User:ThatoneguyJosh: Difference between revisions
I am your average-joe Southern California resident who happens to be a gun-lover. I first discovered this site in the winter of 2009 when I was searching for what kind of handgun the Joker used in the film [[The Dark Knight]], and after a time of some anonymous editing of a few pages and picture captions, I decided to create an account here on IMFDB for the hell of it. I enjoy this site and I think it has one of the best insights as to what kinds of firearms were used in movies.

I currently do not own any firearms (thanks to alot of the firearms bans and restrictions here in California), but I have handled and fired several different firearms throughout most of my life (from simple hunting rifles to modern handguns). I am also an airsofter and I currently own 6 airsoft firearms; a shotgun and 5 pistols.

I guess the only things left for me to say is that most of the time, I am a fun-loving guy and I don't mind making new friends or having friendly discussions or debates about guns or movies. I will stick around this site for a bit and help out on the articles that need work where it is needed. Other than that, feel free to hit me up on any questions or discussions that you guys want to have with me.

I guess to start this off, my name is Josh, and I hail from the hot and sunny state of California. Yeah, yeah, I know... One of the most pro-liberal states in the union with crazy wildfires, shit weather, restrictive gun laws, and will supposedly fall into the ocean and join Hawaii in 2012...
Ok, ok, now that I got those god-awful jokes out of my system, I guess I will tell you more about myself...

Pages that I have worked on/edited
Batman: Gotham Knight - The page looked very good, I commend whoever got the good screenshots from the film, the only thing it was lacking was some picture captions that were relevant to the film, so I took the liberty to add some back when I was an anonymous editor.
The Boondocks - I took the liberty to add some additional captions to the page's images.
Hot Fuzz - I added some picture captions to that page back when I was an anonymous editor. Although they have probably been removed by now if people think I was 'insulting' the actors with my picture captions. Which I wasn't to begin with... oh well...
Friday - The picture captions were kind of half-assed and they did not give a thorough description, especially on two pictures that were about 2 firearms that were shown to appear in the movie. So I took the liberty to fix up the picture captions. And thanks to User:Predator20 for adding in a movie poster!
High School of the Dead - There were a few lacking pictures in the firearms descriptions, and I decided to edit some of the picture captions so that they would be relevant to the images.
Zombies of Mass Destruction - Whoever created the page, I commend you. But could you have done a better job on the screencaps?
Left 4 Dead - Did a few minor edits here and there
Left 4 Dead 2 - Did some minor edits here and there on this page too.
Independence Day - Don't bring in reality when you watch this movie. Think of it as a modern (for the 90s) reimagining of the film 'Earth V.S. The Flying Saucers and 'The War of the Worlds', just without sharing the same titles
Black Hawk Down - Second best war film behind Saving Private Ryan
Cloverfield - If you are gonna watch this movie, watch it on a smaller screen, not a huge screen. Especially if you get dizzy from fast, first-person motion in a movie
Batman Begins - Batman needed a necessary reboot after the colossal failure
Land of the Dead - Goddamn it George Romero, why did you have to make your zombies in this movie learning to get smarter? That just takes away the realism that the first 3 films had! (Aside from that one zombie in the 3rd film learning how to use firearms)
Diary of the Dead - Thank you for going back to basics with this one George.
Survival of the Dead - Pretty good sequel to the other most recent one you made, but it's not exactly worthy of the title 'one of the greatest movie sequel of all time'
Army of Darkness - Eh... I think this one is like how Spider-Man 3 turned out. Wimping out to go a little mainstream and straying away from what the first 2 films capitalized on and made so popular
28 Days Later - Ok, this one was a decent update to the zombie genre
28 Weeks Later - Pretty good sequel, but nothing special in the eyes of some people
Zombies of Mass Destruction - Pretty good independent horrorfest film, why isn't there a page on this site about the film?!
Zombieland - Wow, pretty damn good Hollywood! I am impressed that you made a good and decent zombie film!
Avatar - It was pretty damn good, especially the visuals, but as far as the story is concerned? Nothing too original in it
Tomb Raider - Yeah yeah, I like this movie. At least it's more better than the other shit videogame movie adaptations of late!
Goldeneye - Most awesome James Bond film of all time
Heat - Epic bank robbery scene + shootout in the middle of a city street with no film soundtrack in the background, only the sound of constant assault rifle sounds = EPIC SHOOTOUT in film history.
The Wild Bunch - DAMN... Talk about a glorified, bullet-spitting shootout fest! And to think, when this originally came out, they were gonna rate it 'X', but they toned it down to the 'R' rating. But even when they did the theatrical re-release in the 90s, the MPAA was threatening it with an 'NC-17' rating! Now that is epic
Watchmen - Perhaps the closest that Hollywood will ever get to nailing down a good adaptation of Alan Moore's greatest comic epics.
Lock 'n Load With R. Lee Ermey - Probably one of the best TV shows where the host is a former U.S. Marines gunnery sergeant (and won almost every medal in the book).
Future Weapons - Watching the next generation of weapons in action it pretty cool.
Black Lagoon - A pretty funny gunslinging anime where the whole attitude of the show fits the overall page description that is here on the site.
High School of the Dead - Eh, this show is pretty good for it's zombie theme, but did there have to be SO MUCH fanservice?
Band of Brothers - This was such a good TV series about World War II.
Favorite Videogames
Left 4 Dead - What the videogame adaptation of the film 28 Days Later would be like
Left 4 Dead 2 - Very good sequel to the previous game
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - A very well done videogame about a possible war happening in our time, and it FINALLY took players out of the World War II setting (Not that it's a bad thing, but it was getting old after awhile)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Awesome sequel! And it's a videogame that deals with that hypothetical war that could happen one day between the United States and Russia
Call of Duty: Black Ops - Wow, this one was pretty damn good. Maybe not as great as MW2, but it is still a great game
