i’ve been teaching myself to ride a bike and in the process i realized that i don’t do this often. learning new things gets harder as you age because everything becomes more rigid; but fuck it try something keep with it and learn a new skill.
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 went in with no expectations & very little knowledge (ideal). was very pleasantly surprised. smart, stupid, intriguing, and it understands me in and my tastes in an unexpected way. evening mirror so good.
it’s a streaming service that’s free with most library cards. so many art house films that you can access for free, many streaming nowhere else. get a library card, and watch an art house film.
