Amc a-list membership

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.

The River Oaks Theater in Houston

Caught Vertigo there recently; one of the most enchanting films ever made, incredible experience.

Metrograph

Film Forum is the OG but Metrograph is younger and hungrier, with a more diverse slate of films and an emphasis on rediscovered or neglected classics. Great atmosphere too, with a restaurant and bookstore. you can’t go wrong!

Look at your fave artists earliest work

Or better yet their sketchbooks if they’re available to the public. The early days tell better, accurate stories that include being shite for a time. Take this photobook from William Eggleston, it looks like someone’s A-level photography portfolio and yet this man became an ICON. Genius is a load of bs. Your faves practiced everyday.  Side note: go to your fave artists cv, scroll down to the first major thing and research.

Preventing lost media

I’ve had this youtube playlist for ages that I call my “internet archive” and it’s full of videos that I find interesting but also feel are culturally significant. They’re mostly live performances with a mix of odd ball clips that I liked but also really special stuff I think won‘t be there forever. Here is a list of my favourites 1. Camcorder footage of two guys driving around london in the late 90s while listening to the radio 2. RuPaul before he was the Queen of Drag, hanging round a corner shop in New York 3. A documentary filmmaker documenting various African American accents and dialects across the states. 4. A short doc called “Dirty Girls” about a group of teenager grunge girlies who are reacting to the news of Kurt Cobain’s death and discussing how they all stopped washing their hair to honour him hence the title. 5. Marsha P Johnson reading her poem “You gotta have soul” Anyway, this is me recommending to you to begin saving videos that intrigue you because contrary to popular belief the internet isn’t actually forever.

A good case for clearing your camera roll every 6 months during your healing era

You won’t see photos of all the cast members that got the cut. Side note: imagining your life as a tv series is a great coping mechanism.
