Grab a couple friends, watch (once per week, together or separately) classics/canonicals you otherwise would never have gotten around to, discuss irl or on Zoom. Feel free to hate, but also feel free to love
There is literally no other way to get yourself to watch Jeanne Dielman, but boy-oh-boy you’ll be happy you did
or maybe Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
I saw hella movies in theaters last year on the AMC stubs membership but it was CGI monkeys carrying heavy emotions ftw
Film Forum is the OG but Metrograph is younger and hungrier, with a more diverse slate of films and an emphasis on rediscovered or neglected classics. Great atmosphere too, with a restaurant and bookstore. you can’t go wrong!
“Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism – it's my least favorite quality, and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen.”
dealing with disappointment but remembered this and realised it might not work out the way i planned out but that's okay. made it my lockscreen to remember it.
also context - NBC was really fucking him over here. it was his last tonight show episode I think, so it means a lot that he specifically was like cynicism leads nowhere.
Great film directed by Gurinder Chadha.
About a British Indian girl who joins a women's football team which her parents don't approve of.
This film made waves for British Asian representation.
It does a great job of balancing social commentary with comedy.
i feel like its a great way to stimulate your mind after just kinda consuming so much content. i think its best to get a sudoku book, rather than doing it online - to reduce screen time. you can do it anywhere as well.
also i so get you, im gonna be home in less than 10 days and i don't think i can handle what that is gonna be like. i have a deadline to work on so i'll be doing something, but man its gonna be so weird.
