Having a partner that fully supports you? Encourages you? Makes sure you take care of yourself first and foremost over all else?

Wonderful. Especially when the last partner was none of that

Having a partner with two lovable (if not chaotic) girls who have unlocked your full Step-Dad mode? BONUS

I'll take a country halftime show.

Johnny (after some necromancy is worked)
Alan? I haven't listened to Jackson since I dipped my toe into country back in 2003 so I'm not sure

Season 1 had the unfortunate reality of having to film in the midst of the first lockdown.

The direct result, out of their control, was a final two episodes that were not initially what they planned.

I generally miss dance. I didn't care that I wasnt the best, but there's the part of me that likes "order" and having choreography I can perform, and then there's the part of me that will go to a crowded club, have a few shots, and just let the body move to the music

I'm gonna need an Adderall refill, 19 oil trucks of Monster, some diving gear, a giant crazy straw, and access to the Grand Canyon while the government is shutdown. Now come on, Slabby!

#NowWatching: Halloween III (2009)

Took a break from my CPA Study Cave to revisit this for the first time since its release and...well...let's just say stay tuned #physicalmedia #letterboxd #film #movie #halloween

On top of a black shelf sits a large collector edition box of the Halloween complete collection. Directly in front of it into the side is the second case within the box, showing the worn down and dirty mask of Michael Myers. Standing on its edge in front of this case is the Blu-ray disc for Rob zombie's Halloween 2. Directly next to it and slightly obscured by the camera is a decorative skull

"Good Boy" takes the love audiences have for dogs, and uses it against them. Such a simple concept with a brilliant execution and incredibly tense moments. Even if the premise is stretched thin to its breaking point by the end of its 75 minutes #GoodBoy #film #movies

A ★★★★ review of Good Boy (2025)

I have often said that a simple premise when done right can result in a great movie. “Good Boy”, the feature directorial debut of Ben Leonberg, is going to be the example I use to support this thought...

I really am trying to be more active here, I just forget sometimes. Most of my content is focused these days so juggling FB, Insta, TikTok AND this means this just gets dropped on occasion

Also I really miss my Wheel of Time peeps. I let my partner borrow my copy of EotW so she could get into it

Rest assured. The hype behind #OneBattleAfterAnother is not enough hype. God DAMN and a half what a movie

Ryan Spearman @kingspearman19.bsky.social · 11d

It's wild that the best movie of the year (One Battle After Another) and the worst movie of the year (The Strangers: Chapter 2) came out on the same day
