a man buys "one of those pale things drifting in alcohol plasma" in a jar from a sideshow. he and his neighbors look at it and wonder what's inside. weird, whimsical, sad. kind of a story about stories, belief, and coping with life.

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

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!!

1. helps me relax + clear my head + forget about work way more than going on my phone (plus i go on my phone secretly all day anyway so it's not even a treat to do it at lunch)
2. i've burned through a ton of books by reading just 15-30 minutes per day. i recommend this very much if you find it hard to "find time" to read

when i click on a rec/ask to read the replies, when i'm done reading and hit back i wish it took me back to where the post was in the feed when i clicked instead of back to the top of the page. does that make sense?
