Written and directed by Annie Baker, Janet Planet has settled in my mind as the best movie Iâve seen this year. Itâs sort of a slow burn, but it keeps burning in your heart months and months after you finish watching. Itâs slow and highly visual, but doesnât feel tone poem-y at all. The performances are extraordinary. And the way that Annie uses the camera to convey emotion is like a master class. You never feel the director, only the story. But if you analyze the film later, you realize how gracefully you were guided through.

If youâre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donât! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itâs worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

let me break it downâŠ
Anthology 10 dollars a lot of lesser known avant garde films mixed in with art/foreign films. most things are also projected on film. really good place if your looking for something different.
Moma is like 10 dollars too but if youâre a student you can get a free entry ticket which allows for a free movie ticket you just have to ask the desk. Moma has alot of stuff on film also and is always putting up classics And retrospectives on filmmakers
Momi is also 10 and has a ton of cool 35mm more mainstream films always playing such as kubrick or Micheal mann.museumâs section is also cute especially if you like the muppets.
Lincon center is a good place to go see indies/foreign movies that have come out recently also around 10 dollars also do some retrospectives remasters and 35mm screenings
Spectacle is a community run Brooklyn theater that is one room and plays obscure cinema very fun place to go out to with friends and see something different.
Roxy has some good 35mm screenings good date place to take someone.very comfy inside this fancy hotel downside is little more expensive but overall one of the better theater experiences in New York. Warning hipster central however đ

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isnât 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 itâs 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.

is like a Vaseline-ish productâŠmy understanding is it's like French Vaseline. Sometimes I get dry skin above my eyelids and around the corners of my mouth, and it helps a lot and doesn't do any damage like cortisone cream which can weaken the skin if overused. My brain used to be so susceptible to expensive âbeautyâ product advertising, but then I started getting really bad acne in my early 20âs, so now I see a dermatologist and use some medicated skin care, which helps so much and outside of that I love finding pharmacy or grocery store solutions to my skin issues. Like the aforementioned Homeoplasmine, coconut oil as body lotion, and icing my under eyes in the morning. This is all really obvious stuff, so I'm putting it under the umbrella of Homeoplasmine. (I do, however, still buy pretty lux moisturizers because the meds dry my skin out soooooo much.)

Honestly, I may have replaced my love of random creams and serums with my love of what i call âdrink-ysâ Which here means: non-alcoholic flavored sodas. I do love all the crazy LA ones that have, like, mushroom adaptogens and promise to improve your mood. Though, thus far, nothing improves my mood like a lime yuzu Fever Tree poured over ice. Totally satisfies a craving for a cocktail or a dessert.

People will tell you to eat spinach or kale, but arugula is even better for the skin and I kind of like the spicy flavor with the little mango pineapple lime juice and a half a banana⊠So goodâŠalso, if you want to, sometimes I add some frozen wild blueberries and a splash of olive oil. I donât recommend a protein powder in this unless it's flavorless.
