LASERDISC.PARTY NEVER DIE

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

My name is Derek. I'm an internet old-timer who lives in #Montreal, and I am the founder and admin of laserdisc.party, the video store of the fediverse (or so I like to think).

And while I do talk lots about #movies (went to grad school, wrote a thesis on The Room and Snakes on a Plane, have a film-crit website and two movie podcasts), I'm just as likely to talk about #music, #mtg, #wrestling, and your garden variety comedic nonsense.

Welcome!

Behold

I just had a galaxy brain moment upon realizing that "a handful of X" is "approximately five X"

this Sessions at West 54th show from 2000 is a fucking delight https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlphmUQVAcm0sdxn37bwztNXZCm7tWMN0

We here at the virtual copy desk are devastated by the passing of singer/songwriter John Prine, who died of coronavirus complications at the age of 73 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/arts/music/john-prine-dead.html

Good morning Party People

Good afternoon Party People, I've already modified my Top 250, but that's okay, it's an organic, dynamic list

there were no John Woo movies at all on that list so I've already made an edit lmao

I have it at a 7, which seems real low for a movie that awesome

oh shit, I've got to rewatch Face/Off so I can put it on my 250

yes is #1, so sue me, it's fucking magnificent

Behold, the provisional Derek Top 250. https://letterboxd.com/derek_g/list/the-provisional-top-250/

y'all I think I've done it

I think I have a Top 250

Good evening Party People

Good afternoon Party People, this is a PSA reminding you that Charles Durning brings the heat in Dog Day Afternoon

Good afternoon Party People, I was playing Scattergories and they said "Midwest emo" was not a genre of music and I'm hopping mad about it

an underrated thing about the Animal Crossing: New Horizons soundtrack is that it has strong "lost Japanese jazz-folk masterpiece from the late 70s" vibes
