Ever since I was like 8 I have been obsessed with the movie Xanadu. Itās campy, itās fun, it has Oliva Newton John, Gene Kelly and ELO. The sound track is no joke one of my favorite albums ever and I have probably listened to it hundreds of times at this point in my life. Itās not a particularly great movie but I think itās a good testament that sometimes things just speak to you not because of their objective goodness but because of your ability to see the beauty in it.

Peter Bogd. 1975 musical. Everyone hated this when it came out - people were busy taking 'ludes and participating in the counter culture and the man dropped a Cole Porter musical. Targets to this movie is a nonstop director run. Feels like a group of friends putting on a show and you're in on the bit. No one can really sing or dance. Love it.

I am a huge musical theatre nerd. This was the first movie I ever went to see alone at a movie theater. I was 14 years old and already a smoker, a Daniel Day Lewis die hard fan, and Marion Cotillard obsessed.
I remember I watched on a weekday after school, still in my uniform. I was the only person in the room, it was like a 2pm screening on a Wednesday.
I was so brokenhearted because of my first boyfriend and he happened to LOVE musicals as well, so I bought my ticket alone and it felt like a really big girl move, to go without him to see a movie I knew he wanted to see.
I remember crying THE WHOLE MOVIE. Literally bawling my eyes out.
I learned every song.
Years later, I auditioned with a performance of āTake It Allā for a Musical Theater Major I couldnāt sign up for because of money. Its weird because that song got me the scholarship (even tho I couldnāt go study, I did won the thing).
That day, by myself, at the movies, is a day Iāll remember forever.

Picture him running after a ping pong ball he dropped and not being able to catch it. Iāve heard that this works.

My go to for just a simple one question is if you were a bird what bird would you be. Itās really specific so it gives a clear topic to talk about but itās still fun. Its also a good way to get to know someone by having them talk about themselves without putting them super on the spot. I think any question like this is more interesting than a āwhat do you do?ā

Recently Iāve been obsessed with the movie 3 iron. itās written and directed by Kim Ki-duk and itās absolutely mesmerized me. Most of the film has no dialogue but when I was watching it at first I didnāt even notice. The emotion and suspense is entirely carried by the narrative and the acting. Itās a movie that really captures my focus when I watch it and itās definitely one that I like to rewatch to reanalyze what I think is going on. Romantic, eerie, kinda comforting 10/10.
