 Quoting: dazz69au?Where do you view comments? ![Sad [:(]](/Emoticons/depressed.gif)
Ummmmm....... I just clicked on the "give reputation' thingy below the studio link. but a comment could be on anyone of your posts, you just have to go through them all. I think, but there has to be an easier way.

Re: Introduce yourself to the community here
Ok guy's good to see you all getting involved. This is what this thread is all about, a chance to get to know each other. I have written a lot about myself on earlier posts in this thread, and to keep it on topic, we have been asked by the mods (Fluke) to share a bit about ourselves.
So guy's, tell us a bit about yourselves.
Here is how I introduced myself, back on page 3.
 Quoting: rjb2112
A bit about myself then.
My name is Roger, I'm 41 years old, and I am married to Alex (Alexandra), who is my soulmate. She is disabled, and an American (explains the hugging thing). I look after her full time, And we live in Eastbourne, England (The sunshine coast).
I gave up work to look after Alex about two years ago, before that I was a plumber.
We live with our little dog Tuc (he's on my studio logo down below).
The first person who welcomed and helped me into the community was Glynner, who has now gone on to become a teacher. He is currently without a PC, which is why we haven't seen him about.
A lot of people have been very kind to me since, and I count many of them as friends now. I won't list them all, because there of so many of you, but special thank you's to L. and to G. you know who you are.
I have never been involved in forums before, so this community is a real eye opener for me. It has restored my faith in human nature. Really it has. There are a lot of really good people here on TMO.
I run an open door policy, anybody who ever wants a chat can contact me anytime. Anyone who has spoken to me on MSN will confirm that I am a total chatterbox. ![Happy [:)]](/Emoticons/happy.gif)
So what do I like about TMO?
Friendship and community obviously.
I also like the fact that I get to meet people from all over the world. There are so many nice people here, for who their first language is not English, that make a huge effort to fit in this community. This something I appreciate a lot.
I also like those little expressions of ourselves, that we call movies.
Why do I like them?
Well, I don't watch many real films anymore, and I watch very little TV. Much of it is aimed at the lowest common denominator, because of financial reasons. They have to put out a product which will have the most viewers. So artistic and intelligent films are rare.
But here on TMO, real money is not a factor. So even though there is a lot of complete garbage here, there is also a goldmine of exceptional films.
What I mean by this is. When I watch a film, I like to feel a connection with the writer/director. A bit like when you read a book. I like to feel the emotion that was put into the story, without the idea having being diluted for popular appeal. A good example of this, is the Film Pretty Woman, in the original version, the female lead dies. But most people like a happy ending, so it was changed.
On TMO, you will find a lot of films that don't fit the Hollywood mould, they don't always have a happy ending. They can often reflect reality in a way that most real films don't.
I'll give a few examples: Take the recent release 'Deception' by JohnOkinowa. Erin of Erinnicole93 does a VO in the film, she felt the part she played upsetting to do. This real tension of this comes across in the film. That kind of depth and reality can not be found in mass marketed movies. Take also chocolatemouse's 'We Closed Our Eyes', With a combination of music, audio clips, imagery, and a few subtitles, she managed to convey a whole wealth of emotion, that made me sit down and rethink my whole attitude to WW2.
These kind of emotions are rarely found in Hollywood, there are exceptions, Schindlers list comes to mind.
So what I have found is that TMO movies, fill a need for me, they give me a direct connection with the creators of the films. That is why many of you who have been reviewed by me, will note that I often comment on the emotional quality, rather than the technical quality.
So for me TMO is my TV.

Re: Introduce yourself to the community here

Re: Introduce yourself to the community here
Q:How long have you been part of TMO?
A few weeks maybe?
Q:What do you like best about the community?
It's vibrant.
Q:Which member(s) really made you feel welcome when you arrived here?
No idea. Nobody waved their flags and rolled out the red carpet for me, but nobody has made me feel unwelcome either. I mainly just started posting to help out new people, I haven't really formed any attachments to anybody, other than sharing occasional jokes with.

Re: Introduce yourself to the community here
To add some more personal sharing (man that sounded hokey) that is related to the Movies, I'm very happy to announce that my lovely and talented boyfriend has just agreed to compose some custom music for me for movies. Well not just agreed as it's 3 am here in California right now, and he, unlike me, goes to bed at a reasonable hour. But still. And he has a microphone (I may finally stop mentioning my lack of one in every post now). It's buried in storage at the moment but still. My voice may finally make it online. So excited I could spit. But I won't. Because that would be gross.
What's really cool is the pod/amp thingy he uses (has various affects and such) connects to my PC so he can just dump the tracks straight on there for me (and I think it can save in ogg format). I might even be able to use it for some of the vocal recordings. Now I just need to find my stupid Photoshop disk.

Re: Introduce yourself to the community here
No I nabbed Jason for his cooking skills. He's a great dancer too. And he sings pretty. And he spins records. Writes great love letters. Plays a mean game of chess. Likes science fiction and zombie flicks. Bought me the entire "of the Dead" series. Lets me subject him to really awful movies. Plays video games. Will go see plays I'm working on. Doesn't mind that I talk all the time. Gets that said talking is a nervous habit because I'm a shy kid who overcompensated with caffine. Plus he's pretty.
I'm hopeless.
And because I miss the gif I usually use for my signature (gets shaped all mushy in the sig tags):

Re: Introduce yourself to the community here
Well, just to add something to my personal record...
I'm a great cook.
No, seriously.
I'll give a dinner next Friday, with my recent creations (there is guacamole involved). If someone can pass by here, is invited!
There is a emergency pizzeria near here, just in case.
