Addictive near-future sci-fi noir with a political agenda. A great entry point before taking on more ambitious books in the KSR canon. Also, the audiobook version is legit.

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!!

Show the world that you have bad taste in electronics but great taste in books.

Get out and feel the speed, the wind in your hair, the pain in your lungs and quads and ass, the growing awareness that you are rapidly aging and soon will die, but you don’t care, you have a shirt with some kind of muscle car on it that says “I’m not old, I’m classic” and your wife rolls her eyes but she knows it’s true, you’re a goddamned legend. I recommend that.

This band of minor all-stars is tragically under-appreciated.
