Hi Folks, My name's Pooch, and I have joined HTF having decided to leave another well-known home theatre forum behind, after 12 long years. The atmosphere there, was no longer one I wished to be a part of, due to its extremely clique-like nature. 
As such, here I am: a new year, and a new member on a new site. I'm 35 years old, and like in the UK. I also run a blog, on extreme cinema, though I won't mention anything more about that, just yet, as I don't want to breach any of the HTF regulations in my first post. My interests and specialties are in horror and extreme cinema, anime and world cinema, and I own an extensive collection of DVD's and Blu-Ray's, which I am immensely proud of. I have a long-standing interest in all aspects of film and TV censorship, so if anyone has any questions on those subjects, I hope I'd be able to proffer an answer. I've also done review work for the website "Sex, Gore, Mutants" as well. I only have a fairly basic Home Theatre set-up: a 37-inch Panasonic 16:9 TV, a Panasonic DVD Recorder, and a Multi-Region Blu-Ray and Multi-Region DVD player, plus Sky Digital, as that is all my modest lifestyle can afford me. One thing I don't do, is Social Media. If you're into Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, FourSquare and its ilk, then I'm not the guy for you. Apologies, but I abhor them, and everything they stand for. Vacuous wastes of time, for people who should know better! Oh, and I also detest Reality TV and the whole culture of "Celebrity-ness"! If I want reality, I simply look out of my window, and there's a whole world of real people to care for, insteads of the non-entity Celebs that take-up space on our TV screens these days. For now, though, I simply look forward to getting to know more of you very soon. :tu: Pooch P.S. I do tend to use smilies quite a lot. I hope that's ok. I'll try not to overuse them.
