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!

#introductions

Behold

stealing this bald-faced from my friend Sydney's birdsite account: men let your best bros know they can talk to you anytime

if I'm being 100% honest with myself, that run of reviews I wrote last summer/fall (i.e. Relaxer, Mandy, The Night Comes for Us) should have clued me into the fact that I should give poetry a whirl

Mandy is on the timeline, so I can't not post the review of it I wrote, which is incidentally one of the things I'm proudest of having written. http://dimthehouselights.com/2018/08/fantasia-2018-mandy/

Good morning Party People, we are right back at it

My two years on the fediverse, and especially the year and change so far on laserdisc.party, have been the most rewarding and fulfilling stretch of time I've spent online in decades. I have crossed paths with incredible people, made some friends, and felt more warmth and support and generosity of spirit from this community than I have from pretty much anywhere else online. It just feels good, man. I'm glad I'm here, and I'm glad y'all are here too. Long may we run!

dammit I missed my fediversary last week too

Good morning Party People, we are back at the virtual copy desk after a pretty solid week of rest and shenanigans

Good morning Party People, it's my last day off until the Christmas holidays, so I'm gonna make the most of it, oooooh yeah
