Rec | “PRAY TELL”

🥺

Great phrase. A tad southern dilettante-y perhaps, but that’s a plus for me. “What, pray tell, are you going to do with all those onions?” See, it adds a little wan aloofness to your disbelief

I'm not really one for southern phrases, but I do love placing one handover the other and going "pray tell" when someone has gossip or drama share

Ohh yeah. Don't even get me started on "of some sort" or anything like that. Don't know if that's a good example but I like it too.

southern phrase im a big fan of is "bless her heart" as both a recognition of someone being genuine and sweet, and a kind way of saying "she's dumber than a box of rocks". could also mean "i hate her guts" but you're in polite company. incredibly versatile phrase. oldy but a goodie.

Movie club

Grab a couple friends, watch (once per week, together or separately) classics/canonicals you otherwise would never have gotten around to, discuss irl or on Zoom. Feel free to hate, but also feel free to love There is literally no other way to get yourself to watch Jeanne Dielman, but boy-oh-boy you’ll be happy you did

Metrograph

Film Forum is the OG but Metrograph is younger and hungrier, with a more diverse slate of films and an emphasis on rediscovered or neglected classics. Great atmosphere too, with a restaurant and bookstore. you can’t go wrong!

2009 cult-classic g-force

oh this is my favorite story. in high school this boy that liked me asked me to hang out, i left a birthday party to go see him. went to his house. we go to the basement to watch a movie. i put on the 2009 Disney classic. G-Force. With the star-studded cast including (but not limited to) Nicolas Cage, Zach Galifanakis, Tracy Morgan, and Penelope Cruz. about 40 minutes in I get the feeling I am being watched. I turn. I am being watched. said boy kissed me (on the mouth). G-force is still playing. they are about to escape the pet store. we kiss for maximum 2 minutes. I stand up abruptly after and run out the door mumbling that i have to work tomorrow. years later he told me he was in love with me.
