little misandry

I'm obsessed with the word misandry. I feel like I've known misogyny forever but since I got kind of sexist, now I know what to call it: misandry.

So, when I was in Buffalo I saw Tiny Furniture. I saw it at my favorite in the world movie theater, it's called the North Park, and it looks like this on the outside:
And then like this on the inside:
I just found out the other day that the rent on this place is still $250 per month, so that is pretty amazing. There's a nice ticketbooth inside where a little old man (like the one from Twin Peaks):
is always in there, he wears a suit and bowtie and he's very gentile or old world or whatever. So, the whole experience is pretty magical, I guess. I wish I could see every movie at the North Park.

Anyway, Tiny Furniture. Watching this movie made me really glad I didn't go to a small liberal arts college because although college was totally a bubble, it seems like that is a real bubble thing. Then again, maybe we all deserve some bubble time, outside of the 9 months of it we get at the beginning. It also made me really glad I never lived in Manhattan.

Good parts include: weird platonic relationships with people you might not like but vaguely want to sleep with (she makes a fellow youtube famous friend who sort of crashes in her bed but they never even makeout, i don't think, i did get up twice to pee), old friends who are out of place in the old/new life (she reconnects with a batshit rich british childhood friend who does lots of drugs and inappropriate things and she ends up ditching her Oberlin friend), old mom diaries (she finds her famous artist mom's diaries from when she first got out of college and it is awesome how she reads them!), hate love family (there's a lot of good family stuff, she has a sister and her mom and they're both really successful and she's drifting, it's great, her younger sister is an awardwinning poet at 17 and gives her sister plenty of crap for being useless, and the mom is just kind of there to sometimes say either really helpful or really insulting things).

It's nice that it's her real mom and sister playing her movie mom and sister. What do you think of her mom's photos?

Overall, I do think this chick sort of captured listless and directionlessness really well. It was entertaining and sometimes painful to watch. I love the tagline: Aura would like you to know that she is having a very, very hard time.

So I really liked it. I can't remember why it made me hate men. Maybe I'll remember later. I want more revengerina movies.
