i love it when cities have a small movie theater, which looks rather like a small shop and anyone rarely goes there, even though it's way cheaper and has great movies. they hold a special place in my heart.

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.

When I was in my early 20s I worked at a video store called Limelight - the kind of place that had every Takashi Miike movie ever (including his children’s movies) but kept their lights on by stocking 5 copies of Pride and Prejudice. After that, I was lucky enough to get a K********a invite which allowed me to torrent deep cuts by Olivier Assayas, and prized .mp4s of Cameron Jamie’s movies. Maybe I just didn’t like leaving the house but I don’t think that 2005 - 2015 were great years to be going to the theater anyway. When I moved back to Vancouver I didn’t know many people so my sister suggested I volunteer at The Cinematheque, and it’s become one of my favorite places in the city. It’s basically got a lot of the same programming as The Metrograph minus a lot of the annoying pretensions of arthouse theaters that are… annoying. The Cinematheque even went through a redesign and it looks even better than it did before which never happens. Volunteers get to see whatever for free so sometimes I find myself there 4 times a week. Some of the most memorable screenings include Maborosi, The White Sheik, Even Dwarves Started Small, Caught By Night, Gun Crazy, and Out Of The Blue.

going through my camera roll and found this film my friend developed when we both found a really cozy cafe in yongsan. went back there a year later and our letters were still hung up on the cafe’s wall too. i find myself missing the places , the people, and the food i’ve eaten for comfort when i used to live abroad. my nostalgia is feeling close to grief lately.

one of the prettiest game i’ve ever played! has an amazing soundtrack too. the theme of the game is a bit heavy but nonetheless very enjoyable and a cathartic game to play
