happy birthday brother ! be more active on here plz we like having you around
You know, I kind of just glossed over introducing myself and jumped right into discussing the Netflix series, but I've been asked to post here, and so I will.
Hello, fellow associates! My name's Mr. Dent, which I think most of you already figured, was in reference to Arthur Dent, protagonist of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Like Arthur, I am in a perpetual state of bewilderment and dismay, which is why I think A Series of Unfortunate Events resonates with me so much. Daniel Handler's work influenced much of my worldview and tastes, perhaps a bit too much, actually. I've actually had an account here before, back when I was an awkward preteen, but that account is long buried by the sands of time, and hopefully it never comes back. I used to dress exclusively in hot topic clothing, back in those days. It was bad. Now I dress like a depressed librarian, but at least that's not tacky.
I consider myself something of a amateur writer. I'm too novice and unrefined to be called an author, but I think ink-slinger suits me fine. I also like old movies! Like, old movies- I'm a big fan of Buster Keaton. Oh, and Night of the Hunter has been my favorite film for a long time. If you haven't heard of it, you should check it out! It's about an evil but charismatic preacher, who chases after two orphaned siblings in search of the fortune their father hid for them. It, obviously, shares a lot of thematic similarities with Snicket's work! But it's also really sappy, and it's one of the few horror movies you could totally watch on Christmas.
I'm looking forward to being more active in the ASOUE fan community! Daniel Handler is my favorite author (yes, I even liked Watch Your Mouth,) and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future! Hopefully the Netflix show brings in a lot of fresh blood.
It’s generally agreed that my first words upon exiting the womb were, “Whadda heck… 😭😂🤣 I want OUT 😩😵😱”
It’s said the doctors and nurses were humbled by my wisdom.
I'd probably join VFD even with all that Hermedy stuff, if only because it's the only chance I'd ever have at surrounding myself with people who have similar taste in aesthetics.
It’s absolutely real, board game Sunny is constantly sending endangered species into extinction to appease her own morbid appetite. I’d go as far as to say it is her defining feature.
tune in tomorrow for more magnificent misterz
