elvisdo vs. millinocket
The Great Movie Derby III

The first two rounds solved nothing as they both ended up in a tie. This year, we are determined that one of us will walk away as the winner.

After a quick summer start, I've taken the lead by one.

elvisdo vs. millinocket
The Great Movie Derby II

We're doing it all over again because we resolved nothing. 2007 proved to be a great challenge between millinocket and I. In the end, it came down to the wire and we settled on a draw. 2008 is a whole new animal and there is a determined effort by both to see who will reign supreme in this movie race. I'll be surprised if we manage to even hit the double-digit mark.

Once again, at the very last minute, it's another tie. Let's see if 2009 is the year somebody takes the lead.

elvisdo vs. millinocket
The Great Movie Derby

Isn't it strange that the Category Lead for Movies (millinocket) and one of her Movie Advisors (elvisdo) rarely venture out to an actual movie theatre? It's been a running gag between the two of us that we find quite amusing. But 2007 is different. We are determined to see who will actually see more new releases in the given year. It was a close race that came down to wire, but in the end we both tied with 8 movies each. Let's see how the 2008 derby fares.

I'm making it a mission to reacquaint myself with the many members here on Epinions. And that means I'll be doing it the Visdo way. Every once in a while I'll click on a random Epinions member and read all reviews written by that member. Yes, I said ALL reviews. It's amazing at the things I'll discover about a person. Is it a daunting task? Of course it is especially if you have over 200 reviews to your name (there will be a day when I will visit Freak369... Lord, give me strength). But it's well worth the exercise. Unfortunately for me, I started this endeavour a long time ago and have forgotten which members I've visited. I guess that means it's back to square one for me. I'm a glutton for punishment. So if one day you receive a gazillion ratings, don't worry about it. It's just me learning all your dirty secrets.

I have a problem. I have an obsession with comic books and comic book characters ever since I was a wee lad. This has evolved into a manifestation that cannot be contained without the deep recesses of my mind anymore. The scary thing is how this is only a mere snippet of what I have to offer. I hope you can bear with me and try not to kill me in the process. Lord knows my wife is already first in line.

A lot of people have been asking me where I have been lately.
The answer is quite simple: I got married to The Dark Mistress herself—the lovely Bijou!

Long time Epinions members know that we met on this very site itself.
Wait, you didn't know? You better catch up. Here's how we met and where we went on our honeymoon.

In my spare time I try and moonlight as an artist.
