the group mind that forms within dark theaters is ideal for the consumption of moving images. perhaps even better is watching them with a group of friends. i recently saw Little Shop of Horrors for the first time with a gaggle of about eight, and it was an incredible time. a joy shared is a joy doubled. and don't watch movies on your small devices for GOD'S SAKE.

truly no greater joy than picking the movie you want to see at a time you want to see it, eating your own popcorn and settling into a dark cinema seat. It’s the best viewing experience to be off your phone, not thinking about anything but the image in front of you.

You can see action movies at home and you're fine. But to truly appreciate a movie with any nuance or subtlety, you must see it in a darkened, under-attended theater so you can hold your thoughts and keep your phone in your pocket and surrender yourself to the vision

seeing a movie on a huge screen (as most directors intended it to be seen) and just indulging in approximately 2 hours of pure uninterrupted escapism without anyone to worry about (plus supporting your local cinema at the same time). works best with "slow" films where the scenes linger. total bliss.

I forgive the summer for not living up to the hype, I forgive myself for not filling every second of my day with productive work, and I forgive the weather for being so god-awful for so many months. The weather is the only one who I know is going to make restoration.

showtime drama series that ended in 2014. metatextual romp about storytelling itself: the stories of imperialism, counter-culture, interpersonal, and our relationship with the stories we tell ourselves. queerness is central to the narrative in the deepest way—no mere set dressing. television writing at the highest level. what's not to love? (on netflix)

feel i'm severely late to the game but i can't shut up about this guy. i've never seen someone so thoroughly representative of what it is to be an Aquarius. i watched his Shapes special and some Fantasmas and it's all so prescient and divine and stupid. gonna see his new film Problemista later today.
