I saw The Princess Bride with my whole family in a packed theater when I was a bit older than the character Fred Savage plays and was concerned that a movie about princesses might not be my cup of tea. I've never been happier to be wrong in my life.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Something Douglass Coupland said in an interview that stuck with me was when he said that the “future” is relatively new. And it is. The afterlife isn’t the future, he argues, it’s eternity. Eternity, once attained, is permanent, timeless, at least in a spiritual sense. Heaven, Nirvana, etc… (1/?)

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
