I watched All of Us Strangers with alysolmstead a few weeks ago and came out of that theater haunted to my core. It was one of those movies that just leaves you speechless for days. I mean I’d also just do anything for Andrew Scott and he absolutely killed that.

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!!

Honestly I learn so much about design from just watching other people on the internet making cool stuff (youtube, tiktok, etc.) I went to school for design but I’ve picked up a lot of nifty tricks over the years from following other designers online. Just like anything else it takes time, but everyone has to start somewhere!

So when I was growing up, my family in Hawaii would send us these packages of “Hurricane Popcorn” that was basically just microwave popcorn that you mixed in a giant bag with butter, furikake rice seasoning, and nori rice crackers. So so good. Could definitely make a DIY version if you live near an asian grocery store that would have the ingredients.
