[edit] A little about me

I am a fan of things like old video games (Especially NES and Sega Genesis), David Cronenberg films (Mainly pre-Naked Lunch, but Existenz and A History of Violence I like too), Joe Dante films, John Carpenter films, Chuck Norris, extreme criticism of B-movies trying to persuade people that Troll 2 is the worst film ever, The Cure, Pink Floyd, Rush, other "old" rock and alternative rock bands as well (Just too many to list), VHS tapes (DVD's just don't seem right to me), old logos on those tapes, and the best TV show ever made, Mystery Science Theater 3000.
