REALLY enjoyed seeing "Jaws" again on a big screen for its 50th (!!!!) anniversary re-release this weekend. Picked the closest theater to my apt — Village East by Angelika on 2nd Avenue. Saw an afternoon screening, and the crowd was into it. Not a wasted moment in the film 🦈

Went to 'Desperately Seeking Susan' (Rosanna Arquette, Madonna, Aidan Quinn) at Metrograph on the Lower East Side on Monday night. (The 40th anniversary?!) Have seen it before, but it's always a blast to experience it in a full auditorium. People were really into it. The film holds up well.

Last night, Austin Butler, his 'Caught Stealing' co-star Zoë Kravitz & director Darren Aronofsky stopped by the Double Down in the East Village to celebrate the actor's bday. The cake was a lifelike version of Tonic the cat, the feline who plays Bud in the film, out 8/29. 📷 @staciejoy.bsky.social
