I set up Shadowlocked and was the co-editor of Den Of Geek for two years (apparently my stuff for that site is here ). I spent six years living in Italy and miss it enough to go back occasionally and brush up on my language skills. In spite of its incongruity among the other movies I love, My Fair Lady remains my favourite film of all time.
