[edit] FGM IMDb reviewer?
Someone using this name has reviewed 1000+ movies on IMDb[1] (I think I've seen a second account there using the name too). A number of the reviews are of movies widely believed to be lost. The claims were met with suspicion on the usenet group alt.movies.silent[2] I don't know what to make of it all myself. Шизомби 04:36, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Recently posted on alt.movies.silent (not by me) : "If you Google a lengthy discussion about Mr. McIntyre's claims that occurred on this newsgroup a couple of years ago, the consensus is that his tales of being squired around the world (Moviola in tow) to acquire prints for this "elusive collector" is the work of a fantasist (to use a nice word) with plenty of time on his hands. Which doesn't mean that he has never seen an an actual movie. It just means that everything he writes as reportage is suspect." Saxophobia 16:58, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
