watched it with my dad. i was still a teen, and he probably doesn't remember that we went, but i always will.. it made me love and understand the joy of watching in theaters/cinemas:)

i dont know how i managed to field interstellar for more than a decade but today i decided i was finally going to see it. i didnt feel like holding my phone up for 3 hours and it was too hot in the living room (heat index today 41C wtf) so i went to the next best screen: the tv in my parents room. my dad was already in bed, cooling off after lunch. i climbed in beside him and put the film on, ignoring his half hearted protest that he wanted to nap lol i wanted to watch interstellar, he just happened to be there
and then an old murph said she knew cooper would come back "because my dad promised me" and i realised i was holding my dads hand, time folding in on itself
and i thought oh, maybe this is why i never saw this film before. maybe it was orbiting me all these years, waiting for this version of me, this version of my dad, this version of life where i could sit beside him, feeling the weight of a hot, humid manila summer, and the quiet gratitude of a moment finally arriving

and having him explain the full plot of interstellar because you havent seen it in 8 years before moving on to topics such as the vastness of space, life, weather, war, how the earth is tilting on it’s axis and may flip someday soon, and car insurance.
it’s the best 😃

•Once Upon a Time In Hollywood w/ my brother in a theater full of elderly moviegoers who must’ve thought it was like golden age of hollywood kinda movie. we were hollering and hooting @ the home invasion scene.
• Interstellar in IMAX yesterday. never seen it before but I found god in that showing. I mean holy fuck. whole theater bawling our eyes out, guys next to me drank half a bottle of svedka it was a ride.
•Top Gun: Maverick on acid. brother I was in that movie I met Pete Mitchell he saved my life.
•Casablanca on NYE, also on acid. Acid didnt kick in until after the movie tho which was fine cus I initially hated Casablanca when I first watched it but something about seeing it in a theater made me do a complete 180 and I see it as one of the best movies ever made now.
•Wild at Heart on Valentine’s Day with my BOYS. No better way to spend my Valentine’s Day.
•Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, with my pops. we were the only ones in the theater and he was asking me questions like a dad does but it was actually kinda fun this time.
I love da movies.

i like carrying a digital camera whenever i go out because
1) it's so handy, like you can just put it in your pocket,
2) you get to have this vibe on your photos in an instant, and
3) there's this delightful, brief moment of waiting before you can post the photos you took, unlike being able to immediately access your phone's photos on insta for example.
the process is just great, much like taking photos on film (but that's another rec)

i've always kept receipts, packaging, tickets, and other similar things in a box. for memories and other stuff like that. most of the time, its tucked away in some corner of my closet.
recently, a friend recommended to me that i should start a junk journal, and i did, and i think i've found a different way to perceive all of the different printed papers i have with me. the pieces of junk have found a soul.

actually saw it twice in cinemas because i just had this urge to see it again, and good god. everything was just.. terrific. from the cinematography to the sound design. i also didn't expect the soundtrack to work over some of the dialogue, but it did. how amazing.
so electric. hot. fun. toxic. definitely a film i'll be coming back to from time to time. it lingers in all ways.. it's actually an experience
(also tashi and art's scene with pecado playing in the background.. that moment i knew it was so over for me)
