being curious is in and being nonchalant is out (also I’ve been reading essays on challengers for weeks now and it’s only made the movie that much more interesting).

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.

there's nothing better for our current short and shorter attention spans than a good (very) long movie. yesterday I watched milos forman's Amadeus (1984) for the first time and truly cannot believe it took me this long. A spectacle from start to finish - which made the 3 hours absolutely fly by. maybe I'll upgrade to sergey bondarchuk's War and Peace next.

is All Things Must Pass the best thing an ex beatle has done? Unquestionably so, yes. However, when it comes to Paul McCartney's solo albums, one can never be done discovering, mostly because the guy just did SO much stuff, some of it strange, and a lot of it works. for example, Temporary Secretary is a weird funky little track that I simply cannot get out of my head. and Wing's Wild Life is kind of a masterpiece, really. definitely worth a deep dive.
