send up of noir films while also being a satire of noir films and modern day conspiracy theorists, super well done imo

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!!

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

im really into thinking about diasporic cinema, as in this new wave of cinema by recent immigrants / first gen americans, about this sort of “third way/third wave” culture. i wrote this piece about latin american cinema and how US-Latin cinema could take inspiration from it.
any thoughts are welcomed and appreciated

it's my birthday tomorrow and i dont know how to explain it, but this track/album has really resonated with me as i reflect on what a birthday means to me and how i want to spend my time here (earth, not the app). i find myself being very reflective, and grateful to have found this song. it feels like one of those moments thats just the right thing at the right time.
also - i love the album cover, incredible. it gives off the same energy as a project ive been working on; glad i could find just a little bit more inspiration.

so many good options but off the top of my head is an indie film from mexico- this super interesting film that’s clearly inspired by the french new wave. in my opinion it’s brilliant and also there are some really inspired choices in this film - love it and recommend it heavy
