Jim Rohner




Jim loves movies probably a little bit more than he should. He's not saying he would marry them or anything, though he does feel more of an intimate connection to his favorite film Groundhog Day than he has with any women who walks this earth. He's known amongst his friends as the guy who hates everything, though what they don't seem to understand is that he only hates the shitty movies they really like. He doesn't like the French New Wave but loves Last Year at Marienbad and his biggest regret is passing up the chance to talk to Joseph-Gorden Levitt at a party at Sundance in 2009. Also, he wears pants.
