The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

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 read a one star review of wicked on the letterboxd app on my iPhone that changed my life a little bit. I’ve been taken aback by the ferocity with which I’ve been hating things recently. I feel frustration and anger seeing an advertisement. I am a graphic design major who up to a recent point was content and expecting to follow the pipeline towards creative advertising. I have not yet accepted that We Live In A Society. I am unsure whether this is something everyone must learn, whether it’s something important I’ve missed, or whether I have spent so much time online being a contrarian that it is now just a facet of my personality. I think Chappell Roan is a poser hack. I like to harp about celebrities that I don’t know or enjoy seeing. I think Chappell Roan is a poser hack! I think she’s playing the gay community, not in a malicious way, but in the way where Chappell Roan as a character was not created by the girl who plays her, it was created by her wide team of incredibly talented and interesting artists and a Pinterest mood board, and we are lifting the girl who plays her up to mythical status. She is a fledgeling star who has been taken in by artists, who will hopefully show her to research and reference. She is a fabulous singer, but I don’t see her as an artist. The one-star Wicked review made one Large and Good point. The author, who I will have to go back and find as I accidentally cropped his name out of the screenshot, says, “I tend to feel that a piece of entertainment is only worth hating if it actively makes the world a shittier place and/or represents evil of some kind that can’t afford to go unchecked, and as much as I hated sitting through Wicked, at the end of the day there’s no part of me that thinks this film meets that criteria... If I can reverse-engineer a rationale from my reflexive decision not to review it, I think it’s because I feel like we need to be more pointed and emphatic about the things we hate, not less.“ Yeah, yeah, okay. I won’t try to justify my disdain for Chappell Roan with these guidelines. If I was reaching, I’d say she represents the degradation of authenticity. What the fuck do any of us know about authenticity? I changed my mind because of a Letterboxd review. I went into the theater expecting to hate Wicked as much as Twitter hated it. Every day I think about a meme I saw on my Instagram explore page. Nothing of me is original! I don’t know what this means. I‘ll have more to say later I think.

i know I’m so late to this show… but I do think it’s the best piece of television I have watched in a few years I think about it all the time
