Hello PB (The Breakfast) forum land. I am The Arm. My real name is Harley Smith. Although it says I am a newbie fan, I have been a PB fan since 1999. I have seen them maybe 10 - 15 times, and sat in with them (on drums) 5 times.

I check the forum approximately everyday. I like the vibe. We?ve got Leith who lives in Cal. Frank Zappa, and Freddiewaht (or something like that.) And DavePeck who has the coolest smiley faces I have ever seen (especially the vomiting one.) Side note: I don?t know what ?ser? means.

I thought to myself ? ?Harley, you should introduce yourself. I?m sure aJwvof, Wolfman, Tiedyetoga & the 355 + other folks who are on the forum are all dying to know who you REALLY are.?

Ok then ? here are my top 10 favorite movies of all time. I think you will get the idea.  

10. North By Northwest: Alfred Hitchcock
9. Citizen Kane: Orson Wells
8. Toy Story: Pixar/John Lasseter
7. The Big Lebowski: Coen Brothers
6. The Shining: Stanley Kubrick
5. Pulp Fiction: Quinton Tarantino
4. Tie Quest for the Holy Grail/ Life of Brian (I just can?t choose:) Monty Python
3. 2001 A Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick
2. A Clockwork Orange: Stanley Kubrick
Number 1. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: Gorgeous George Lucas

Honorable Mentions:
Blue Velvet: David Lynch
Plan 9 from outer space: Ed Wood D. wood Jr.
Do the right thing/Bamboozled: Spike Lee
The Muppet Movie: Jim Henson
Punch Drunk Love: PT Anderson (it?s a god damn masterpiece!)

Please feel free to tell me yours. Note: Don?t pick movies because you think other people should see them. Pick movies that are your all time favorites.

You now know who I am. Peace.

And on a slightly related note, did you ever notice that computers in movies always move so freaking fast; not such an abnormality these days, but in the 80s?  The only time a CPU doesn\'t move really fast in a movie is when you\'re downloading the "secret file" or something pertinent to the film\'s climax.

War Games/Flight of the Navigator are a blasts from my past!!!

The Mosquito Coast with Harrsion Ford? I haven\'t seen that in at least 15 years

I have never seen Boondock Saints (Troy Duffy,) and 8 1/2 (frederico fellini.) By the looks of the movies you guys have picked you have good taste in film, so I will now put them on my "to watch list."  

You guys are da Bombz. Thanks. Peace.
