When I was 13 the only things that I can remember being particularly fond of were baseball and the Lonely Island - watching the Royal Tenenbaums on TV one night was (at risk of seeming trite) 'life changing' for even just the fact that my adolescent baseball career was on the decline and I needed something new to invest my time in. The montage of Gene Hackman playing with his Adidas tracksuited grandsons set to 'Me & Julio Down By the Schoolyard' indoctrinated me into a life of whimsy, for better or worse.

If you like going to the movies and have a selection of AMCs near you it’s an unbelievably good deal. Even at my most destitute I have refused to cancel this membership because it’s basically a free activity anytime and a fun little date with myself. 3 movies a week for $25/month??? I will never shut up about this.

If you go to the movies regularly this deal cannot be ignored. Not only can you see all the good movies, you can see the bad ones with no regrets

Leaves you feeling a bit sillier about your laments.

"One of the most common and saddest spectacles is that of a person of really fine sensibility and acute psychological perception trying to write fiction by these qualities alone. This type of writer will put down one intensely emotional or keenly perceptive sentence after the other, and the result will be complete dullness. The facts is that the materials of the fiction writer are the humblest. Fiction is about everything human and we are made out of dust, and if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn't try to write fiction. It's not a grand enough job for you."
