Curious Questions for you guys

I'm 45.(Tough age, great Caliber) In my home town Columbus,Ohio. Just down 3c highway from Cleveland,home of Drew Carey, and up from Cincinnati, home of the Reds....please pity Ohio Baseball fans...they try so hard!

Alisa - you're doomed. If you immerse yourself in B-world, there's no escape. You will never be able to watch a "Mainstream" movie ever again! I blame my grandparents - they used to let me stay up late to watch ye olde Hammer movies. As you've probably guessed I'm from England (Yorkshire) and (thanx to gee whizz) I can reveal that I'm 41. I've had happy viewing since the age of 8.

I'm 28 for two more weeks. I'm not happy about it, as I've offered at the Bad Movie Planet message board (what's up with BMP's CGI?).

I'm 17, from Michigan, and honestly can't say how or when I got started, it just sort of. . . happened.  The first true b-movie I clearly remember seeing was an old Voltron cartoon (on LASER DISC!) at a friend's house, but there must have been some before taht.  Perhaps it's from growing up on Disney, My LIttle Ponies, Thundercats, Power Rangers (the original, none of this Time Force crap), and Monty Python, who knows?

At 49, I was going to say that I was the oldest, but, as I see that there is someone older then me, let me say: "2nd on this board, but 1st in love." And as to where I am from, I am from Fort Worth, Texas, or as we like to say here in Fort Worth: "Where the west begins, and the east peters out." Enjoy

Nice to know I'm not the oldest one here!  ;)

I'm 46, and you can see where I live by looking at my IP.

Kevin (was never a Boy Scout, but met Criswell once...does that count?)

16, I'm from Templeton, MA. I first got hooked on b-movies when I was 8 and my mom got me a cheapo video of old horror clips hosted by Vincent Price, but I wasn't really addicted until after I became a MSTie, when I was 12.

I am starting to get paranoid about being the oldest one who has posted in this thread.  Although it does show that I have always been an early adopter.

Of course, it does sort of play into my messiah complex, too.

The structure of Cosmicman's sentence might confuse some people, so let me try to clear some things up. I was a boy scout. For a year, before my parents moved from Rhode Island to California. I have never met Criswell, but I did read a book of his predictions, but, as that was back in the 1960's, I do not remember any of them. Though, it would be interesting to re-read the book, just to see if any them came true. I have my doubts, as his ability as a predictor of future events is somewhat mitigated by his arrest for receiving stolen typewriters. If anyone wants to see what he looks like, he is in Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space." And if anyone wants to know more about him, a good place to start is Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" w/ Johnny Depp in the title role and Jeffrey Jones as Criswell. As far as I know, a fairly faithful film to the time and the people, though I doubt Ed Wood ever met Orson Welles outside of the movie. Another reason to see
"Ed Wood" is this is the film that earned Martin Landau a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for playing Bela Lugosi. Enjoy

I was just funnin' with you, re: your nickname "BoyScoutKevin" and the fact that my real name happens to be Kevin.  I wasn't a scout because I never was any good at tying those fancy knots, and the only way I knew how to start a fire was with Ohio Blue Tip matches.  But yeah, I met Criswell in the, er, flesh, back in 1970.  I've never been the same since.  Just ask anyone. ;)

I still have 3 of my old Criswell books, including the one he autographed for me.  My dad and I used to listen to him do a weekly radio program of predictions back then, and it was pretty fun.  Dad and I would look at one another and roll our eyes with great regularity.  And the fellow who opened each show would say, in hushed tones, that Criswell's predictions were "87% correct, 13% of the time."  :)

The Onion published a list of his predictions (with their comments) the week he predicted the world would end. Check it out here:

Hey, thanks! :)  I'll have to see if I can scan the photo I took when I met him.

Hello, i'm 20 and I'm from lame-ass Kansas City. I love all kinds of films, not just b-movies. But my favorite genres would have to be Horror, Drama, Crime-film noir to cop dramas, Thrillers and Cult films.

Hey. Am I the youngest one here? Jesus.
