being curious is in and being nonchalant is out (also I’ve been reading essays on challengers for weeks now and it’s only made the movie that much more interesting).

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!!

there's nothing better for our current short and shorter attention spans than a good (very) long movie. yesterday I watched milos forman's Amadeus (1984) for the first time and truly cannot believe it took me this long. A spectacle from start to finish - which made the 3 hours absolutely fly by. maybe I'll upgrade to sergey bondarchuk's War and Peace next.

is All Things Must Pass the best thing an ex beatle has done? Unquestionably so, yes. However, when it comes to Paul McCartney's solo albums, one can never be done discovering, mostly because the guy just did SO much stuff, some of it strange, and a lot of it works. for example, Temporary Secretary is a weird funky little track that I simply cannot get out of my head. and Wing's Wild Life is kind of a masterpiece, really. definitely worth a deep dive.
