Glad you stopped lurking! :) I like your movie choices of "Event Horizon" and "Brother From Another Planet". Those are two of my fav movies as well. I'm also a big fan of writer/director John Sayles, who did "Brother from Another Planet". Have you seen many of his other films, such as "Lone Star", "Passion Fish", "Men with Guns"? Great talent. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Curtis" <tlcurti...@gmail. com> To: scifino...@yahoogro ups.com Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 8:58:39 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [scifinoir2] Intro Tracy, Madison, WI Hello Everyone, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself before.
