I found a list of film goofs on Compuserve ages ago (around July or August '96) and thought it would be a good idea for a web site, because I wanted to do one but couldn't really think of a topic. I posted them, and received a few additions, then got a mail from the originator of the list, who worked for the Internet Movie Database, asking me to remove his goofs which he had collected and were copyrighted. I removed all mistakes apart from the ones I had been sent since starting, and built it up again from scratch. The first mail I've got a copy of (I keep all mails, just in case there's ever another copyright problem) was sent to me on the 4th September 1996, so I've been going for over a year and a half, I've received over 1,300 e-mails, and have got.....a lot of mistakes, with a lot more on the way.

A bit about me: I'm 19, and live in Pyrford, Surrey, in the UK. I went to the Royal Grammar School in Guildford, leaving in 1997. I studied Maths, English, and Economics at A-level, and got grades BBC, getting me into Southampton university to study Accounting and Finance (don't laugh). I passed my driving test in December '96, and was involved a lot in school drama. We performed Macbeth at school before Christmas '96, which went very well, and we performed "She Stoops to Conquer" in March '97. in July '97 we performed a play in the school drama festival called "Twice Nightly" which was written by one of my friends. It was very well received, and we're likely to put it on in the Electric Theatre in Guildford this Summer, if we can book it.

Oh, I'm also a BIG Eddie Izzard fan.

University life's great, it has to be said - apparently work's involved somewhere, but I haven't come across any yet. I'm not doing drama now, but I'm working with Union Films on the cinema side of things - kind of the illegitimate son of theatre. Exams coming up, then the summer holidays. Excellent.
