The Little Boy Who Loved A Film
By: Glemaud
On a cool summer day in the wonderful city of New York City, a mother took her son to a fine film that would change his life forever.
That is what I’d like you to believe, but these are falsities that I’m spewing at you. I am somewhat new to the film art, though I spent many of my young days watching filth such as the ever graceful HOME ALONE 3 (what can I say, I was young and stupid).
In the fall of 2008, due to a scheduling mishap I took a film course, and it’s there I knew where my future was to head. I liked movies, they were great time wasters when I was cutting class or hanging out with the fellas and gals. I loved film after this course, due to the genius that is Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. I lusted for film when I came here. I had my cinematic cherry popped circa a year ago; It’s here I discovered my lust for abstract and experimental film. I’m always learning, always bettering my cinematic taste, so when I’m in a bar talking jive to a lady friend, I can impress her with my vast film knowledge — that’s right, I do all this to “score.”
These are the films that shape who I am. I will defend them to the grave, to Burger King, and even in the shower. Mess not with me, for I am a boy with a fiery passion for arguing and will drunk text you slanderous insults till you scream Uncle.
