Nitehawk Cinema

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s 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.

Anthology/Moma/Momi/lincon/SPECTACLE/roxy

let me break it down… Anthology 10 dollars a lot of lesser known avant garde films mixed in with art/foreign films. most things are also projected on film. really good place if your looking for something different. Moma is like 10 dollars too but if you’re a student you can get a free entry ticket which allows for a free movie ticket you just have to ask the desk. Moma has alot of stuff on film also and is always putting up classics And retrospectives on filmmakers Momi is also 10 and has a ton of cool 35mm more mainstream films always playing such as kubrick or Micheal mann.museum’s section is also cute especially if you like the muppets. Lincon center is a good place to go see indies/foreign movies that have come out recently also around 10 dollars also do some retrospectives remasters and 35mm screenings Spectacle is a community run Brooklyn theater that is one room and plays obscure cinema very fun place to go out to with friends and see something different. Roxy has some good 35mm screenings good date place to take someone.very comfy inside this fancy hotel downside is little more expensive but overall one of the better theater experiences in New York. Warning hipster central however 😭

The room

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

STOP MAKING SENSE

Not sure if this counts more as a concert film but it’s so frigging iconic: BIG SUIT!

I forgot how to eat pizza? and how to sit not weird?

Im gonna be vulnerable and share a story where I am the offender. I matched with a very cool and smart and pretty girl who recently moved to Vancouver from Toronto (she’s now fairly big in the natural wine scene there HAHA but don’t want to doxx anyone just more a data point confirming the above). Aaaaaanyways I invited her to a very cool (long gone and now replaced with a shadow of its former self new pizza shop under new management) retro pizza shop and because I was so smitten proceeded to forget how to “sit cool”, how to make conversation, and EVEN how to eat pizza (omg this is so embarrassing). At the end of the date the server asked us if we wanted to pack up the rest of the pizza and I had picked up the check so she insisted I take it home but for some weird epigenetic mechanism around providing sustenance for the tribe reason I thought it would be “impressive” to say no to half of a massive pizza pie even though it was CLEARLY the end of the date making pizza box transport logistics a non-issue. A humbling reminder that we can all be the weird one sometimes 🫠
