Movies, popcorn, otter...

So, who's the otter? That chocolaty-brown one sitting in the center of the darkened theater watching a badly-dubbed samurai zombie space alien movie and licking popcorn crumbs off of his butter-besmirched fingers? That'd be me, and that's pretty much who I am in a nutshell. No, really, it doesn't get much deeper than that.
No, I can't draw, much to my regret. I can write, though thus far nothing's been published outside of a few fanzines and one small-press poetry rag. My online stuff has pretty much been limited to a single (count it) cartoon fanfic. It was about Chip 'n' Dale (the mystery-solving Indiana Jones versions from the '80s, not the ones who used to mutilate Donald Duck), and it was quite well received by those few people who actually care about such things.
(For those of you who are old enough to know what 'Rescue Rangers' is; no, my fic wasn't a porno, and no, it wasn't about Gadget. Sorry.)
So, what to expect from me? What shall I babble about? I had to stop and scratch at my chin while puzzling over that one. Write what you know, they say, but what do I really know about?
Answer: movies. And food. Movies and food (but not, strangely, movies about food, because those tend to be unbelievably dull). After several years of film school, I may not know much, but one thing I can tell you with absolute certainty is that the French New Wave was very important, and also that Orson Welles was a cinematic genius of some kind. I still have no idea how to actually make a movie of my own, but by crikey I can sure appreciate somebody else's, and isn't that what higher education is all about?
Anyhow, like I said I guess I'm a bit of a film buff, so that's probably what I'll be rambling on about most of the time. Either that or cooking.
Eventually I plan to put some of my furry fiction up here for all to applaud and admire, or at least to skim through while you scan for the important bits like 'otter' and 'cock' and 'buggered in the shower by ten inches of throbbing kangaroo'. You know, the artistic parts. In cinema we call it 'frisson'.

I immediately thought of your review of Rattatooie. ;)
