Introduce yourself


Hi everyone. Let's take a minute to introduce ourselves and learn more about each other. Share something about yourself and what you like. My name is Steve. I'm a 36 year old straight Canadian Christian. I love movies, tv, and NFL football. My favourite team is the Green Bay Packers. My favourite shows include The Simpsons, Grey's Anatomy, Big Bang Theory, This is Us, Westworld, Bates Motel, and Game of Thrones. My favourite films include Ben-Hur (1959), Gone With the Wind, Schindler's List, 2001, Psycho, The Departed, Pulp Fiction, Citizen Kane, The Godfather, and 8 1/2. I used to post semi-regularly on the religion board and sometimes on movie awards, film general and specific film and tv show boards. Now it is your turn to introduce yourself.

I know a little about everything, yet not nearly enough about one thing or another (Jack of all Trades). I've had about 3 lifetimes of experiences, and have no regrets.
Pet peeves: racist, and bigoted, people.

I'm a 40 something stay at home mom in the US. I like Italian horror/giallos, Hong Kong action, British sitcoms, MST3K, and pretty much any 70s and 80s horror as long as its not too bleak. I'm making a concerted effort to watch more classic films so I subscribe to Warner Archive, and I get Sling so I can do the addon with TCM and Fandor.

Living in a small country from eastern europe called Romania


Glad he explained what's Romania.

reply

What is this Roo-may-nee-ya you speak of?

reply

lol

There's always the possibility he's fucking with us all and lives in Des Moines Iowa.

reply

My understanding is that he got banned from here about 3 years ago, tried several times to return under various socks, but got booted every time. I gather he went over to Filmboards, but I have no hard evidence on this.

reply

Oh he's on filmboards alright. 🀣 He was a mod, maybe he still is.

I had been going back and forth with him for years.

reply

I never got caught up in his circus.

reply

Lol. He can be fun. He told me to fuck off once and I banned him.

Hi, nice to officially meet you, Steve (I recall talking with you during the Academy Awards earlier this year). And hi, MC posters! Been a while since I posted here, so I thought I'd introduce myself...

West Coast American here... I love the music of George Harrison, e.s.t., Miles Davis, R.E.M., Paul Simon, Nick Drake, Jimi Hendrix, Chucho ValdΓ©s, Mongo SantamarΓ­a, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johann Sebastian Bach, Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, AndrΓ©s Segovia, and more... I love the writings of Jorge Luis Borges, the poetry of Pablo Neruda, the photography of Henri Cartier-Bresson... I love the Earth, the Milky Way seen across a desert sky at 3AM in summer, I love people. I love the thought of tomorrow. Always grateful for life because everything and everyone I love is in it or has passed through it.

Some of my favorite films or TV series are North by Northwest, Yojimbo, 8 1/2, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stroszek, Fitzcarraldo, Night on Earth, Band of Brothers, and Y Tu MamΓ‘ TambiΓ©n.

Some of my favorite filmmakers are Michael Haneke, Werner Herzog, Jim Jarmusch, Stanley Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa, and Kelly Reichardt. Curious to see more of Olivier Assayas, Shane Carruth, Pablo LarraΓ­n, Kenneth Lonergan, and Jeff Nichols.

Some of my favorite actors are Javier Bardem, Juliette Binoche, Steve Buscemi, Paul Dano, Gael GarcΓ­a Bernal, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cary Grant, Isabelle Huppert, Matthew McConaughey, Toshiro Mifune, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Keanu Reeves, Sam Rockwell, Michael Shannon, and Tilda Swinton. Curious to see more of Sarah Gadon, Rinko Kikuchi, Jack O'Connell, Saoirse Ronan, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Tye Sheridan.

On the erstwhile IMDb discussion boards, I used to post on specific movie and actor boards, and that's probably where I'll often be here, too. I also visited and occasionally posted on IMDb's Movie Awards board.

Sometimes I fall out of my movie chat groove. I have a tendency to bump old threads when I come back. :) Nice to be here.

reply

I'm bumping this for any newish members and anyone else who hasn't seen it and wants to comment something about themselves.

reply

Hello, all. First let me say I am astounded by he number of movies Allaby has seen. His lists are pretty amazing.

I'm a 60-year-old male. Born and raised in New York City. I served four years in the Marine Corps in the 1980s. I moved to Reno, Nevada six years ago.

On the IMDb boards I was a regular contributor on the Seinfeld board. We had a very long running thread (years) called Baker's Dozen. But I liked to jump around, too.

My favorite spectator sport is ice hockey, and my chief hobby is home audio equipment. I'm fond of vodka and cigarettes.

My favorite film is 2001: A Space Odyssey.

reply

Allaby is one of our top movie gurus

I love Seinfeld, it's one of the best comedies ever (All in the Family is up there too!)

I collect vinyl records and love Rum and Menthols

Let's agree to disagree on favorite movies...'Buddy Mode' activatedπŸ˜‰πŸ»

reply

You betcha.

reply

what is your favorite NHL team?

reply

Back in the day, of course the Rangers. Nowadays, I don't really have a favorite team. I suppose it should be Las Vegas. I kinda like the Predators.

reply

I'm good with NHL hockey. Follow it pretty close, but not as close as some.

reply

MYOB!

reply

You don't have to introduce yourself if you don't want to. It is totally optional and just for fun for those who wish to participate. No need to get mad or upset.

reply

Is her name Sally Sue?

reply

It can't be. My name is Sally Sue! There can only be one Sally Sue.

reply

Aww c'mon slimone, we're all Nigerian princes here and we just need your Social Security # to collect a $10 million inheritance...We also need you to wire us $10,000...it's complicated

reply

Dude! You joke but I worked with a guy who did it. He sent 5k in 2009.

reply

Hilarious!

reply

reply

reply

Can we have up update please - asking for a friend.

reply

Check’s in the mail.

reply

Everybody loves a happy ending.

reply

I just sent croft another $1000.00. Still waiting on that laptop.

reply

He recently claimed he shot his horse...I suspect he's too busy shooting up the barnyard to respond to our laptop orders:/

reply

Croft shot his horse? I missed this. 😊😊😊😊😊

reply

Yep...he said he shot it 'in the skull:/'

He apparently learned nothing from that stupid dog -axing joke

Funny guy but a bit of a dipshit

reply

🀣 for "shooting up the barnyard." Yes, I missed this episode, too.
