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.

collaborate, step back, analyze the work of others, & K.i.s.s. (keep it simple, stupid!)

Ask a few people for feedback. A few rounds of critique can be soooo helpful. Don’t ask what they like about your work—“I like…” is not helpful and too subjective. Ask what WORKS (and what doesn’t work) about your design.  Frequently step away. Every time you make progress, take a break so when you start working again you’re looking at the design with fresh eyes. Staring too long can push you further into the rut. I often find that doing something completely different during the breaks can reset your brain a bit. Plus breaks are just nice in general we love a break! Look at inspo! Consume👏that👏content👏. Taking some time to browse other designers’ work (students, peers, contemporaries, but also the greats) can give you some great ideas, though what I find most helpful is keeping mental notes or jotting down what makes each design successful. Which elements are working? How do they convey information? Even if their work isn’t your personal style there are still gems to be mined.  The simplest solution is often the best. I believe it was Michael Beirut who said this (don’t quote me on it though there’s a good chance I’m wrong lol), don’t try to be different, just try to be good… or something like that. If your design is “good,” it will inevitably be “different” because YOU are what makes it unique. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel!  If you ever need a second pair of eyes I would definitely be down to help!

Also, not technically docs BUT Dopesick and/or Painkiller are solid series about oxy/Purdue Pharma
