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!!

Buckle up, kkelmyss. There are two film formats still projected in theaters today: 35mm and 70mm (aka 65mm). 35mm was repurposed from Kodak's 135 photographic film standard. Instead of running the film horizontally behind the lens, it was run vertically. This enabled more exposures per foot of film at less resolution. But as cinema grew in popularity, the desire for cleaner images and higher resolutions also grew. Larger exposure area was necessary to achieve this. Cinerama was a cumbersome, yet impressive, short-lived solution. This standard required three synchronized 35mm cinema cameras to record the movie and three synchronized 35mm projectors to display the three separate film reels as one large-format ultra-wide image. Insane and beautiful. VistaVision was a simpler solution. It simply rotated the 35mm film 90 degrees and ran it horizontally behind the lens like still cameras. This significantly increased the exposure area and thus the resolution. VistaVison was only relevant for about 10 years but laid the groundwork for future innovation. The format was famously used by ILM for its renowned special effects, starting with Star Wars. And was resurrected last year to film The Brutalist. 70mm was the straight forward answer to increasing exposure area—just make the film bigger. This standard was run vertically past the lens like standard 35mm and offered nearly double the resolution. 65mm film is actually used for shooting and the finished movie is transferred to 70mm film for projecting. The terms are used interchangeably because they both contribute the finished product. Lawrence of Arabia is a notable film shot using 70mm to accommodate its ultra-wide vistas. IMAX 70mm took inspiration from VistaVision. It rotates 70mm film 90 degrees and runs it horizontally behind the lens further increasing the exposure area and putting it within spitting distance of medium format photography. These are big-ass exposures. It's dramatically more expensive to shoot and project movies in this format. But it produces a gorgeous high-resolution image. And gives Christopher Nolan a huge hardon. Acquisition formats vary for movies. But when it comes to projection, there are predominantly only two film formats today. You're most likely to find a standard 35mm projector at your local independent theater. IMAX 70mm is the other and it's even rarer. Standard 70mm projection rarer still.

i’ve been living roommates for the past 6 years and i have some okay-ish tips to make sharing a space easier. here you go go go -chores will become a problem at some point so let’s clear this out from the start. make sure to have light schedules for cleaning(YES!! including the shower and the sinks and the spider webs), taking the trash out. -spending money for the common products will also become a problem. use an app and share the bill(if possible) for the things you’ve bought.such as soap, other cleaning products, trash bags, toilet papers, and foils etc. (try using beeswax instead of tin foils and wrapsđŸ‘») -depends on the friendship level you’ll grow with your roommate but i think(on daily basis) everybody should cook for themselves, with their own ingredients (ask before using things) and whomever that chef is, should make sure the leave (at least try sis) a clean space after cooking. -having one or two cutlery, mugs, glasses, bowls and plates for yourself and yourself only is definitely a life saver when you’re lazy. you can keep them in your room and wash whenever you want to because they’re all yours and your roommate doesn’t need to know where they are. -if you’re sensitive to noise, make sure to tell your roommate as soon as possible so that you can discuss and agree on something that would work for both of you. this is CRUCIAL. -don’t ask your roommate not to bring friends, that’s such an irritating thing to ask for. *yes some people do it without even seeing you inviting others*. as long as they’re not disturbing you, they also have every right to exist happily -and with their friends- inside of that apartment. -you don’t have to talk about your day, neither do they. don’t try to force a friendship. you’ll figure out soon if you’re gonna be getting along well or not. pretty basic but my holy grails to have a happier co-existing experience. would love to hear more tips and tricksđŸ•șđŸŒđŸŠšđŸŸđŸȘ©đŸȘĄ
