Ever since I was like 8 I have been obsessed with the movie Xanadu. It’s campy, it’s 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. It’s not a particularly great movie but I think it’s 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.

nothing touches my soul deeper than the sound of music. all of the women in my family have cherished the movie forever, and i grew up listening to the music. everytime i hear that opening song, i cry and am flooded with pure and unadulterated joy. i’m convinced my nana is in fact maria, making it that much sweeter for me. a perfect film that makes me believe that musicals are the closest thing we have to magic.

I love musicals!! There is nothing more americana than a corny movie adaptation of an even cornier broadway musical :’)
Their spirit overcomes their technical shortcomings! And you can get lost in the sauce of incredulous technicolor costuming and dance numbers. I just watched Bye Bye Birdie (1963) and it was so bad in all the right ways, can’t recommend enough!

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.

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

My go to for just a simple one question is if you were a bird what bird would you be. It’s really specific so it gives a clear topic to talk about but it’s 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 “what do you do?”

Recently I’ve been obsessed with the movie 3 iron. it’s written and directed by Kim Ki-duk and it’s absolutely mesmerized me. Most of the film has no dialogue but when I was watching it at first I didn’t even notice. The emotion and suspense is entirely carried by the narrative and the acting. It’s a movie that really captures my focus when I watch it and it’s definitely one that I like to rewatch to reanalyze what I think is going on. Romantic, eerie, kinda comforting 10/10.
