About YeOldeJacob

Hello and welcome to my userpage.

I suppose the simplest way to describe myself would be as a cynical, misanthropic narcissist.

I would like pursue a career in the film industry, and I would also like to venture into voice-over work, the idea of an inanimate character being brought to life because of one's voice is something I'd love to experience. . . but alas, those are simple dreams that shan't be realized.

I enjoy embodying personae of which I'm not similar to, if only to play devil's advocate. Due to this, there aren't too many people who know my actual viewpoints on things, and I find that rather amusing. . . although I suppose once one reads this page that is all for not.

I love to debate. Anything from politics, to religion, to social matters, to film. You name it, I'll argue about it. If you share my opinion, I'll play devil's advocate.

I could never list all of my favorite movies. . . that is one expansive list. You can find a short list in my Movies section below. That list should give you a general idea of my taste in movies.

I'm agnostic, borderline atheist. If there is anything I absolutely loathe in this world it is religion. It creates closed-mindedness, hatred, and absolute certainty; something that is never a good thing when you are talking about the supernatural.

I like using ellipses. . . you should probably get used to that. . .

As alluded to before, I am typically referred to as a 'cynic.' That is a correct description, but you must remember 'cynic' and 'right' are usually synonyms.

I wish I was in the 90s right. . . about. . . now.

Movies

I am a film buff. Period. It is my passion, and hopefully my future profession. I love all genres of film, and have a somewhat-expansive knowledge of the medium.
