About Me |
|
| Cinephile? Movie lover? Film fan? Repository of mostly useless film facts & trivia? All of the above. I am thinking that My Space will be a good way for me to get some of my ideas about film out of my brain and seen by others. I also think that it can facilitate an exchange of ideas about cinema, and so please let me know what you are thinking about films past and present. Check my blog for some of my thoughts on film, and please respond with your own ideas. See my pics page for a gallery of film stills and movie posters. | |
