Welcome sir! Dig around, bump old threads, frolic about, do what ya do.

Another Scottish laddie... or are you a lassie? Anyway, welcome to the jungle.

Welcome!

Confused Matthew was super cool about that whole thing, everyone over here was properly impressed by how well he took a bunch of dudes on the internet chastising him. 

Hello, you can call me Maajika. I prefer not to use my first name on the internet so there.

I like anime, video games, and movies. However, I tend to find that any of the three combined do not pan out so well.

I joined the forum because I love the Down In Front crew and because I wanted to have a hand in helping with the new title. I'll have to see what else I can do now! This is the first forum I've ever signed up for so...yep.

Ok I'm new, so quick introduction:

I'm Kate, I live in New Zealand (not a hobbit but I do have a handful of Lord of the Rings anecdotes), I have a BA in English (hah!) and Media Studies (read: film/tv) and also write YA novels in my spare time (what I have of it!).

I actually don't know how I ended up here, but I started out listening to your Serenity commentary and loved it, and have kept listening and working my way through most commentaries and intermissions since. (Makes tedious tasks at work much more interesting to have friends in my head.)  I also listened to your Twilight commentary really early on and thought it was great, it pulled apart what was so wrong with the story without being completely negative (though I have no idea how/why anyone finds Robert Pattinson attractive, totally agree they could've cast a potato and girls would've still swooned because they were totally brainwashed into believing Edward = gorgeous. I worked at a summer camp in NH for a few summers and used to host 'critical readings' of Twilight, by reading out chapters and re-enacting them with the help of rag dolls we made in Arts & Crafts - almost as charismatic as the movie's stars).

What else... - I love all things created by Joss (wait, except Dollhouse, I never really got that one); the last movies I saw were Star Trek Into Darkness (enjoyed it) and Iron Man 3 (hated it with a passion).

And I'm at work right now so I should go do work things.

I actually met a guy just last weekend who lives in Tasmania.   It was sort of surreal - like meeting someone from Narnia.  Or the moon.
