during the pandemic i decided that only watching films in your house was depressing and i would never be that person. i started going to the movie theatre at least once per week and i now believe it is an important element of living chic-ly. i am now swimming in SCENE points (only canadians will understand that), a member of multiple film societies, and blithely unaware of anything on netflix.

Iāve been doing this all year:
- Gets you out of the house and off the couch
- See things BIG, let the light and sound of cinema wash over you and get lost in it
- Discover all kinds of classic films, restorations, curated series youāve never heard of
- Great excuse to meet up with friends and talk about movies afterwards but get comfortable seeing and enjoying things solo!
Sharing an onscreen narrative with strangers and then parting ways feels like a fundamental part of city living.

I started doing this in October and it changed my life. I experience a total reset of my mind and mood - especially when the movie is really good. Though I love going with friends, thereās something therapeutic about enjoying good cinema. I try to allow myself this luxury once a month

i get why people only think of movies as a social event, but seeing a movie in a theater alone is the most freeing and therapeutic thing that i do in my day to day life.
gone are the moments of trying to pick something that you think a group of people would like. gone is the anxiety of always thinking about what your friend is thinking of the movie as itās going on. itās just you and the movie. i love it

i want to know how you felt watching anatomy of a fall after a breakup or what it was like to take your niece to the paw patrol movie in your depressing hometown movie theatre or that you were inspired to watch cleopatra jones after reading rupaulās new memoir. i donāt really want to know why you gave dune 2 4.5 stars nor am i interested in your quippy one-liner about the zone of interest (i hate all letterboxd reviews that are try-hard, quippy one liners, but I really hated those!)

being properly outdoorsy is a big time/lifestyle commitment and being completely alienated from nature is undignified (and probably bad for your health). knowing a bit more about your environs than the average joe and being moderately well-versed in āreading natureās signsā is a good and reasonable goal.
