Amc a-list membership

If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.

Metrograph

Film Forum is the OG but Metrograph is younger and hungrier, with a more diverse slate of films and an emphasis on rediscovered or neglected classics. Great atmosphere too, with a restaurant and bookstore. you can’t go wrong!

kenji lópez-alt late night videos

Back in the day Kenji (who worked at Serious Eats and wrote some of the best NYTCooking recipes) used to make these "late night" videos where--clearly tired and/or drunk from a night's work--he'd strap a gopro on his noggin and make cheap grub while huffing and sighing heavily (in the daytime videos he tells you about the recipe) and it makes me so happy to know pro chefs also make drunk meals

reciting poems

it sounds stupid and pretentious but every time I see one of those old school British actors recite some old Wordsworth poem i think damn you really did it!!! Or George Steiner has those beautiful stories about the value of Talmudic memory during the holocaust, or Pasternak standing up to Stalin during the Soviet Writer's Conference in the 30s surely to be arrested and making everyone recite Shakespeare's "I summon up remembrance of things past.." its so powerful!!! Recitation and memory has such strength to it, and I want to keep it strong! I'm trying to learn a Blake poem rn and I feel such a special connection to every line when I learn them... who cares if im pretentious!!!!!!
