Max is the ultimate film aficionado and critic, and although something of a PURIST, is extremely keen to keep up to date with any new developments in film technology, partly in the hopes of being able to discover some new cutting-edge film maker who will be the NEXT BIG THING he writes about for one of the many publications he freelances for. Max is a really good person to know because Max knows EVERYBODY!!
Posted by alex at August 17, 2004 04:41 PMMax sounds like a lurker who'd never actively post unless he's paid, but one of those key lurkers we all need in our communities. Perhaps this is THE lurker use case, a bit like the hair-dresser for any film, who we need to support in order that they spread the word, even though there's never any sign of them.

I see him as being very OPINIONATED and knowledgeable, thus only too happy to comment or contribute in forums and discussions, if for nothing else, to IMPRESS folks with his wit, wisdom and literary prowess!!
