Bio: Mister Hand is a 36 year-old Memphian, a non-graduate of the University of Memphis. There he managed to non-successfully acquire a bachelor’s degree in Film and Television Production, having left college to play in a rock and roll band for five years. After traveling all over the Southwest United States, drinking a lot, developing an ephedrine habit, and becoming a typical egotistic, unmanageable lead singer, he left the life of rock and roll and settled down to be a raging film geek. In his free time, he writes bad screenplays and incomplete novels. His favorite food is butter.

Fan Rant: The Real Bond Villain is Marc Forster

I’ve been a James Bond superfan going on 22 years. Before yesterday, there were only two Bond films I hated–A View to a Kill, and License to Kill. Now there’s a third. Because overall, Quantum of Solace just plain sucked.
