A lifelong fan of Avatar the last Airbender, I resisted the Legend of Korra for a long time. But after completing maybe my 300th rewatch of the original series, I was hungry for more and dove back into Korra.Wow was I blown away. Korra's story is almost more like real life than Aangs. It's not just one big bad bad guy you have to defeat, it's lots of medium sized bad guys. Some want world domination, some want to liberate the world through force, and Korra tackles them all bravely as well as the demons and fear within herself.

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

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!!

Written and directed by Annie Baker, Janet Planet has settled in my mind as the best movie Iâve seen this year. Itâs sort of a slow burn, but it keeps burning in your heart months and months after you finish watching. Itâs slow and highly visual, but doesnât feel tone poem-y at all. The performances are extraordinary. And the way that Annie uses the camera to convey emotion is like a master class. You never feel the director, only the story. But if you analyze the film later, you realize how gracefully you were guided through.

is like a Vaseline-ish productâŚmy understanding is it's like French Vaseline. Sometimes I get dry skin above my eyelids and around the corners of my mouth, and it helps a lot and doesn't do any damage like cortisone cream which can weaken the skin if overused. My brain used to be so susceptible to expensive âbeautyâ product advertising, but then I started getting really bad acne in my early 20âs, so now I see a dermatologist and use some medicated skin care, which helps so much and outside of that I love finding pharmacy or grocery store solutions to my skin issues. Like the aforementioned Homeoplasmine, coconut oil as body lotion, and icing my under eyes in the morning. This is all really obvious stuff, so I'm putting it under the umbrella of Homeoplasmine. (I do, however, still buy pretty lux moisturizers because the meds dry my skin out soooooo much.)

Honestly, I may have replaced my love of random creams and serums with my love of what i call âdrink-ysâ Which here means: non-alcoholic flavored sodas. I do love all the crazy LA ones that have, like, mushroom adaptogens and promise to improve your mood. Though, thus far, nothing improves my mood like a lime yuzu Fever Tree poured over ice. Totally satisfies a craving for a cocktail or a dessert.
