I watched Gilda on a plane because I had run out of movie options, and since watching sky maps (rawdogging) became a bro-tok thing, I decided to revert back to traditional in-flight entertainment. Gilda is incredibly modern for something made in the 40’s, features Rita Hayworth at the height of her beauty and has a nuanced script that avoids characters lumbering you with dry exposition. All of the history between characters is implied. It is a joy to watch.

📽Support our independent cinema screens!! I am a Londoner so I have memberships with BFI, Prince Charles and Picturehouse and it is totally worth it, especially as watching movies takes up a good chunk of my personality and I dislike watching things at home. Advanced screenings, access to smaller films, discounted tickets are all great but it’s also just nice to support these places who do so much in preserving the British independent film scene which is currently in an abysmal state. Curzon, Everyman, The Garden, Genesis, ICA and many more are also all great and I would be members of them all if I could. Big up BFI especially because I probably wouldn’t have got as far in both my career and love of film without them, and the Northampton Filmhouse in my hometown which was my first independent cinema.
These are of course London based examples but I encourage everyone to support their local independents 🫶🏻

🎥The best movie theater in New York seats 35. See a movie here you know nothing about and you will be inspired. For me most recently it was a screening of Dave Wascavage’s Suburban Sasquatch. Simple Town has been lucky enough to play videos here twice. The first night was packed, the second night we sold two tickets, and both nights were perfect.

🎞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

Recently I’ve become obsessed with Japanese strawberry shortcake. The best in London IMHO is from here

Since I was a child I have enjoyed walking around my house with one shoe on and, you guessed it, one shoe off. Something about the cold floor under one foot and something comfy on the other offers a duality that’s hard to beat. I’m aware this is weird. Please don’t tell anyone.
