I am trying to see the Brutalist in IMAX and looking at seats for a 10:15am showing on Sunday. It looks like I’ll be joined by 4 fellow movie nerds and 2 completists who have anxieties about fires in theaters.

Trying a Vietnamese spot near us called Golden Banh Mi and it’s quite good! This is a “Pho-Rench Dip”, which is like a French dip fusion sandwich. It absolutely slaps.
