Hi, I'm Dave!

Come to think of it - why yes, I AM single.

/also likes coffee and doughnuts

That guy deserves a web-redemption.

I disappear for a year and you have a new format and a lot of new topic-specific-episodes...
well, I guess I might as well reintroduce myself around here.

Nothing much to say, Milton from Venezuela.  I love movies, I keep a little media collection of the movies I like and/or find particularly interesting and your show/podcast/audio-thingie gives me an opportunity to re-watch some of my favorite movies and my not so favorite and enjoy them in a whole new light

Thank you for that.

(not actually me)

Welcome back, sir!

Hi, I'm Sean! Or jakezing/Jake, or Mikal/Mikalos/Mikalosa, really it depends on what website I'm on and none of those names mean absolutely anything, the first being the name i typed for Gamefaqs back in 2005 and Mikalos just being the string of letters i typed for my username change in 2009.

I'm 19, A history Major (yay waste of time!) and Found Down in Front through the Tvtropes Article on "Alternate DVD Commentary" about... 2 months ago. My worst insjury was... not a clue, i don't really get any injuries.

... My interest in films is academic and enjoyment, and has been somewhat influenced after spending 3 years listening to The -former- Tipping Forties, a Lets Play/film group from Arizona on the Something Awful LP subforum.  My Favorite movie i usually give is New Hope because of it and star wars general influence on me and my creativity style. (And because i;m lazy and have never really thought about "whats my favorite movie")

<.<

Hey, I put the DiF mention on that page! Teague, I'll be collecting my check now.

Hi folks - My name is Barry Ingram and I am from down in the Louisiana bayou here in Plaquemine.  I'm a lifelong geek/dork/nerd.

I pay the mortgage by gainful employment by the State of Louisiana as an attorney.  My first and best love is probably all things Star Trek, although I like lots of other wide-ranging stuff as well, but mostly I read and watch science fiction related things.  Probably the geekiest thing I do is I made a Klingon uniform and headpiece and go to conventions (when I can afford them).  I've been lucky enough to hang out, drink bloodwine, and sing Klingon songs with the actors that play Gowron and Martok, and Vaughn Armstrong, who played Korris, the first Klingon in TNG.  There's a group of us in Louisiana & Texas that do the Klingon stuff, and we try to get together as often as we can to drink and do "combat" with padded & neutered Klingon weapons (bat'leth, mek'leth & dak'tagh).  It's a lot of fun.

I found DIF through another of my favorite podcasts, "Geek Fights".  One of your panelists was on it and plugged DIF.  Checked it out, and I think you guys are great.  I do love the "inside baseball" aspect by having folks that are in the film industry give us a different perspective on the films. 

Probably, my worst injury was an ankle sprain/strain when I stepped wrong on second base while umpiring a high school baseball game.  I used the clinic-issued crutches to get to my car and said "fuck this" and limped for the next few days until it healed.

Pizza-  New York Style crust, most anything on top, but partial to onions and mushrooms.

Sorry, no sister, but I can be persuaded to dress like the Doctor's companion of your choice for the right incentive.

I really enjoy the show you guys put on.  Keep up the good work!

Qa'pla!

Barry Ingram

We should invite more motherless filth to join us, as well!
[in klingon, them's fightin' words... ;-P ]

At last! A Cajun Klingon lawyer! I've been saying we need one of those for ages, but Teague never listened....

Welcome!

Welcome sir.

Your pizza sounds good, actually, now I'm hungry.

Well, I'm about two years too late with this, as I joined back in the winter of 2010, but I only just bothered to look at this thread and realize what it was for, and I haven't posted on these forums too much, so...better late than never.

I've been listening to DiF since 2010, when I was fourteen. My initial discovery of the podcast was due to its involvement in the Lightsaber Choreography Competition; I was watching some of the entries and saw that they had commentaries. Curious, I decided to watch one. Then I saw that Dorkman was involved. Full stop. Dorkman? As in THE Dorkman? The one who made the Youtube short film I have watched dozens of times and shown to family and friends? I had to check this out, and decided to start at the beginning, with the commentary on The Phantom Menace. Less than ten minutes in, I was hooked.

Since then, the guys have indeed become four "friends in my head". I have spent countless hours listening and re-listening to episodes, drawing odd looks from family members as I burst into snorts of laughter. Finding the podcast was a huge turning point in my life; you guys were the ones who first encouraged me to think critically about the storytelling of the movies I was watching (and I can think of no better introduction to critical thinking than listening to you guys lay utter waste to the prequels). While I have definitely become more cynical since my discovery of the show, I don't think that's a bad thing. Thanks so much to you guys for what you've taught me and all the laughs you've given me; it means a lot.

Now, as to my own interests: my first and greatest love is reading, but film has been a huge part of my life ever since I was introduced to the original Star Wars trilogy by my parents at the age of eight. Seeing Star Wars remains the defining moment of my life, one that changed everything; Star Wars led to other sci-fi led to fantasy led to nerdiness led to looking up lightsaber duels on YouTube led to DiF.
