Movie-quoting film snob since 1996. I’m a US-based entertainment writer and a voracious consumer of film, streaming, and television content. I’ve been called obsessive about my viewing experience because I once snatched a box of Milk Duds out of my date’s hand at the theater for repeatedly thumping on it during LOTR: ROTK to "get the ones at the bottom." I also once forced a college mass comm. dept. to acknowledge film studies in their curriculum so I could study and write about cinema without having to jump ship. And they did. True story.
