maybe it’s elitist and privileged to not support mass produced art and that art takes time and artists deserve compensation and cheap or affordable art isn’t always available okay I get it.
BUT!!! there are also so many artists that are new and upcoming that can probably sell affordable art as they make their way into selling higher priced items.
so can we avoid mass produced art and buy from budding artists that aren’t crazy expensive?
if so, how do we find them?? (The example provided is a Russian art collection my aunt bought in the 80s that, unfortunately, never sold well).

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

let me break it down…
Anthology 10 dollars a lot of lesser known avant garde films mixed in with art/foreign films. most things are also projected on film. really good place if your looking for something different.
Moma is like 10 dollars too but if you’re a student you can get a free entry ticket which allows for a free movie ticket you just have to ask the desk. Moma has alot of stuff on film also and is always putting up classics And retrospectives on filmmakers
Momi is also 10 and has a ton of cool 35mm more mainstream films always playing such as kubrick or Micheal mann.museum’s section is also cute especially if you like the muppets.
Lincon center is a good place to go see indies/foreign movies that have come out recently also around 10 dollars also do some retrospectives remasters and 35mm screenings
Spectacle is a community run Brooklyn theater that is one room and plays obscure cinema very fun place to go out to with friends and see something different.
Roxy has some good 35mm screenings good date place to take someone.very comfy inside this fancy hotel downside is little more expensive but overall one of the better theater experiences in New York. Warning hipster central however 😭

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isn’t exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and it’s even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

i was 26 and in a really rough spot in my life, very much rock bottom. So I prayed for some kind of sign or way out, and I started getting all these signs for Nashville. And I’m not a superstitious person, but the “signs” were impossible to not notice. Like, I told a friend about it and she said “I was just about to call you and ask if you want to come to nashville for some meetings this week, I felt like I should bring you.” Anyways thru that connection, i got a job at a nonprofit here.
But here’s the advice: my life SUCKED my first year here. My roommate was awful, I was anxious and I actually missed home. I didn’t know anybody in Nashville why had I done this?
But I stuck around and got thru it and now I’m at so much peace. So I guess, moving isn’t even the hard part sometimes. It’s staying. But I think one year can tell you if I the worth it to stay or find someplace else. But ya just gotta do it.
