a man buys "one of those pale things drifting in alcohol plasma" in a jar from a sideshow. he and his neighbors look at it and wonder what's inside. weird, whimsical, sad. kind of a story about stories, belief, and coping with life.
I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre β 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 β come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!
Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isnβt 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 itβs 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.
1. helps me relax + clear my head + forget about work way more than going on my phone (plus i go on my phone secretly all day anyway so it's not even a treat to do it at lunch)
2. i've burned through a ton of books by reading just 15-30 minutes per day. i recommend this very much if you find it hard to "find time" to read
when i click on a rec/ask to read the replies, when i'm done reading and hit back i wish it took me back to where the post was in the feed when i clicked instead of back to the top of the page. does that make sense?
