yup, I was just thinkin' that to.:D

But what the heck, Welcome Redwell!

Parallelism. This is high brow self deprecation.

Welcome! I think you will fit in just fine here. :D

Parallelism. This is high brow self deprecation.
I assumed as much; the phrase "white people" in that kind of context seems to be overwhelmingly used by white people.

For example: I just used it, and I'm white!

You're green. Hi, Redwell.

I'm pretty sure Vine exists to document this phenomena.

1) Leaves of Grass is underrated.
2) It definitely introduced "curb stomp" into my lexicon.
3) Horror fans are some of the best. Good people.

I'm white, but I got into Jazz about twenty-eight years ago, as a natural extension of my love for Blues music, which was a natural extension from listening to lots of R&B, which was a natural extension from loving Rock & Roll, which was a natural extension of being born a human being on planet Earth. Some of you just don't keep progressing, or haven't gotten to that larval stage yet, and feel you have to lump what you don't understand into some kind of pretension you can ***** on. That's cool, but you'll learn as you get older. Or maybe you won't, and your musical taste will be retarded so that you'll like nothing new, ever? Whichever.

:D

Me? Not a big Clash fan. Jazz-wise I like some John Zorn, Sonny Sharrock, Hubert Laws, Herbie Mann, etc.

[Swan]

Isn't a Clash fan. But likes other good stuff. A fine compromise.

There are quite a few bands I should like and don't. Black Sabbath as well. Maybe one day.

[honeykid]

You're fine not liking The Clash. Overrated pseudo wankers.

[Gatsby]

Damn I love this new guy already. Welcome to Movie Forums :)

[BlueLion]

Welcome, you seem to have good taste. Except for Possession which is a terrible movie.

It's definitely polarizing. http://www.bdwf.net/forum/images/smilies/smiley_shrug%5B1%5D.gif

The few of the ten facts i have any clue what you're talking about, 1, 5, 7, 8 and 10 means :up:, looking at everything i think you'll be JJs other best friend ;)

I always forget to check this forum. :o

The event that was going to rent movies is something that will be lost on later generations. It was usually proceeded by a day's worth of begging and an eventual near nuclear explosion of "Will you kids please sthu about going to get a movie". :laugh:

Scarface is one of the most criminally underrated mc/producers of all-time.

Glad to see you found us Red. :highfive:
