I'm new here

Oh so many. I was a film student, and before that I had already seen tons of stuff. When I was a teenager I loved heavy dramas. Super cry-worthy stuff. My favorite movie growing up (and probably still) is Stand by Me. I felt like one of those boys on that adventure, but it was before my time, and I feel nostalgia for a time I've never known. I still feel it and dramas set in the 50s and 60s are some of my favorites. I love Todd Haynes' Far From Heaven with Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid.

I am actually very into sci-fi, but not as much as when I was younger. Fantasy is more my style. Lord of the Rings came out at a very pivotal time in my life, so I do love that, and the books of course. I hated the new Hobbit movies though. The 70s animated one is a great adaptation.

Conan the Barbarian is like a drug for me, I need it every so often. It's so good.

Most fantasy and horror from the 80s I like. These two genres in particular looked great in the 80s, even when they were bad.

I like pirate movies. Not necessarily of the Caribbean (though the first one is great.) I am really into the Disney Treasure Island, Shipwrecked (1990), and all adaptations of Mutiny on the Bounty.

Indie dramas of the new millenium. Mysterious Skin, Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, Little Miss Sunshine, Love & Mercy, Youth, The Place Beyond the Pines. I will first go to classics, but these newer things are grabbing me a lot these days.

My favorite directors are Orson Wells, Hitchcock, Kubrick, the Coen Brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Neil Jordan.

Yeah I'll give you that one. Are you the one who does the "what did you watch this week" threads. I like those.

I never really thought of it that way. That is pretty funny.

Always good to have your back to the wall in a pub like this, innit.

Red and black is a very sexy color combo but she knows she'll never subjugate me.
