Social Media @deannmodom
NOTE: My motion picture log further below is updated weekly (last updated 10/06/19). Scroll down a little to see all of the motion pictures I see every weekend on the big screen! I'm happy to make recommendations.
Well, so much for my social media rant below. If you read through it, you'll see it was dated 2011. I was able to successfully hold off until 2016. Moving to Los Angeles made me cave because it is a necessity in this town. So, I am now on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and I will probably be on a myriad more before I finish typing this... -DMO 03/06/2016
______________________________
Everybody is always hounding me to start a blog. And join Facebook. And Tweet. Well, I'm still anti-Facebook and Twitter (I've got my reasons), but I'm finally starting the blog so this should make some of you happy. Blogs and online comments in general can be dangerous. Do you know how many relationships end or how many people don't pass background checks because of comments they've written online? I could tell you stories. So, be careful out there with your online comments. And don't forget that they are out there forever. Be kind to your lovers, families, and friends and don't write stupid things that you'll later regret. Okay, I'm ending this PSA (it was, after all, for your protection) and am now off my soapbox about the dangers and evils of the World Wide Web. I've been struggling with how to actually begin this blog because I know it is supposed to reveal something about the person writing it. But in this invasive, online age, I revel in my privacy.
Don't get me wrong, though, I've got dirt. Who doesn't? In fact, I truly believe that real life is stranger than fiction. I've got journals full of dirt that would make your jaw fall open in disbelief, and they would keep you reading into the wee small hours of the night, which would then force you to call in sick to work the next day. But I'll decide when and where and how I'll reveal my dirt. Therefore, I thought I'd start with one of the things I love most: the motion picture show. Or, after you review the very long list below, MANY motion picture shows. I am a film lover. A junkie even. And because I see 2-3 movies - in actual movie theatres, hey! - every weekend, people in my life often ask me for recommendations. I see movies as they open, and by the time they are on video, I am on to bigger and better things so I can no longer remember what to recommend to whom. So, I started keeping a log to have something to reference when people ask. Therefore, I am starting this one-sided conversation at you, the blog reader, with my motion picture log. Hopefully, this will reveal something about me you didn't know. Or you knew it, but you didn't really want it to be true. Or it may just scare you. I don't know. Whatever. My log does not include movies I own or may have seen in other capacities like rentals, cable, or on-demand (I have a hard time watching movies on smaller devices because I'm blind as a bat). These are movies I paid to see on the big screen, in all of their splendid glory! And, as a side note, let me just say that if you don't go see motion pictures on the big screen in all of their splendid glory, you are surely missing something, my blog friend. This log only dates back to 2000 because that is when I started keeping it (for major journals-full-of-dirt reasons), but I will keep it updated weekly here so that when you ask for a recommendation, I can give you one. Now, pick a movie, stop kicking the seats and STOP TALKING (I WILL shout at you through the darkness if you don't! I really will.), and go eat your sludge-buttered popcorn and spicy Hot Tamales... -DMO 12/11/2011
