Hey guys, I know a lot of you are probably familiar with James Rolfe, aka The Angry Video Game Nerd.  Just recently he made his 200th movie, which is a look back on the history of his films and how he got started creating movies and other things.  I HIGHLY recommend this movie to anyone who loves indie cinema, bad cinema, or ever dreamed of making their own films.  It's a really neat movie, and I'm sure some of the amateur film makers can relate to some of the pre-digital techniques he had to use in making various films.


I tell ya, in many ways I envy this guy... growing up I wanted to be the Stephens, you know Spielberg and King, write movies, makes movies, books, etc.  My parents new about my desire but they never would buy a camera for me cause they thought I'd break it (and people wonder why my self esteem is so low today). 

I envy the kids of today who're interested in film making, with all the digital cameras and easy to use editing software.

Yeah, Cinemassacre is cool. The guy's clearly fond of his past, too, I've seen a number of documentaries he's made about himself, lol. It's all good, inspiring stuff, though. Mayes you want to make a name for yourself on the net just like he did. I just don't know where to begin with my articles.
