Quick introduction

I've just gotten around to joining Netflix, and so I hope to catch up on several decades of delinquent film viewing. This will include films I never quite got around to going to see in the theater, older and classic films I've been meaning to see "someday," films I haven't seen in some years (and perhaps only in heavily-edited-for-television form), and occasionally favorites that I want to watch again.

Curiously, my very favorite films may make only rare appearances, since I often already own them in some form and have watched them many times -- films like Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Apollo 13, or most of the films of the Marx Brothers. But if I get them out and watch them, I might stick a note in here for those, too. And when I see stuff in the theatres, I'll probably record that too.

I don't claim any particular qualifications for being a film critic, nor do I necessarily think my taste will be a good guide for most other people. Reading this may tell you more about me than it does about the films involved. But what the heck...writing it might be good for me in itself. Hope someone enjoys reading it.
