As I did for our mom figure Newt, I do the same for Andrew, our father figure here.

I hope I don't embarrass you, Andrew but the main point is that we, the members of this site owe you a debt that we cannot repay. The site that you've created is a home for all us bad movie lunatics and speaking for myself as someone who has problems and serious issues, this place is a haven of peace most times. In fact, every time.  Smile

A haven of peace and tranquility like Shangri La that is, until I whip my undies out and everyone faints.  Buggedout Buggedout Wink

I have had my work published thanks to you and I have also gained a family from all over the world. I have a place where I can calmly sit and let the world rush by, while I chat with all my gas mask wearing friends. NB: Gas masks are essential when communicating with me.  Buggedout Buggedout Wink

Thank you and bless you, sir for creating this wonderful site and for giving me this wonderful family. *HUG*  Smile

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Andrew is a true force for good in this world. Every time I think my schedule is too busy, I look at what Andrew has managed to do so far during his time on Earth. Not only is he an active marine, not only has he managed such programs as "Toys-for-Tots," not only has he started and maintained one of the greatest sites on the internet, but he has managed to do all this while still finding time to raise a family and, on top of all that, remain a level-headed and friendly human being.

Sure he got twisted somewhere along the way and ended up doomed to watch some of the worst movies ever made, but everybody's got their foibles.

If true leadership is by example, Andrew is one of the original molds.

Also, his reviews make me laugh like a motherf**ker. Try as you might, that's something that can't be faked.

I have personal experience of that. He comes across as a genuinely friendly and warm person. Having said that, I wouldn't want to anger or remotely irritate him in any way at all because that would then buy me the whole can of whoop ass.  Buggedout Wink

I'd be very proud to have Newt as my mum. Smile

Anyway...

We all owe Andrew our friendship as this site has brought us all together !  Cheers I've met so many good, kind people thanks to that guy and for that I'm always grateful.
He's also a pretty good writer too (he should get the reviews on this site published) !

I made a thread concerning that about a year or so ago: I called it "The Badmovies.org Book: "We See Weird Sh*t"  Buggedout and suggested that in addition to Andrew's reviews, we each submit a review or two.  Smile

My sincerest thanks to Andrew  Thumbup  Great site, great reviews, and your forum is full of the nicest and most mature people on the net  TeddyR  I have tremendous respect for you personally.  Anyone who would go to Iraq - where people might shoot at you - all I can say is wow.  I get stressed out when the Visa card bill arrives each month  BounceGiggle

Many thanks Andrew!

Thank you all.  The forum has always been blessed with people who are friendly and knowledgeable, and who far outnumber those who aren't.  That makes keeping the peace much, much, much easier.  I don't actively post as much because I hate only writing short replies all the time, but I read a lot of the threads - so I get to know everyone.  I am thankful to know such a great group of people.

I wish my schedule wasn't so busy these days, because I end up spending most of the time I have for the site just doing the basics, like maintaining the server, writing, and answering emails (and I'm constantly falling behind on the third).  At least there are only a few more years to hold on until I retire, and by then the children will be older as well.  It will not be the same amount of free time as when I was a young corporal, and it was just Katie and I, but there should be a lot more free time to chat.

It takes a truly exceptional person to make a site as truly exceptional as this one is!  Your reviews are phenomenal and the community you have achieved is outstanding.  Thank you, Andrew.

I agree, Andrew is a man I like and trust.  A fine fellow and excellent guide in the bad film world.  I wouldn't know a 10th as much as I do without his site.

Andrew brought us this web site and that is awesome.

But the miracle that he made happen was creating an internet forum that is not over-run with spammers, a-holes, know-it-alls, flamers, back-biters and whine-bags. Okay, I whine a little, but for this forum, my good people, Andrew should be given a national award!!

 Cheers
