Avatar of the Week: Cinematt01

Greetings everyone. This time around it’s Avatar of the Week: “The Old Farts and Buffy Fans” Edition.

First up we have TonyG. He a 40-ish gay married Bostonian of Italian descent. He works for a disability-related nonprofit. Tony is an avid Buffy fan. Willow and Tara are particular favorites of his. No word on whether he’s an old fart too. Probably not since, he’s “been with my man since 1986,” and happily married types are often annoyingly upbeat.

Next up we have Mike, who, like me, really is an old fart — at least he describes himself as such in his bio. This crusty curmudgeon doesn’t give a lot away in his profile, but his recent curmudgeonly comment makes it clear he’s no fan of Will & Grace.

No word on what he thinks of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

This week’s winner? Cinematt01 Like Mike, he’s a Vampire Slayer enthusiast. God, throw a nickel on this site and you’ll hit a Buffy fan. (Myself included). What really caught my eye in Cinematt’s profile however was his listing as one of his favorite books Screening Party by Dennis Hensley. This book is one of my favorites as well. I’m always thrilled to find others who share my appreciation for it — which is rare considering it is out of print, and darn few people have read it. You can still pick up a used copy on Amazon, and I highly recommend it.

Congrats to runners up TonyG & Mike, and a special tip of the hat to this week's winner: Cinematt01
