The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

On a first date switch your outfit with your date, shoes included if possible. Preferably in a very crowded place. Icebreaker. Then share a bike or a scooter back home.

Bull of Heaven is an experimental, avant-garde music group that was featured in a scholastic article entitled “Unperformable Works and the Ontology of Music” in the British Journal of Aesthetics, published by Oxford University Press in May 2016.
From September 2009 to January of the following year, the band released a series of songs, known as Alephs. The first ten of these contained roughly 1000-1100 pieces in each sub-folder. Aleph10 and Aleph11 contain one million and ten million pieces respectively.
In June 2010, the band created another new set of pieces different from the numbered, Aleph, and I-C pieces; this was a set of ten untitled folders, each containing thousands of short pieces, named as 32 digits of hexadecimal code.
Between the end of 2010 and 2011, the band started creating various music puzzles, anti-music, and even lengthier pieces of music from where they started, which included anywhere from 900 hours to 2 months in duration.
Examples include: MP3 files that are actually RAR archives, password-encrypted files, pieces embedded within other formats, such as PDF and EXE, pieces listed with negative song lengths, and a variety of SWF files.
In March 2011, the band released a series of pieces of extraordinary lengths. This series, ranging from their numerical ordering of 238-260, is similar to the Longplayer idea - each sound is the length of a prime number, and each subsequent piece
creates near infinite lengths of time before they’re synchronized.
The final in the series, 260: cm (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47,53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79,83) would last 8,462,937,602,
125,701,219,674,955.2362595095 years before all the pieces synchronized.
In 2012, they released only three pieces of music, including 289: CALCULOR, a calculator that doubles as a music generator.
In early 2014, the band released a fan-made compilation of love songs, 300: Songs for Girls, followed by 301: Weed Problem II-V, and another extremely lengthy piece, 302: It is Part of Spacd and Time, which runs for at least 86,370,000 years. 310:
ΩΣPx0(2^18x5^18)p*k*k*k
is their longest release, and lasts for 3.343 quindecillion years.
Their entire discography is uploaded to the Internet Archive and mostly available on their website, though it’s frequently subjected to numerous 404 errors and downages.
The band originally consisted of Clayton Counts and Neil Keener, but after Counts’ death, Keener remains the only member. On September 12, 2018, Neil released the first new Bull of Heaven piece since Clayton's death, titled "Fight Night for the Ghosts of Heaven".
