Are you a family man Kowalski? I still live with parents!

Shocker!

Signed, million man.

Yeah, like that 1989 Wes Craven horror film "Shocker", lol. :) Come to think of it, if you knew my whole life story, maybe it won't be a surprise.

I'm glad she gets to expand her film genre expertise and you get to re-watch some old favourites.

Most girls I knew grew up on action movies and loved them thanks to their dads, myself included. Loved Rambo, Sidekicks, Lethal Weapon, The Crow, Rush Hour, The Mummy, Men In Black, The Fifth Element and a whole bunch of martial arts films, like The Golden Child and Street Fighter. The amount of Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal and Van Damme movies I've seen is probably embarrassing to some, but that was just growing up for me and many of my female friends.

I've been introducing my lil bro to the works of Tarantino as well. We watch Jackie Brown a few months ago.

And Reservoir Dogs just a few weeks back. Those were our last 2.

He's definitely a new fan. Next up, the works of Fincher, Scorsese & I'm most definitely adding Rodriguez to that list

Why are you shouting?

His caps lock is broken - you’ll get used to it.

1987 WAS A GREAT YEAR...MY FAVORITE YEAR FOR FILMS.

reply

Awesome! I've never seen either one...I bet I'd like both of these myself (especially "Reservoir Dogs"). I'd be interested in hearing if your daughter liked it and what her favorite movies are.
