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.
