[germinalphrase]

I actually can't remember. I was a teenager then and budding cinephile. I stumbled on an invitation to the group through an online acquaintance in a completely unrelated message board.

It was an adventure to be able to pull down obscure work from people I'd never heard of previously. As it goes, a lot of the stuff was above my head - but occasionally I'd stumble on something amazing and go deep on that creator. Later, my university had a very good cinema library. You had to request films my name, necessitating research and sapping some of the adventure of chance.
