Congrats, Andrew.

Interesting to read some of your first reviews and your later reviews and see how you've branched out.

Thanks to everyone.  Hearing that other fans of these kinds of films enjoyed the site has kept me going at it.  When I would lose the motivation, something would happen to perk me up and I'd return to the fray.

I look back, and still cannot believe I have been doing this for 10 years.  It has been very fun, and hopefully I will be able to do this for another 10, 20, or 30 years.  If I can just get Jenna, Andy, or Garrett interested in writing, it could go on quite a bit longer than that.

I did try to write a short "10 year anniversary" article, but the result came out very melancholy, which was not my intent.  Shelved it for now, but if time permits in the near future, I will take another hack at it.  The main reason it seemed sad was reflecting back on all the people and websites who have come and gone over the years.  Many of those people I came to consider as friends and associates, and the online b-movie community is less active and fractured now.

We had an problem at the unit yesterday that kept me overnight, but once a Marine arrived to relieve me of my duties (at 0700 today) I zipped home, showered, and then Katie and I loaded the children into the minivan.  We spent the day at the new house celebrating Garrett's first birthday with friends and family.  My youngest son and the website share birthdays: 22 June.

I'd forgotten that about Little Menard.


I was wondering what was taking you so long; thought maybe that you had to take the walker out for a lube job.

Any day you would like to go for a run or hit the obstacle course, my friend.  We ran a practice physical fitness test this month.  Once I finished, I turned around and waited for the rest of the Marines to arrive.  There are a pair of young sergeants who are gunning for me, and I do think they will be able to catch me after some more road time, but for now I'm it.  The other gunny who was keeping up with me sprained his ankle badly about a month ago.

Keep up the good work!  "Gunning.."  hmm.  I don't think they're old enough to understand determination.  :thumbup:


Menard!  Get yer fat ass up and get outta my way...  :wink:

10 YEARS?! Holy jeez!! I was only 9 years old when this thing started up! 1998.....man! Do I feel old and decrepit!


But enought feeling sorry for myself. Congrats to Andrew for keeping this heap well oiled and running for the past decade! I forget how or why I originaly got into b-movies, but when I found this site a little over a year ago, my b-movie fandom only grew and grew and branched out into several sub-genres of b-movies. So thanks Andrew! Happy birthday, website!

"I'm a man too, you know! I go pee-pee standing up!"
