As for me, well, it all began when a pal of mine from childhood came to visit and brought movies to watch. "You've got to see this thing called SPACESHIP," he said. And it was just one of those movies that just hit me in all the right spots. At that time, I happened to be reading Danny Peary's CULT MOVIES book, which discussed TFNM. Suddenly, there was an auteur to be researched.
I contacted BK at a now-defunct site, and he emailed me back, which was cool. And I was surprised to find he had such a major involvement in showtunes. A couple years later, I researched again and found this site, but I was a little confused. Was it sponsored by Hanes Underwear? Who was this Guy Haines?
Then in February, of this year, I was passing the joys of SPACESHIP on to TPunk, and I found this site again and have been blown away ever since by the sheer breadth of knowledge of movies, music, stage by all the folks on here. There just aren't that many places for a true eclecticist to go to blab with people about everything under the sun. That's why this has been my internet home.
