Hey everybody!

I know that no one is reading, but let me introduce myself. My name is Parker, and I am on the cusp (sp?) of my life. I'm not especially witty, but I hope that I come across as an interesting if relatively boring person (I know that is somewhat oxymoronic but work with me here...).

My passion in life, as of right now, is movies. That is the main reason I created this blog to share my preferences and discuss the great pastime of filmmaking. Please give as many comments as possible; I love the feedback.

Hopefully, I can get a few followers as I continue this blog (for God knows how long) and thanks for paying attention!
