while i do enjoy watching a movie with a friend i realized that i had all my best experiences in the movie theater while going alone. when i’m by myself i have all the time in the world to think about the movie after it’s finished and let it really sit with me.

I saw the Nosferatu by myself in a historic movie theater a block away from my house 9PM on a Thursday night. There were only like 4 other people there, it was a glorious experience

solo movie trips is how i got more comfortable being alone with myself and then developed into dinner dates and alone time in local parks too :0)

A lot of the time I find it’s easier to go solo cause I have more time to process my own thoughts, im less likely to be annoyed during the movie, and no one’s gonna bitch to me if they didn’t like it afterwards.

eatgraeps I dragged my family to go see asteroid city when it came out cause I adored it, unfortunately they didn’t share the same enthusiasm and that shit backfired on me.

it’s also fun to sit in the last row and watch how the rest of the room reacts

i get why people only think of movies as a social event, but seeing a movie in a theater alone is the most freeing and therapeutic thing that i do in my day to day life. gone are the moments of trying to pick something that you think a group of people would like. gone is the anxiety of always thinking about what your friend is thinking of the movie as it’s going on. it’s just you and the movie. i love it

i find it to be a very zen experience. sure, going with friends is fun too, but being able to completely immerse yourself in a film without thinking about the people you’re with is just life changing. for me anyway. this rule does not apply to horror movies. too much of a scaredy cat for that.

i’m currently getting a masters degree and the amount of people that use chat gpt instead of actually searching for answers in the literature is staggering. mama let’s research it’s literally what you’re supposed to do in academia
Actually I have another hater take. Sorry but I do judge you if you use this (or any other AI chat bot because apparently there are others?) and treat it as a source of truth.....very strange behavior. I thought we all thought it was dumb but I now hear people reference it's use in common conversation/at work as if it's not weird? Why are you all feeding the beast? Can we please use our brains? Use it or lose it, baby!

it’s a biographical essay collection about her life in los angeles in the 60s and early 70s. eve is super witty and her writing has a kind of addictive quality, it feels like you’re catching up with a friend that has been through the craziest experiences. i also adore the ambience of l.a. around this period and the descriptions of the city are so atmospheric that it makes you feel nostalgic for a time you weren’t even born. all around it’s a really fun book!

Don’t leave your nice clothes and shoes or expensive make up gathering dust in your wardrobe because they’re “too nice” to wear on regular, everyday occasions. Life is mostly made of regular occasions, wear that nice dress and expensive perfume to go to the movie theater on a sunday afternoon
