About
There is one week a year when the boulevard that sells cheap souvenirs the other fifty-one becomes the center of the movie universe. Not figuratively. The films everyone will be arguing about in winter are screening a few feet from the handprints.
The actual pleasure is narrower than that: sitting in that enormous auditorium as the lights go down on a film nobody has decided about yet — before the critics fix its meaning, before the trophies tell you what it was. The year's most talked-about titles arrive here months ahead of wide release, in the same complex where the studios stage their own premieres. Around you: the obsessives, the awards-season trackers, and the students who moved to this city for exactly this.
A week in the fall at the TCL Chinese Theatres on Hollywood Boulevard.
Send it to the friend whose Letterboxd reviews you actually read all the way through.

You found your people.
They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
