Addictive near-future sci-fi noir with a political agenda. A great entry point before taking on more ambitious books in the KSR canon. Also, the audiobook version is legit.

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.

Get out and feel the speed, the wind in your hair, the pain in your lungs and quads and ass, the growing awareness that you are rapidly aging and soon will die, but you don’t care, you have a shirt with some kind of muscle car on it that says “I’m not old, I’m classic” and your wife rolls her eyes but she knows it’s true, you’re a goddamned legend. I recommend that.

This band of minor all-stars is tragically under-appreciated.
