well for sure I am going to look at THAT

I want to urge anyone interested in FRANKENSTEIN to see it at a theater where the big screen will let you bask in the visuals. And do it soon after the movie opens (Oct. 17) because I don't think Netflix plans a long stay in cinemas.

I've seen nature films of wolves (which are enormous! as a kid reading fairy tales I had no idea) chasing down field rodents!

Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking of! Aren't a lot of terriers bred over centuries to go after rats?

My heart goes out to you, this is terrible. Please forgive the unasked-for suggestion, but — The Manhattan ACC is overflowing with cats that need homes? I am *terrified* of all rodents, but when we have a cat I never see them. I'm told certain breeds of dogs have the same effect?

C'est moi, c'est moi, I'm forced to admit ...

As a romantic (in life) and a Romantic (in college studies) I loved Del Toro's Frankenstein—the sweep, the beauty and the headlong emotion of it. Its visual and thematic echoes range from Burke & Hare to Ingres to Hammer, but it's no pastiche—it's a vividly individual film.

I Saw ‘One Battle After Another’ Six Times in Six Formats in Six Days We compare Paul Thomas Anderson's latest masterpiece in VistaVision, 70mm IMAX, digital IMAX, regular 70mm, DCP and 4DX to see which is best.

“I found ‘One Battle After Another’ in 4DX to be slightly more suspenseful and slightly less funny than the other versions — when Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio) jumps out of a moving car ‘like Tom Cruise,’ it’s scarier in 4DX because the audience’s own chairs threaten to catapult them through the air.”

I can think of one left in Chelsea and there may be a few others, but otherwise yeah, it's Walgreen wall-to-wall

We are looking at a black and white photo showing a long room partitioned on one side with timber framed walls. There is a set of stairs through a doorway. The room has a series of windows and a set of three windows at one end. The floor is made up of cobble stones and is uneven .

With spooky season just around the corner we thought we'd share again this atmospheric and unique photo of the Undercroft.

This is possibly the only known photo showing the space partitioned, and looking as it would have done when it was an almshouse.

One of those crime sagas that tells you so much about this city, that era, and what money/status got you (or could get you out of) then and now.

Ah no, Duane Reade is no more ... a TD Bank perhaps.

i want to remind people that the free press does not publish "journalism" in the way that someone who works in an actual newsroom would understand it

Several of these answers belong in The Louvre of Bluesky.

All the best memories of Limelight are woozy and vague, I think.

Oh WOW!

Oh, I don't know, the joint was jumpin' in the 90s too. Did you read about the Club Kids Murder?

Limelight and the Cat Club were my two favorites. You could go with friends and just dance, you didn't have to be glam or whatever, although if you were it was a different kind of place.

Exclusive | The church that housed NYC’s infamous Limelight club stands vacant — and both for sale and rent Huge for-sale and for-lease signs have appeared outside an infamous Manhattan church that was once the party place for club kids — and now stands vacant.

Say what you will about the NY Post, this is the kind of "Hey Kids, Lemme Tell You About 80s New York" story that they live to cover. nypost.com/2025/08/08/r...

The club itself is long, long gone, but I do hope nothing happens to the building, which has always been beautiful.

As they say, IYKYK. That sign hit me in the solar plexus.

The deconsecrated church that once housed a club called Limelight.
