... this thing was set up IMO to provide a sort of "commentary competition area" for a few individuals who already had their own blogs for politics, SETI readouts and cooking recipies. Some introductions may be in order:

THRILLHOUSE: A furniture salesman and part-time statistician for a Nielsen Ratings subcontractor, he is a main instigator in ritual Bad Movie Nights either at for-profit theaters or private residences (sometimes without the knowledge of the owner or leaseholder).

UBER: An electrical engineer for a large toy manufacturer, he is the only member of the cast in question to be known to own real estate. Also the owner of a cool car, he appears to have his life generally together. The other three are plotting various surprises regarding this last.

ULYSSES ZWIEBEL: A multitalented individual with three jobs, he publishes industrial safety phamplets, repairs jammed VHS cartridges and manages an exotic dance club.

RALPHIEBOY: A courtmartialed Navy motor pool bookkeeper, he bounced back decades ago by leaving Fort Mead, Maryland for a Seattle job offer with a startup company named "Starbuck's". A few fortunate investments later, he made enough seed capital to generate rent, food money and traveling cash to allow him and his cat to shuttle between Tempe, Arizona and Fred, Texas periodically for unspecified reasons.

So these are the people I know anything about; the Joe Vitus writeup I leave to others. These are the people who will bring you film reviews, TV reviews, eating joint reviews, beer joint reviews, perhaps laundromat reviews like those zine writers of years ago whose names escape me at the moment, and snippets of life in and around the general environs of coastal Texas, urban, rural and whatever. You might tack on a mention below as to how you found us, and which writer you think will wind up in prison next.
