TOoP/Bruce...
Hmmm. Bruce is my first name. "TOoP" is "True Oracle of Phoenix" -- it was a loose associate of various things I was reading _ Françoise Truffaut's book on Hitchcock ('Tru'ffaut being the "oracle" of Hitchcock, a phoenix being a symbol of resurrection, as well as the place where the story in PSYCHO begins - my original account bjblakeslee had been deleted by trolls somehow). Put together it sounded vaguely Harry Potterish, and it added another associative dimension to it. The account was frozen by IMDb in June of 2007 for reasons that were never revealed to me.
"GeorgeObliqueStrokeXR40", my current IMDb user name, was a second account I started for IMDb The Avengers board. It is part of the name of an episode called "Whoever Shot Poor George Oblique Stroke XR40?" It was a sufficiently obscure episode from the Linda Thorson series. George was a supercomputer who had barely survived an assassination attempt. (The name choice was influenced by the fact that my original account had been "assassinated" by trolls.) At some point GOSXR40 was used by me to bump threads (since The Avengers board was dying of neglect) and it game me a way to save use the TOoP identity as an archivist, and Geo became my main thread bumper.
Today, I use TOoP/Bruce on this board, and GOSXR40 on the other board. I continue to repost significant threads from the other board on the other board, with links to where they are archived here. People still come to IMDb wanting to discuss the impact of the film with others, and often these days, it can be awhile before they can connect with someone who can hear them out. I try to connect people who are interested in further discussion to the main boards here. I am always gratified when I see that a person I've been in contact with at IMDb has made it here.
