Going to the nearest local movie theater wasn't appealing. So I headed to Brooklyn instead. Got a quick glimpse of the place while I was at it. The theater building itself is awesome. Been standing since 1908.

A movie ticket costs $15 (give or take the standard price). But that's just to get in. After that, it's first come, first served seating. If the showing's popular, there definitely won't be enough good seats for everyone.

I watched Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." My impressions kept shifting while watching—from "what am I even doing here" to "actually, this is really well done." But it didn't quite hit that "amazing, absolutely amazing" level. The soundtrack though? Perfectly curated, as always.

And before you watch, you really should read up on what actually happened back then (check out here). Without that background, you'll be completely lost watching the screen. But here in the States, this story is pretty well-known—people don't have questions about it. And it's not a spoiler at all, just getting some context.
