If youâre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donât! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itâs 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 itâs cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. Itâs not really anything special visually but itâs a beautiful institution and itâs so fun to be there â¤ď¸
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loewâs Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! Itâs pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but itâs a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!
the first time i heard this song i was in my 1st period art class junior year of high school. i remember having to step out of class to cry. so insanely well written and beautifully performed and it feels so personal but universal. the song is meant to (in the narrative of the album) represent ethelâs reflection of her life from heaven and the feeling is so well translated. if you havenât listened to preachers daughter Please God do it.
