On a medieval history binge on YT and this video is super interesting for many reasons but my biggest takeaway was the insane priests of medieval Prague who had several recorded complaints against them including:
1. A priest who was running a brothel from his home
2. A priests who got in trouble for continuously seeing a prostitute but said it was okay bc he paid her immediately after and made her leave
3. A priests gets caught in a brothel and doesn’t want to get arrested so runs naked through the streets back to the parish
then they would tell their parishioners not to have sex at Sunday mass 💀 so I guess men still had the audacity literally 1000 years ago

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!!

Got to see a midnight screening of The Shining at the Angelika when I was in high school. So so cool experiencing movies that came out like 20 years before you were born in a theater with other people 🫢
tied with Donnie Darko (also a midnight screening) - watched this movie many times on a laptop so the big screen was an upgrade. also it came out when I was like 2 years old so i was super excited to get to watch it in a theater and pretend it was 2001
