Hi everyone.
I can't believe this place has been here all these years and I've never known about it. I've been a huge fan of The Burbs for more than 20 years now, and I had no idea there was a group of people I could have been talking about it with all this time!
I've lost count of the number of times I've seen The Burbs. Several hundred by now. Like a lot of you, I go through periods where I watch it almost constantly. It's especially good for me when I'm going through hard times. I don't know why this film helps me through those times like no other film can.
A few years ago when I was redecorating most of my house I would do all the work during the night, like 10 pm until 4 or 5 am. And I'd have The Burbs playing on a portable DVD player on a loop, watching/listening to it 3 or 4 times a night for weeks at a time. And I never got bored with it. Amazing!
Every few months I go through a little ritual where I hunt around on Amazon, just to check if any of the versions of the DVD have a Joe Dante commentary on them. This time while I was hunting I was amazed to find the brand new Blu Rays coming out this summer. I've been waiting and hoping for something like this since DVDs first came out! Please let it have commentaries on it!
Anyway, with those new Blu Rays coming out, I started hunting around online again for stuff to quench my Burbs thirst. And that's how I found this place. I wish I'd known about it sooner, but I'm glad I finally found it. I hope it's still active. Reading through all the old posts over the years gives me a similar pleasant and happy feeling that watching the film does.
Hope to get to know and hear from lots of you in the future!

It's good to have yet another fan on the site.
