Where AFI is the American Film Institute (not an emo band)

This was Adam’s idea really.

When I choose a movie, I have two conflicting guys inside me…one is Fanboy; he likes loud geeky movies about things like superheroes and monsters and wizards. They are usually creating a lot of internet buzz after ComiCon and although the movies he chooses are sometimes amazing (Yay 300!), for the most part they are underwhelming.
Then there is Cinesnob; he likes arty, important movies that are not, by definition, entertaining. He likes his flicks thought provoking, symbolic…and always having something to say. His choices are usually in line with snobby Oscar critics and he can bore your for an hour on the merits of the focus technique of Citizen Kane.

Fanboy is more fun at parties.

And if you read his post on TEB last night, you would see that we both satisfied our snobs last night with some Daniel Day-Lewis action and then followed that by the decision to make this blog.

So there’s the story, who knows if anyone will be able to read through our movie-nerdiness but at least we’ll get to talk to each other and anyone else who cares through this place.
