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.
if you can’t think of something to gift someone that they may want/use, then you’re better off not giving them anything. no one wants more junk as a gift. flowers are also always nice cuz when they’re not nice anymore you can toss it and not feel guilt.
i’ll never go to the cloisters in nyc again. the isg museum is just a fancy lady's house that lived by herself and invited a bunch of artist friends over all the time. it was also robbed of some Rembrandt's in the 90s and the empty frames are still there to see. now that’s what I call culture, thanks lady!
