Introduce Yourself

[Barthalen]

Greetings! The name is Barthalen, I come from a small town somewhere in the dark underbelly of Holland, and I've been using Criticker a while but never really explored the forums before.

I'm more or less your basic nerdy type; I enjoy comics, sci-fi books, whiskey, card games, all things Lovecraftian, and about every kind of movie apart from romantic comedies. I'm always on the lookout for cool horror or martial arts films I have missed, so feel free to send some titles my way if you feel like it!

Oh, and... not sure if others have this too, but... I really enjoy receiving stars for my reviews! And giving them, of course. But there's just something cool about logging in to criticker to find that someone liked something you've written. ...Maybe I'm just a sucker in search of validation, I dunno.

Anyhoo, I really love the site and can't count the number of times I discovered a movie that I otherwise would not have found through someone's review or a site-generated recommendation. So I plan on sticking around here a while longer, that's for sure. Take care, all!

Hey, my name's Bandy. Actually, no, it's not.

Sorry that I lied and we got off on the wrong foot. I hope you can forgive me enough in a few years to flash me a knowing glance when you fill my soup bowl at the local soup kitchen, baby.

Oh!

Hello,


My name is Eric and I live in Des Moines, Iowa. Naturally being from Iowa I spend my time reenacting the film "Field of Dreams" cause this place is lousy with corn. When I am not "having a catch" with my ghost dad, I enjoy writing introductions about myself on film recommendation websites (so this place was a dream come true let me tell you).

The first movie I ever saw was "A Clockwork Orange" when I was 33. I am 34 now and have been hooked ever since! I am anxiously awaiting part two.

In all seriousness I am loving the site and often use it to choose whether to watch something, either by my projected score, or your reviews. I chose the lazy way out and wrote something silly, because most of you are much more articulate and charming than myself.

Hullo, names Matthew, and for all I know I'm acting waaaayyy too smart about movies being only in high school. I'd like to think that I have better 'tastes' than a lot of kids, but I am into comedies with a smart twist, soft sci-fi (techno-babble turns me off) and I always enjoy a well-executed animated film, weather it be a Disney family classic or an underground dark-themed anime filled with gore, violence, and the supernatural. But I'm not really into dry, stuffy old films, even if some people call them 'classics'. For example, I found Blade Runner to be very long and dull, even though I understand it's extreme importance and status in the sci-fi community. While at the same time I thought the Dawn of the Dead remake to be pretty entertaining and fun.

Either way I'm a total list-lover, so a website dedicated to listing all my favorite films makes for instant bookmark!

Blade Runner and the Dawn of the Dead remake are "dry, stuffy old films"? Give your head a shake, young man.

Oh and welcome.

I have been re-watching Deadwood and crack up every time I see Richardson.

The stuff with him [spoiler]worshiping the deer head on the wall[/spoiler] is priceless.

I like movies and lists, but that's not very suprising since I've become a member of this site.
