I promise <i>The Perfect Weapon</i> is coming, although there's going to be a lot of pressure to make it a good one now...<br /><br />Thanks again!

Thanks for all the hours of entertainment your podcasts, columns and the DVDs I won have provided over the last couple of years. Although I haven’t had the time to join in on the discussions much lately they are always a great read and it’s brilliant to see somewhere on the internet where we can talk about films so free from cynicism and snarky comments.<br /><br />One other thing, I absolutely adore the Heavy Action columns.

The podcast needs all the listeners it can muster; pre-listen to them so the one that will make her realize how much of a catch you're not is not on rotation, but let her listen to the rest. You want the site/listenership to grow, right? ;-)<br /><br />Cameron's story is as good as Mark Ahn's "Taken" story, especially because the podcast actually did affect someone else's life (Mark Ahn's life didn't change from the "Taken" podcast since the kidnapping had already happened to him). What does it say that it was the "Sleepaway Camp" commentary track is the one that touched me (ahem!) deeply and turned me into an 'F' head?J.M.

There's a timeliness and unique bond between us, diehard "BB" fans, and the experience of watching the non-CBS "BB" live feeds from the "BB" house and talking about the HG's as it's happening. Last Saturday's live show was excellent, more drama per second than an episode of "Mad Men" (get it? :D) and I was online to talk about it; beats a De Palma 70's movie harder than a splash of Brute cologne on Daredevil's smelling senses.

I mean, on the one hand, it's really great that people had a reaction to our show and that the way I've always seen my relationship with E comes across. On the other hand, she's a total homewrecker. AWKWARD. Glad to hear everyone feels better off today. If nothing else, it gives us a new tagline: "F THIS MOVIE! -- Responsible for more breakups than any other podcast."<br /><br />Thanks for always being a big part of our community here, and for passing along cool stuff when you find it.

The first podcast I listened to was "The Wolfman" followed by "Ghostbusters." The way JB and you talked about film, with off side references, humor and honest feelings was absolutely wonderful to stumble onto. I became an instant fan and have since listened to all your audio files.<br /><br />Like a few others, I have an extremely long commute to work so they come in handy--especially the ones that run over an hour. :)<br /><br />There is one story though I would like to share with you in regards to your podcasts.<br /><br />About a year ago, I burned a number of them onto a thumb drive to take on a road trip to LA. A few friends came with me, two of which were dating. One of the audio files we listened to was your talk with Erika about "Bridesmaids."<br /><br />From that conversation alone, it is abundently clear that you two are not only in love, but the best of friends. It's a little overwheming to some at first, because (sad to say) most relationships are not that.<br /><br />However, that night in L.A., one of my friends (a girl) started crying out of nowhere as we talked about day to day things. I asked her what was wrong and she explained that she and her boyfriend (who had also come along on the trip, but was out with others) were growing apart--or rather should never gone out at all.<br /><br />One of the reasons she cited was the "Bridesmaids" podcast, saying "You can hear plain as day how much those two love and care for each other and he and I just don't have that." Later that night, she broke up with him.<br /><br />That drive home (6 hours) may have been LONG and intense, but at least I had the infamous "Taken" podcast to listen to. :)<br /><br />And to this day, whenever my other friend, her ex-boyfriend, hears the name of Jon Hamm, he can't help but think back of the podcast that changed his life--he says (now)for the better. LOL.<br /><br />Thank you Patrick and everyone at F! This Movie for being one of the nicest and sanest places on the net to talk about film. Keep up the great work!Cameron Cloutierhttp://www.obnoxiousandanonymous.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-902191526155435132012-09-16T14:55:36.703-05:002012-09-16T14:55:36.703-05:00I saw The Black Dahlia once.
