About
Your Host
My name is Elizabeth and I'm a twenty-seven year-old living in Toronto, Canada who love, love, loves going to the movies.
I will see any movie that involves Martin Scorsese, Gary Oldman, or Leonardo DiCaprio. If there was ever a film that involved all three of these people, I might just die. It's also true that I simply cannot summon the strength to stop watching "Goodfellas" once it's started.
The movie theatre itself is an important part of my movie-going experience, and as such I only review movies I've seen in theatres. My reviews are more gut reactions than quality cinematic criticism, but I'm pretty honest, frequently snarky, and love popular Hollywood fare way too much to ever develop proper taste in movies.

Stuff I Like
Movie theatres, baking bread, the ability to punctuate properly, Photoshop, the grande vanilla latte from my local Starbucks, a good classic rock riff, Scrabble, Martin Scorsese, strawberries, and Coca-Cola, to name but a few things.
This Site
Kills Me Dead.com has been active in one capacity or another since November 2004, although I have been blogging consistently since early 2002. Everything is handcoded in TextWrangler and the site itself is hosted by Dreamhost.
Wordpress powers this site and I use the following plug-ins to achieve that which I can't due to my lack of PHP skills:
- WP-SNAP! — for creating the paginated alphabetical archives page
- Get Recent Comments
- Akismet — for blocking spam comments
- Post-Plugin Library because it enables other plugins
- Elitee MyTwitter
- Last.fm for Wordpress
- Wordpress.com Stats
- Tabber, a javascript tabifier
Some of the theme functions are from the Monochrome 2.6 theme by Mono Lab because, as I said, I lack PHP skills.
