A lifelong fan of Avatar the last Airbender, I resisted the Legend of Korra for a long time. But after completing maybe my 300th rewatch of the original series, I was hungry for more and dove back into Korra.Wow was I blown away. Korra's story is almost more like real life than Aangs. It's not just one big bad bad guy you have to defeat, it's lots of medium sized bad guys. Some want world domination, some want to liberate the world through force, and Korra tackles them all bravely as well as the demons and fear within herself.

i don't live in england and i never have. but when i go to visit family i will find an excuse to be at an everyman it is maybe the fanciest cinema i've ever been to and the experience i had when i saw all of us strangers there fundamentally changed me
the only thing i don't rate is the 30 minutes of adverts

I haven't been in NYC for that long but I've found that the well for film in NYC is pretty deep and you can really find anything you are looking for on a given night. Obscure, Foreign, Indie, Cult Classic, whatever.
Screen Slate is a good resource to find whats playing where all around the city.
I would also suggest following a lot of the theaters on ig and they will have posts about showings that might pique your interest.
Spectacle and Film Noir are pretty cool screening rooms in BK that are pretty low key and DIY if you are looking for an interesting night out.
Finally, getting a membership to metrograph, ifc or film forum is a good option if you go to one of them and like it. Reduced prices go along way if you are going to a theater pretty frequently.

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

Written and directed by Annie Baker, Janet Planet has settled in my mind as the best movie I’ve seen this year. It’s sort of a slow burn, but it keeps burning in your heart months and months after you finish watching. It’s slow and highly visual, but doesn’t 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.

is like a Vaseline-ish product…my 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 “beauty” product advertising, but then I started getting really bad acne in my early 20’s, 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 “drink-ys” 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.
