About Me

I write for a movie news website called Ain't It Cool News under the pseudonym "Quint." I'm an unabashed movie geek that lives in Austin, Texas, an oasis of cool.

My Interests

Movies of all kinds, but I have a particular love for horror films. Reading, surfing eBay, Texas Hold 'Em, playing video games, some TV, lots of movies, movies, movies.

I'd like to meet:

I'm a movie nerd, so this one is obvious. Also like to meet readers of AICN and people passionate about movies.

Music:

The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Tenacious D, Wings, ELO, CCR, John Williams, Queen, Otis Redding and tons more that I'm forgetting.

Movies:

This is going to be a long one... Jaws, Monster Squad, Night of the Creeps, The Taking of Pelham 1... 2... 3..., The ORIGINAL Star Wars Trilogy, Aliens, Casablanca, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, King Kong (I love both the '33 film and Peter Jackson's remake), An American Werewolf In London, Gremlins, Critters, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Phantasms 1-3, Black Christmas, most of the Friday the 13ths and Nightmare On Elm Streets, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade, Magnificent Seven, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Sleepaway Camp, To Kill A Mockingbird, Maximum Overdrive (seriously), The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Murder By Death, Braindead... tons more, but the list is already ridiculous...

Television:

Lost, South Park, Family Guy, The Daily Show, Celebrity Poker Showdown, WSOP, Entourage, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales from the Crypt, Curb Your Enthusiasm...

Books:

Lots of Stephen King. The Shining, IT, The Stand, Salem's Lot, Everything's Eventual, Desperation, Four Past Midnight and, of course, The Dark Tower Series. Love everything in Roland's world. As for other books, I really got into Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series, loved Michael Crichton's Sphere and Congo, but hated the movie versions, Blatty's The Exorcist... and more!

My Blog

That’s why I love David Lynch

What a character: I love how his violent anger just kind of explodes out of him at the end. He starts so quiet and grandfatherly and then unleashes one of the most venomous f-bombs I've ever ...

Hungary is a scary country, I have proof

So I was just in Budapest Hungary and had a whirlwind 3 days there. It's not the demons or Angels of Death I saw on this visit (more on that later) that creeped me the fuck out, but rather stuff I saw...

Mr. President

So, last month I spent 3 hours waiting out in the Texas sun, lined up around Book People in downtown Austin. I miss Bill Clinton so much. He gets so much shit, but I can't tell you how much I miss hav...

This is the most amazing email ever&

My email is ridiculous. On an average day I get around 500 emails, of which between 400 and 450 are junk and about a dozen are press releases of some sort, most of which I don't want. Why the hell wou...

Im now "That Half-Remembered Guy!"

This is so funny... a reader sent this in, in response to my review of Dr. Uwe Boll's latest work of torture, SEED. Behold!I'd give Uwe $20 if he used that quote on the real DVD, provided there ever i...
