The Mission?

Get to know your Amateur Movie Buff (AMB)

I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t get enough of talking about movies and TV shows. I truly can’t. I’m pretty introverted, generally speaking. Until someone asks “Who was the guy in that movie?” or “Have you seen the one where…” At that point, the wheels are off. I could talk for hours and hours about what I’m watching, what you’re watching, the movie that reminds me of, and oh yeah she was also in….

You get the idea.

The goal of this site is just that: provide a place for me to talk to you - my friends - about what we are watching.

I need an outlet for all of my thoughts because, if I’m being truly honest, I know that socially, I need to mix up the topics of conversations. I’m hoping if we all go into this knowing we are only talking about movies, there won’t be any awkward social exchanges.

This is intended to be a place for fun communication. While I could not be more passionate about shows / movies / etc., I also acknowledge that I don’t know everything. Aside from a few film studies classes in university, I know that what I don’t know probably exceeds what I do.

I’m not a critic by trade, and I’m not here to be the gatekeeper for high art or “capital “C” Cinema. We all know that there are plenty of movies out there that mean something (everything) to us, regardless of the critical acclaim. And that’s what I’m here to talk about.

So, I know that means that I may love something you roll your eyes at. And I may hate something you love. That’s real life! And it doesn’t mean anything other than a cool opportunity to discuss.

I truly can’t wait to share my thoughts with you all and get to talking from here. Cheers and Salut!
