About Me:

I used to do some theatre and debate, and am presently a political science major at CU Boulder. I'm vehemently liberal and will argue with you. I've vehemently atheist and will argue with you. Do not take it personally, it's not so much I dislike you or even your opinion as much as I love a good debate (arguments are emotionally involved) and appreciate people who can defend what they believe. Also, I'm a nerd. I will freely admit this, and I'm cool with that because every male that I have had any interest in being friends with for the last 15 years has been a nerd, and most of the girls, too.

All Time Worst Movies:

I don't think I need to say the movie Movies, but also 300, Batman and Robin, Dumb and Dumberer, Rob Zombie's shit, probably most horror, action and romantic movies that are released (there are a lot of good ones also!), especially DTV, movies that feel manufactured to win an Oscar (Benjamin Button springs to mind...) aren't on my WORST movie list, but they are some of my biggest pet peeves, as are remakes that don't do anything different or are unneeded (Psycho remake, Quarantine, etc)

Paul Newman, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Audrey Hepburn, Morgan Freeman, Kate Winslet, Christopher Walken, Laura Linney, Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett, Sir Ian McKellan, Natalie Portman, Ricky Gervais, Simon Pegg, the Apatow crew, the cast of the Wire, Kristin Bell
