Alright, I've officially ditched tiktok seeing the right-wing takeover and I've missed old twitter like whoa. So, hoping to build more of an audience here. I'm a filmmaker, puppeteer, comedy and horror lover who's looking for friends. Let's follow each other, aye?
Watched this one on 35mm at Terror Tuesday tonight. It’s nice to be reminded that Tim Burton can be a really great director. This movie is a beautiful blast I will always enjoy revisiting! I’m so glad Superman fell apart so this movie got to exist. #filmsky #letterboxd boxd.it/bV31Ib

I watch the shitty YouTube version every year and it has never lost the magic once. I even prefer this to Christmas Carol, I’m not going to lie.

This will kill repertory theatres. WB has some of the favourable screening terms for indie cinemas. They also have a massive library spanning 100 years of films and HUGE tentpole films that put butts in seats.
Hoarding all that on Netflix would be awful.

Sometimes I’m blown away by the amount of movies some filmmakers watch and video games they beat, but then I remember I’m often creating something when they’re doing that. The dream, my goal, comes first. I’ve come to realize that some just don’t want it as badly as others and that’s ok.

With his new comedy show and debut novel, is it time to let Louis C.K. force women to watch him masturbate again?
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

Y'all, unless they come to the friendship in a pair, friends should get a say in their friends' partners. If we gotta spend so much time around them, we need yes or no input early on. A trial period. Something. I'm just saying.

I've been hearing some variation of "cinema is dying" for the past twenty years, if not sooner.
Every time there's a new trend or the general audience tastes' shift, film nerds loudly proclaim that "cinema is dying", only for movies to keep making money.

The restraint required by the film industry to let Rian Johnson make two Knives Out sequels that are entirely self-contained and only connected by the presence of Benoit Blanc is unlike them. That said, keep it up, I want to see a million more of these things.

December 9th, all four episodes of Teagan and His Bros will premiere on Laugh After Dark TV! To celebrate, how about a theme song drop?? Here’s an extended version of the theme so you can sing along when it releases! Music by Kyle Cates, lyrics by Brandon Nate. #comedy #rap #show #filmsky

We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.

Disturbing Behavior - better than expected!
The Keep - Super dope monster killing nazis
Running Man - great direction, sloppy script
Mr Scorsese - Feels like it barely scratches the surface, but still great!

Got asked by a colleague if I felt I was improving as a writer with each book I wrote.
Lied and said "I believe so."
The truth is *whispers* "I don't care."
As long as I reread my writing later and enjoy it, I genuinely don't care if I'm improving. It makes me happy. Therefore, I keep doing it.

Friendly Reminder:
Every movie ever made has people who love it & people who hate it.
If you hate a movie, you're free to express that however you want on your timeline.
But don't shit on other people's positive posts. Personal opinions are just that...personal. Not right. Not wrong.
