I'm starting a new, daily feature of this great thread. It's called "Basil's Overlooked Filmspotter of the Day!!woot!!". Sometimes it will be someone who hasn't been here in ages; other times it will be someone who just doesn't post very often.
Here is today's pick:
fireantburial got his start December 12, 2006, and was last seen around here on December 12, 2006. He hails from Philadelphia, PA, and seems to have an obsession with either kosher, bacon, or lobster (all three?). His screen name is one of my personal favorites, and I like to think that there is some deeply personal and meaningful story behind it. Though his first and second of three posts related to a complaint about some oversights in poll questions, he bounced back by suggesting a marathon consisting of "Bond-Influenced" films, among them:
Austin Powers
Shaft
The Hunt for Red October
XXX
The Nude Bomb
Inspector Gadget
While a brilliant idea in theory, the only problem is that whoever would partake in the marathon would have to sit through
XXX. Also, I like to think that almost everyone has seen those first three. Still, perhaps one day he will be honored properly with a variation on his idea.
Way to go fireantburial, you are the first "Basil's Overlooked Filmspott of the Day!!woot!!"!
