I do try, but I think it speaks to the strength of the forums that all of us have at the very least a few movies we discovered because of this place. I would never have seen Le Fils, Paris, Texas, Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans, and a bunch more if not for people at FS pimping them. Heck, I even thank FLY most of the time, because when he vehemently insists a movie is terrible I know it's most likely quite good and I should check it out.  ;D

And there's, of course, the holy grail of filmspotting forum discoveries, Chunking Express.

That Gregg Araki movie? That's the one movie you're psyched about having discovered here?

yeah, it was awesome.  and it inspired me to revisit Araki's old stuff - The Living End, Totally F***ed Up, and The Doom Generation - which were all great, as well as finally checking out Mysterious Skin, which i also love

weird - I don't read the reviews (even on this forum/podcast) before I see a film so when browsing thru the write about the last movie you saw thread I skip right past anything I've not seen before.  I the only one that does this?  Of course some titles take on mem status (JD) and you just can't help having them in yr head when browsing for what to watch (i'll get there at some point).

(BTW skjerva - I didn't forget about yr animation dictation... its just on "very long wait" from BB)

no problem, i've also not yet watched my animation :(  or last month's Brothers Bloom from Junior (i didn't have a lot of going to the theatre time slots open early in the dictation when the film was probably still around, the last two/three weeks when i have had some time i would look for it, but it had disappeared, maybe it will resurface at a buck-house).  i also have yet to watch Bill's Third Man Cannes dictation (though i did start it one night, but the time didn't seem right).  i also owe 3 write-ups (i think, one of them music) of dictations i did complete :(

i pretty much do the same thing with reviews - skip em if i haven't yet seen em
