My friend Noah once told me ”reading is not for achievement” and he was right. I quit naked lunch and most recently the autobiography of Alice b Toklas. It gives you a sense of empowerment to take control of your life and put down a book you are not enjoying. Also tangentially related I saw someone recommend “reading bad books“ on here and did not understand that one at all but different strokes I guess

I can’t recommend it enough tbh. I went in there to return a few I had rented last week and got to spend 10 minutes lost in the shelves, just searching through films. There is such a great feeling of comfort I get by being surrounded by so many physical reproductions of the medium I love so mucchhh. It’s like my version of a museum.

Pretty sick, went with a friend and it was very funny. $14 Movie Theater IPAs were hitting in a fantastic way. Then we went to see the second half of the Knicks game in some dive in the Village. It was a great time, stumbled on the escalator in front of strangers.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

It’s also good when the moon wears sunglasses but ideally the moon would have a pair of moonglasses. On the other hand the moon probably needs sunglasses because it is lit up by the sun. Therefore I would also like to see the sun wear moonglasses, whenever we can determine what that entails
