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.

just went to a brooklyn nets game and sat in the nosebleeds—it was postmodern experience. you see the whole court and all the tiny heads below and you feel big, like god, watching down on them. feels like the end of the movie when they zoom out and break the fourth wall, but it’s for the entire game. highly recommend.
plus, tyra banks was there, sandwiched between two furries—very postmodern.

it’s like free associative brain illuminations. i feel like rimbaud, taking my little notes when there’s a good movie on the tv. i’m like superman. i take my little notes and i dont care how they look because you flip over the page and you never have to look at it again. it’s like throwing a page in your laundry basket, you don’t have to look at it until it’s laundry day and you're sorting them into lights and darks and occasionally you see a little doodle and you’re reminded of god and poptarts and suddenly act one makes sense again.
