Just want to say it was so refreshing to discover other fans who are as passionate about movies as I am. I especially like your nitpicking mini-segments. Nothing is more enjoyable than watching a great (or bad) movie, other than discussing it in detail and analyzing it with friends afterwards (although I don&#39;t have the benefit of watching it with fellow enthusiasts such as Devindra and Adam).<br /><br />When I list to the podcast, I feel the energy and pure joy that you guys have towards movies. More power and keep &#39;em coming, don&#39;t stop reviewing and enjoying the films. Intelligence, passion, humor - all in the span of around three hours every week.<br /><br />Though it&#39;s hard to believe now, the difficult times will make you a better person, and maybe you&#39;ll even look back at it one day with puzzlement (this is from my own experience). It&#39;s just like a movie.robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674802965568433896.post-34648450183545873062009-05-21T00:18:57.325-07:002009-05-21T00:18:57.325-07:00Happy birthday Dave! I am a big fan of the podcast and you personally. There is something about your self deprecating humor, choice of words, and humbleness makes you close to heart of your friends and fans.<br /><br />I can relate to your story, I too had some difficult times on my personal life, things that are beyond my control that make you really sad inside even if you elect to plant a smile in your face and act as if you are on cloud 9. You only have to rely on your faith and inner strength, then you lean on your family and trusted friends. The people who would go the greatest lengths to help you, support you, and love you.<br /><br />May next year be a better year for you, myself, and the entire world, amen.Abdullahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01650585273564884903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674802965568433896.post-4279776287846548932009-05-20T21:05:38.179-07:002009-05-20T21:05:38.179-07:00Have a great birthday and a better 2009-10, Dave. I came late to the podcast but have come to thoroughly enjoy the work and effort you gys put in to the site an podcast each day.<br /><br />I don't know exactly what happened during the last year, but I hopeyou can gather up and move on.

After listening and watching you on /Film, it pains me to hear that you, too, are a victim of regret and redo. Though the past isn't necessarily prologue, I hope for you and for the rest of us a good and hopeful future!

Without going into too much detail, I myself have been going through struggles of loss due to certain foibles undoubtedly my own, as well as the expected separation of friends to whatever part of life or the world takes them. And despite all the pain, be it self-imposed, or not, it is mine to share with others via one safe outlet or another. It is comforting in knowing that there are so many of us out there looking and hoping for the same things, and perhaps this is a catalyst for new beginnings. We are here, Mr. Chen, and we are legion. We are conduits of change. May the best of possibility flow through.wintermutedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15708604643027341876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674802965568433896.post-86112808735405555022009-05-20T07:47:36.258-07:002009-05-20T07:47:36.258-07:00Ever since I started listening to the podcast and following you on Twitter, I have been shocked that a guy who (a) acts so professionally and (b) sounds so light-hearted when with friends can be going through such a rough time. I think that alone should be a sign that the "this too shall pass" cliché is almost certain to come to pass. I wish the happiest birthday, bro --for helping a fellow film geek from down South exploit his passion, and because I can't imagine a guy who deserves to smile more than you do.
