Alright, I've officially ditched tiktok seeing the right-wing takeover and I've missed old twitter like whoa. So, hoping to build more of an audience here. I'm a filmmaker, puppeteer, comedy and horror lover who's looking for friends. Let's follow each other, aye?

You’re going to be okay. Someone will hate your book. You’re going to be okay. Someone will not get what you’re trying to do with your art and judge you. You’re going to be okay. You’re going to keep creating, in 2026, because you need it and because the world needs you to. Okay?

I thought we left “worst of the year” lists in the early 2000s? Isn’t the internet hateful enough without us dragging art we didn’t like? #filmsky

It’s crazy to me that the atheists I know are far more Christian than almost all the Christians I know.

It gets tiring being the better friend in most of my close relationships. I long for someone who treats me as I treat my pals cuz they don’t give a shit.

I was going to make a joke along the lines of if AI is going to take my job and whatnot, can they also help me kill myself, but then I realized I was inventing a suicide booth from Futurama.

I noticed whenever a show/movie decides to have these quiet, introspective moments like in Eternals, The Acolyte, or even Andor, that’s when people decide to call it “slow” or poorly written. It’s like no, you’ve just conditioned yourself to see action moments as the only valid thing.

If listening to audio books counts as reading a book, watching a streamer play a game on Twitch counts as you beating said game, right? 🤔

People who bitch about films, tv, books etc.
You should write/produce/direct your own stuff & present it to the world.
Stop talking shit & make it better. Otherwise, it's not just for you & you can not see/read it.
Also, 99% of it is fantasy. Your lack of immersion seems like a you problem.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch is one of those movies where when people don’t like it, I truly feel they don’t get it. It’s not a judgement, it’s ok. It’s just a masterpiece and you don’t understand the genius of Joe Dante. #filmsky

Dark Star - Directors are just like us and watching their student productions proves it!
Dead-Bang - Went in blind and found a new fave action movie.
Gremlins - First time on the big screen and on 35
SNDN - A killer remake, actually

I hope Rian Johnson is a good dude.
There's a shortage of good dudes in this world, and he makes movies I really like.
So I hope he doesn't turn out to be another one of THOSE dudes.
I hope he's just this good dude who makes good movies and gives JGL a weird role in every one of them.
