I believe #introductions are in order.

My name is Derek, and I like movies. I like them so much I went to grad school and got an MA in Film Studies. I wrote about Snakes on a Plane and The Room for my master's thesis. Still can't believe they let me graduate with that.

I'm also a pro-am film critic. I've been running https://www.dimthehouselights.com for 4 years now, and I've had reviews crop up here & there.

Here's four movies I like a lot:
Take Shelter
RoboCop
Son of the White Mare
High and Low

🎬🎉

Behold

I'm going to copy my #CanHelpWith list over from dot-social.

- copywriting/copy editing
- translation (🇬🇧↔️🇫🇷)
- film history and criticism
- subtitling/closed captioning
- the fundamentals of podcasting
- wrestling appreciation
- Magic: The Gathering 101
- real basic graphic design stuff, like posters and such
- shooting the shit
- your garden-variety chorin' [local only]

Good morning Party People and honorary laserheads, our broadcast day begins not at the virtual copy desk, but in my kitchen.

another day, another instance where I'm compelled to post "Plastic Love" onto the timeline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjDzgZ2SNY0 #NowPlaying #Fediplay

Today's task list involves using last week's Eagles-Giants game to train the football wordlist AI, shout out to @Thomas

"the guiatr player from zz top billy gibbons but he's a gibbon lol"

Bon matin laser friends, our broadcast day begins at the virtual copy desk as I ponder a fantasy hockey trade.

should maybe tag this as #SmallStories and #TootFic and what not

The burger arrives at the table. It's the size of a volleyball and as heavy as a small child. Hockey pucks for patties. A garden salad's worth of toppings. Some yellowish goo of indeterminate origin that might be mustard or melted cheese, who knows. I spin the plate slowly, examining the burger like a Jenga tower in the hopes of finding an advantageous point of ingress. The ref blows his whistle. I'm going to need all of my magic training to make this thing disappear.

Good morning laserheads

I don't have any drafts b/c all the shit I post is evergreen and my brain always spins gold 100% of the time and my toots will never age badly and I will die batting 1.000

It _fucks_.

A shorter, slightly more interesting list is the ones I had to cut from that list because of the constraints I had, or may merit inclusion on a future iteration of that list. https://pastebin.com/RmKbDFDC

(man, I'm glad I had this at the ready)

National Album Day, eh? Well, here's 200 of them I like. https://derekgodin.com/top200/

Good morning Party People, friends and associates of our fair instance, today I entertain my sisters, who are visiting me from out of town. But more relevant to our interests, I'm seeing A Star Is Born with them this afternoon.

I can confirm: going to see They Might Be Giants on the 30th, lads. I'm so excited!
