Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

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!!

I’ve started saying this when things get serious.
When Im looking for an ingredient in the cupboard and I can’t find it after my initial look: ‘okay, no more mr nice guy’.
So begins a far more serious rummage.

Next time you write something, look back at it after 24 hours.
Try to change any Latinisms to simpler, more Germanic words. (Change ‘fortunate’ to ‘lucky’, for example).
Try to change passive verbs to active (‘we threw the rock’ vs ‘the rock was thrown’).
If the word or phrase would be used in a corporate setting, get rid of it (‘in terms of’, ‘circle back’, ‘action items’ can be changed to ‘about’/’regarding’, ‘come back to this’, ‘things to do’ etc.
Hope this stuff isn’t too obvious and is perhaps a little helpful.

People you haven’t seen in years, wounds healed by time, affordable food and drink, family, watching TV.
If you’re as lucky as me there‘ll be seaside and countryside too. Maybe it wasn’t about the destination, but the friends we made along the way?
