Haha, Ziggy. This, my 500th post, concerns David Bowie. He would make for a great jedi master in my prequels. What about him captured your attention so completely?

Well, when I was about four (a whole ten years ago!), my mom was playing the album Changesbowie in her room. I asked her about it, and she was all like:

"Wanna have it?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, here."

Since then, I was hooked. I think it's all the changes he goes through that made him so interesting to me then, even though I had no notion of what he was singing yet. When I was seven I asked for "Low" and "Heroes" for Christmas.

I dunno man, there's just something about the guy. I have a drawing I did of him in the second grade, I might upload that to share with you guys tomorrow. That said, in first grade I made a watercolor painting of Björk, so go figure.

Damn, reminds me of myself as a kid if you replaced Bowie with James Bond and Stanley Kubrick. Not that my parents really had film interests...

Hi Mrebo, thanks for saying hello. I got drawn into the great madness when searching online for a better version of the 1997 SE as a college freshman. Slowly but surely ot.com became my one-stop online nook. I typically post in the General discussion section but primarily I'm in the Preservations and Off-topic areas. As a film grad/nut/geek, I salivate over all of the projects going on and wish I had the hardware to compete friendly.

There is no better forum around...we're like an odd bunch of castaways on a strange blue-grey little island.
