Maybe not *the best* but it was certainly one of the more enjoyable movie theater experiences I’ve had. December 2019, went to a 6pm weekday showing on a whim after a friend called me to see if I could go. I knew next to nothing about the plot, didn’t realize the whole thing would be in black and white and screened in an almost-square aspect ratio, yet was enthralled for every second of it.
Turned out to be the last movie I saw in theaters pre-pandemic.
okay so it’s maybe not the Best Movie i’ve seen in theaters but it was the best theater experience i’ve had. i went with some friends and i was completely enthralled. it felt like i couldn’t hide or turn away. there’s a moment where the question “what’s your name?” hangs in the air and i nearly answered
This was the first time I went to the movies after the pandemic (even before cinema was never a priority because of the ticket price) and it made me fall in love with movies again.
I put it off bc I didn't wanna cry in front of strangers for 90 minutes but I'm so glad I did 😭 I'm so sure it was like the FINAL showing at my local cinema and I'm really, really glad I went <3
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
