Hi there everyone, my name is Grant but I go by the name Invisible Crane on the net and I'm here because...well because I like The Cinema Snob.

I've been watching him for I'd say close to 2 years now back when he was doing his videos on YouTube and way before becoming part of TGWTG (I will confess I myself would like to be part of that site one day, I mean come on look at all the cool things they get to do...but I'd better stop rambling on) and even before Spoony One promoted him.

I like his work because I myself do have a bit of an interest in obscure cinema and it was his videos that introduced me to a lot of them.

I hope I enjoy it here

So I have a lot of time in those dull eight and a half hours to watch internet critic reviews. I usually check TGWTG for new stuff, then retreat to either the Snob or Spoony's vids directly after. Used to be LordKat too, but when he changed his livestream, my work computer's abilities failed to keep up... so it crashes the system each time I go to LK's site. Blip TV is a handy site, btw.

Sounds like good work.

Eh. It's awesome to get paid for effectively sitting around doing nearly nothing all night. And we get alot of nutter calls, which always brighten up a night. It's perfect for studying. But on the other side of the coin, the pay isn't much. It's a lot of nothing. And since we're limited on our PCs, some nights can only be described as absolute Purgatory. =P It's good for now, but it'll be great to move on to something a little more active on down the line.

Well, as one who is unemployed, any money is good money. And a job where I have the down time to do almost anything I want sounds like work I could handle.

I'm a juniot year high school student in Connecticut. I love to make movies, even if they do end up sucking. I've been watching snob since he was in the early stages. I think summer of '07 was when I discovered one of his reviews, Burial Ground, then I watched Sadomania and Porno Holocaust. I've been going to conventions since 6th grade, always been the weird kid in my school. People I've never talked to are terrified or disgusted of/by me. I don't get along with most people mainly because the stuff I have on my mind is never relevant to what everyone else is interested in.

Hi, I am David. I am a 21 soon to be College Graduate in Web Design.

Last I took an intro to Video Production course and for the final we made a film, and I made in this film a reference to a Cinema Snob video (ET The Prono review)

Hey guys/gals,

I (or should I say WE) am (are) Ermac.

I am a second year Comp Sci student at the university of Aberystwyth(its ok if you can't pronounce it, few can) in Wales, UK.

I love watching all kinds of movies be they bad or good.
I am easily entertained(Spoony frowns at me) so most of the movies I watch I tend to really like. I love playing video games, mainly RPGs and its my aspiration to some day make one or two, possibly more. While I am not studying for my upcoming exams I like to write in forums.

Some may know me already, sort off.

I am Shaun and I actually can't believe I didn't notice this forum sooner Surprised

As well as doing the title cards and other art things, I have a crappy job in a mega store stacking shelves, which took years of college and university to achieve, that's the UK for you. Razz

Yup, but they are over the tuition fee going up, even though there was petitions, that I also signed to stop it, but with the new and evil government we have, they put the price up anyway, also the chances of landing a good job from university in the UK is very rare, unless you are already rich and so on.

Hmm...you know how they say there's a 20 year pop-culture hiccup, where what once drifted out of style becomes fashionable again? I'm starting to think that maybe the same rule applies with politics, which would explain the U.K.'s U.S.'s, drift farther and farther to the right.

This could all be stopped if you didn[t give any money to those damn Chav's and made them work for their money.

I agree, I guess this just happens every 20 years or so on, I even tell people this, but they act like its all new, its not really.

Now chavs is a word I would never thought would crop up on a Cinema Snob related website, but I do agree, its does get annoying when you work hard to just get by, but then you see chavs with expensive cars and more money than you for having no skills or jobs.

Anyway, I think this is getting of topic. lets get back to the fellow Snobs.

Yep. Back in the 80's you had Margaret Thatcher, and we had Reagan. And terrible times were had by all.

I thought i would share this with you all...

the other night i was surfing youtube and came across an ex-friend's page with a god-awful low budget horror spoof that i was a co-star in..

it's called "The Legend of Bloody lee"

So, I get the impression I wasn't late to this forum so much as it didn't exist before.

That's awesome. Not that it didn't exist, but that I'm not 3 years down the line.

Anyway.

I'm Bill, The Man in Black, and many other names. JasonzSon would be the one most relevant to the Snob, though. We shared a joke one time. It tasted like chocolate. Then spammers responded under me on the post. That tasted like shit.

If you want to know more about me, check out my site in my signature. I've just picked up a shit-load of new contributors and I'm looking forward to the coming months. Also, my 100-something Review (you'd have to watch it to understand that part)/4th Anniversary Special video is coming up soon.

As for my being here- I'm a fan of Cinema Snob, bad horror movies, exploitation, and the occasional Kung Tai Ted. I haven't managed to bring myself to watch a Brad Tries (by him or anybody else) yet, though I've done a text ~~review~~ Rant on Hennessey Black that may be similar. I've watched one Big Box, and was unsure as to what was satire and what was honest and wasn't particularly drawn to watch more.

I've been a fan of The Cinema Snob since his early days, not exactly sure when I started watching his videos, but I know it was before the "Pierre Kirby Week". My tastes in movies are pretty different from Brad's, but I love his sense of humor, comedic timing (and delivery) voice and acting. I also think that Kung Tai Ted, Brad and Jerrid, The Bruno Mattei Show, The Big Box and his other productions like The Hooker with a Heart of Gold are all excellent.

As for me, myself, I think I can be considered a cinephile, I like every genre (not equally) and I believe in enjoying both high-brow and low-brow movies wherever they're from, as long as they are good. More importantly, I love cinema! But that doesn't mean I don't dig literature, TV, video games and music. I think I have pretty varied tastes in these too, except for music genres that ends with "core", I usually don't like these. John Carpenter, Sergio Leone and Tsui Hark are my cinematic Gods, I listen to a lot of The Clash, M.I.A. and Frank Zappa and I don't have any particular favorite authors. My favorite actor is Kurt Russell.

Great to be on the forum!

I recently started watching the snob a few weeks ago and I'm hooked, I've been an AVGN and Nostalgic critic fan for a few years now.

I'm 17 and a Junior in High School. Not much really to say, I play Trombone, I love music and I watch a shitload of movies. I'm starting my own youtube channel in a couple weeks where I review both old and modern shitty movies(like Avatar). So yeah, thats pretty much it.
