About OGR – (By TOG)
He’s a complicated man, knows what he likes and loves to voice his opinion, this site was setup to really get into the mind of OGR.
His choice in movies is eclectic to say the least, whether he’s has just finished watching the latest Battlestar Galactica episode to Tokyo Gore Police. He is a fan of Horror, whether it be the cult classics of Poltergeist to Evil Dead.
He does have a perverse pleasure in “B” and “C” grade horror movies. You know when you are trawling the markets, in a country where a dollar buys you 3 DVD’s, you see a stand that sells movies, so out of curiosity and because your partner is looking at shoes, you wander over and see movies you have never heard of, but it has a quote from Siskel & Ebert “ Three Thumbs Up !!” OGR will buy these by the truck load.
He loves his music, once again he could be listening to a Wu Tang album to be followed by You am I. He has introduced me to some music I would not have otherwise picked up. Though he is adamant that Skunkhour is the best band ever, I just don’t see it.
The concept for OGR was a simple one, like anyone, we were sitting around talking shit, the thought of expanding these rants, opinions and reviews to some sort of palatable format and subjecting anyone else who cared to look. I had no idea that OGR had more rants and conspiracy theories than Jerry Fletcher (you know, the Mel Gibson flick).
We are more than happy to hear your opinions of anything that may have pushed a nerve or of anything you would like us to discuss eg movies, music etc
Though bear in mind these are purely the opinions of the writers, were not here to push our views on anyone (unless you’re a real idiot, which probably drew you to the site in the first place)
Right of rebuttal – Who is The Other Guy? (By OGR)
OK, I’ve known The Other Guy (TOG) for 13+years, and never once thought how I mught describe him to others.
He would argue that he is the “voice of reason”, the counterpoint to my raving and largely pointless opinions, and perhaps at times he is right.
If I had to describe TOG in one word it would be balanced, he never gets too hung up in one area that he ignores others. He has a healthy work ethic but still spares time for family and personal stuff too.
As far as pop culture is concerned he likes a bit of everything, might prefer an action movie but not too proud to watch a mainstream flick. 90′s music factors heavily in his CD collection but he still listens to new stuff.
In fact where film and music taste is concerned we probably have a 75% crossover of shared “likes”. The only significant disparity is his aversion to most horror movies. But “Two Guys Agreeing on Everything” would be totally boring, so we’ll probably spend most time on this website talking about the other 25%.
P.S. Oh, and even though I love Skunkhour and would argue that “Feed” is one of the best albums of the 90′s and clearly the best Aussie hip-hop album (so far), I have and would never claim that they are the best band ever.
