About Jon Sandys

I found a list of film goofs on Compuserve ages ago (around July or August '96) and thought it would be a good idea for a web site, because I wanted to do one but couldn't really think of a topic. I posted them, and received a few additions, then got a mail from the originator of the list, who worked for the Internet Movie Database, asking me to remove his goofs which he had collected and were copyrighted. I removed all mistakes apart from the ones I had been sent since starting, and built it up again from scratch. The first mail I've got a copy of (I keep all mails, just in case there's ever another copyright problem) was sent to me on the 4th September 1996, so I've been going for more than 2 and a half years, I've received over 2,500 e-mails, and have got.....a lot of mistakes, with a lot more on the way.

A bit about me: I'm 20, and live in the UK. I went to the Royal Grammar School in Guildford, leaving in 1997. I studied Maths, English, and Economics at A-level, and got grades BBC, getting me into Southampton University to study Accounting and Finance (don't laugh). I was involved a lot in school drama, performing in Macbeth before Christmas '96, which went very well, and we performed "She Stoops to Conquer" in March '97. in July '97 we performed a play in the school drama festival called "Twice Nightly" which was written by one of my friends, which was very well received.

University life's great, it has to be said - apparently work's involved somewhere, but I haven't come across any yet. I'm not doing drama now, but I'm working with Union Films on the cinema side of things - kind of the illegitimate son of theatre. I passed my first year exams, and I'm now half way through my second year.
