sometimes i think about

if we were together
what kind of stuff would we do
and
i think some things are very
like almost a given
but then
there's a whole lot of extra time
and so
every once in a while
i see something
and i think
WE would enjoy that
and
this is one of those things

i think we would enjoy

film subscription box

now

not that i'm saying we couldn't pick out our own movies

sure, we absolutely could

but

this curation seems well done

and, in this example at least

although i've heard of these films

i've never actually seen them

also

when i was younger

the river oaks theater wasn't a regular movie house

instead it showed double features

which were curated to have some common theme

and i love love loved it

i don't remember when it changed

i know, by the time i was in college it was

like an art movie house

i saw blue velvet there

i saw the unbelievable truth

fool for love

other stuff too

but those were the first three things that came to mind

but i also saw

romeo and juliet

gone with the wind

the seven percent solution

and

so much other stuff

that was just the first three that popped into my head

now

i rarely go to the movies

and there is no classic movie house here

although the museum does show some

and i think rice still shows some

but

i don't go out much

when i leave work

i tend to go home to my cave

rather than out where there are people

i avoid the people

and the traffic

i hate traffic

but

this would come to our door every two months

like an unexpected surprise date

or rather

i guess

expected

but

not scheduled

a double feature of some theme

classic films

it watch

and discuss

and work through the landscape of creative thought

these don't seem like very happy movies

and

i'm not trying to make any sort of statement of theme

like

i'm not depressed

or unhappy with you or anything

but

look how the time they were made

is captured so perfectly

in just these little clips

doesn't that make you want

to see more of them

or maybe you've seen these movies

maybe

maybe you'd rather watch

like

a jim jarmusch film festival

i'm totally down for that too

i could talk about dead man for hours, probably

and

i've never yet seen the vampire one
