The gift that keeps on giving. Such joy to see it in the mailbox. Seeing the selection and scheduling your months out based on films and films and films. And then you get the best cutouts!

Saw at film forum for first time a few years ago. I like waiting to see classics at the repertory theaters. Makes it feel exciting and def worth the cost.

When I was in my early 20s I worked at a video store called Limelight - the kind of place that had every Takashi Miike movie ever (including his children’s movies) but kept their lights on by stocking 5 copies of Pride and Prejudice. After that, I was lucky enough to get a K********a invite which allowed me to torrent deep cuts by Olivier Assayas, and prized .mp4s of Cameron Jamie’s movies. Maybe I just didn’t like leaving the house but I don’t think that 2005 - 2015 were great years to be going to the theater anyway. When I moved back to Vancouver I didn’t know many people so my sister suggested I volunteer at The Cinematheque, and it’s become one of my favorite places in the city. It’s basically got a lot of the same programming as The Metrograph minus a lot of the annoying pretensions of arthouse theaters that are… annoying. The Cinematheque even went through a redesign and it looks even better than it did before which never happens. Volunteers get to see whatever for free so sometimes I find myself there 4 times a week. Some of the most memorable screenings include Maborosi, The White Sheik, Even Dwarves Started Small, Caught By Night, Gun Crazy, and Out Of The Blue.

My favorite spot to go catch a movie, they have retrospectives of the best directors and have an overall wonderfully curated selection of films. It’s run as a film archive as a non-profit, and consists of one very minimal screening room and a small cafe adjacent to it. Just hearing the way my shoes click on the white marble floor will already make me giddy — I’m so glad it reopened. Just before the pandemic caught one of my all time favorite movies, Fellini’s Juliet of the Spirits there, on original restored film.

Actually fantastic advice. Got hooked on these puppies young. These books were better than grad school. And now I’m a therapist.

Yum yum yum! Refreshing.
My ideal recipe is—
Icy cold glass rimmed with Tajin
Tons of lemon juice
Sparkling water
Salt, to taste
Watch it fizz like a potion!

Nurture the invention of your yearning. Protect your girlish lust by drawing a clear line between fantasy and reality. Choose to stay in fantasyland.
