And now, by way of #introduction this is an account about movies, dad stuff, and being from the south.

I'm Thomas From the Internet; you may have heard of me. My reputation is impeccable, my posts exceptional.

If you like sports, I'm also the admin of AllPro.Social, Mastodon's only sports instance. You can follow me there @thomas@allpro.social

“Y’all” is a superior plural pronoun. “Ain’t” is a perfectly good contraction. “Reckon” is a fantastic verb for describing when you are of an opinion. “Yonder” is the only word to describe that way over there.

My greatest weakness is that I absolutely cannot just shut the fuck up.

Put this on my tombstone

Dracula is buried in Memphis

It's also the same time that I lost motivation to write. Or at least maybe lost the time? That seems like a cop out

Anyway, I just stopped doing that. I honestly don't wonder if my job is a big source of increased depression. If I take a hard look at it the time periods line up.

I used to be a pretty good writer. Like good enough to get praise from writing teachers and my screenwriting prof. Good enough, I think. I wrote every single day, without fail. Carried around these giant spiral bound notebooks and would fill them up constantly. There are boxes of them laying around

However, I do not

If I had the means I would quit my job today

There's a world that exists where I get my shit together and get back to writing and simply never have to do anything else ever again

Good morning to all y’all

Don’t get me wrong though, it’s not scary in the least

That said, it somehow also comes off thoroughly modern. The direction and camera movements in particular. There’s a bit where a guy is walking up the stairs to get a lamp and it’s genuinely kind of unsettling.

The great thing about this movie is how just wildly 1930s it is. The way people talk in movies of that era is just amazing, especially Melvyn Douglas, Lilian Bond, and Charles Laughton.

Literally doesn’t matter where but I want to get at like 1¢ a word so I can call myself a professional

I’m not going to write a novel next month or anything, I’m just going to write a bunch of short stories starting now and get some published somewhere online or whatever

Watched The Old Dark House (1932) in the dark during a storm. Highly recommended

He came in 3rd in kata in his very first karate tournament yesterday so it’s a Winning Weekend in our house

My kid got first place in a costume contest! 🎃

Just saw the TV trailer for the new Ghostbusters and folks, it looks like shit
