Outstanding write up dude. And its anothe...HAZAA! Outstanding write up dude. And its another great example of how we movie loving fans often follow similar paths of discovery. Regrettably i dont remember what put The Toxic Avenger on my path but it was on of those "nothing will be the same" movie viewing moments. Even more than opening my eyes to Troma n Lloyd, it sort of broke the mold and rules of movies id watched previously and opened the door to find new, weird, original, crazy, batsh@t crazy, fun flicks. <br /><br />On Troma: some time after graduating college and not having a ton of disposable income i read about a troma sale where they were doing a huge box set of movies for $25. There was no way that model was profitable for them so i assumed that it was too good to be true and likely some kind of weird scam but i ordered it. It took a while but one day i got a big box of dvds. I have ALWAYS respected that. Its like they literally just wanted to help fans with little spending cash get access to a bunch of their insane creations. <br /><br />On Lloyd: in a random set of coincidence of circumstance, i thanked him in a tweet a few months ago for suggesting a film book and he wrote a quick note back. that same day we were watching Guardians of the Galaxy with the kid. I paused during the prison scene and pointed to the screen "daddy was just tweeting with that guy". lets just say i got "cool dad" points that day. hahahahahah.<br /><br />Thanks again sir..its awesome to see a fellow F This friend with similar life experience with cinema.<br /><br />Peace .n.
