Testing, Testing...

Hello world (or whatever 2 people are actually reading this), my name is Doug. Yes, just Doug. I'm uncomfortable with the series of tubes that is the internet, so let's leave it at first names. Yours can be Shirley. Yes, that sounds about right. Shirley.

"LIBERTAAAAAAD!"

Anyways, Shirley, this is my first attempt at a blog so who knows what kind of shenanigans may end up taking place here. As far as I know, there are no limits. Feel welcome to yell "Freedom!" in your best Scottish accent.

No, that was Irish.

Spanish.

Close enough.

"Together We Stand (Up)", my nearly finished documentary short

Since you seem just a tad verbally challenged, let's talk a little more about me. I am a film student in Chicago, I love dark drama and thrillers, and I enjoy moonlit walks along the beach. I am in post production on a documentary short about two beginner stand-up comedians, production on a short about a repentant thief, and pre-production on two other future projects. Here are some of my current favorite movies, in no particular, but very specific order:

"In Bruges"

"Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade"

"Frankenstein"

"Moon"

"The Dark Knight"

I'm also a gigantic comic book nerd, so if that bleeds into this blog and you have a problem with that then please change your mind. In any case, this is a site I maintain for fun and would like to keep it that way, so keep comments positive or at least in line with my own opinions. I like my followers mindless and obedient, with only the occasional human sacrifice.

Are "Braveheart" references still funny? Mel cop says yes.

So that's about it, Shirley. If you want any more information from me you'll have to try some more impressive interrogation techniques, like good cop/bad cop. Or maybe good cop/sad cop. Or, God forbid, the dreaded good cop/Mel cop. Giving new meaning to "boys in blue".

I know what you're thinking. "Surely, you can't be serious. This blog seems too good to be true." But I am serious, and your name is Shirley, so be sure to check back here every once in a while to hear my latest rants and ramblings about movies. And I will try to avoid any more "Braveheart" jokes... but no guarantees.
