I thing Burgomaster & Flangepart are the oldest here.
I forget their ages.

Most of us are in our 20's or early 30's.
I turn 30 this coming April.

There are a few yungin's though below age 18.

I am a whopping 30 years of age (just turned it in August).

Flange, he is an older fellow.  However, if you want to see really old, you need to catch Dr. Freex one of the rare times that he drops by.

I'm 48 , the  scrreen name comes fro the fact that I  started watching Star Trek  when  it was on NBC from  1966-69. I grew up watching quite a few of the old movies you review here on  Thriller  every Saturday afternoon. It may seem silly now  but  back then a guy coming out of the grave looking like a tree trunk or some giant p**s-ants (what my aunt called  Them) would scare the bejeezus out of a 7 or 8 year old. I know, I spent a little time hiding behind the couch myself.

Andrew does a great job with this site and I laugh my ass off at some of the reviews.

I'm 39 years old. My Sci-Fi/Horror interest started during the 70's with Chiller Theater and Monster Movie Matinee. In the 80's I thought all those films were silly and not very scary, but now I see them from a different vantage point. My interest was rekindled with the viewing of the film ED WOOD and having taking a video production class  a couple years before that helped changed the way I looked at film. From then on Ed Wood and others like Roger Corman became my idols of sorts. If they could do it, well ........maybe I to could do it. The films are more of a study for me or a good laugh. Either way it's sort of a hobby.

Hey Roger Corman deserves a little hero worship.  He is the only producer in Hollywood that can make the claim that he never made a movie that didn't make money.  Schlock or not , a lot of people got their start with him.

I just figured out  the other day why  I enjoy movie trivia  so much. I've been in the computer service business for  almost 25 years and I have always been one of those
"How does that work?" guys.  Disassembled quite a few things that didn't get reassembled when I was a kid.  When I see a good special effect,  first I say wow and then ask "How 'd they do that?".  Anyway,  I decided I like movie stuff for the same reason. Whether it's  a bad one or a good one, I like to know  why  it turned out the way it did plus the mechanics and politics of how it got  made.

After some of the stuff I've read it's really a wonder any good movies ever get made.

Yea, I read Cormans auto-biography about filmmaking after watching ED WOOD and how he made films with very little money (still he had more than or at least access to more than I do now). I can't remember the name of the book now. By the way geezer TCM is showing some silent Lon Chaney films tonight.

Yea, I noticed that  The Unknown was on.  He's one guy who totured himself  for his art.

I'm the young'un here. I've only been here a few months, but at least no one's breaking down my door with a fire axe. Give me your adress and I'll write you a cheque.

Well, I muster 42 orbits around the sun.  

Older and (perhaps!) wiser than the Young Whippersnappers hereabouts.  

Pip pip!

Hey, t.g., I am of your generation -  giant ants disturbed my sleep for months, and I also watched the Original Trek in its first go-round.    Those were the days.

Sometimes the younger bunch can be unintentionally funny - as when they 'discover' anything which pre-dates the 90's....

I am 45 and female - which makes me a double rarity on here.

I'm younger than fourty but older than twenty.  More than that I'm not saying.

However, for whatever reason, I keep thinking I'm 15.

28 years old.  By the way, besides those two years between 1975-77, I have been a Star Wars fan all of my life.
