So, why?

I was thinking it might help a little to give some background as to why I do this. See when I was younger I was obsessed with The Creature From The Black Lagoon. I had a couple of books that had a bunch information about the films and still photos from the films. To say the least, I was constantly mesmerized by these movies. They always seemed to be set in some far off never never land. They had a timeless appeal to me. It didn't matter when I was a child that these movies were easily four or five times as old as me, they captured my imagination and still hold on to it to this day.

I thought that this would be a cool idea. I've seen far too many of these movies to be considered sane and I'm able to look at them with a sense of humor. Some are great, some are ok and some are, well, terrible. 

Some years ago I discovered Mystery Science Theater 3000. Being that it was a local show that had some how gone global was amazing to me. I soon found, like with most things in my life, very few shared my enthusiasm. Oh well. It still makes me laugh too hard. 

When I first started to come up with this idea, I was going to go with a full blown website and all. But, alas, I'm broke. Paying to get a website up and going just isn't going to happen at this time. So I decided to go with the blog idea. And besides, I can finally say I have a blog! I felt it was a way for me to share with all of you my knowledge of these films, both good and bad.

Why do I use my trans status? Easy, it gets attention. It's a low blow, I know. But that's not the point. If nothing else, I can bring a different point of view to this subject. It might not be one that many are going to enjoy or wanna be a part of, but so what. I'm not who I am to offend or hurt anyone. I'm just me. I'm trans. I love old horror films. My friends seem to enjoy my sense f humor. Why not do this? I've got nothing else going on right now.
