LA Weekly‘s Amy Nicholson pleads that all you hipsters stop laughing at old movies:
Holden Caulfield, the original hipster, was a jerk at the movies. He hated them. He thought actors were phonies, screenwriters were prostitutes, and audiences who sniffled during weepies were “mean bastards at heart.”
Holden wasn’t a sucker. He was something worse: a laugher—the kind of disengaged cretin who’d snicker through the rest of the theater’s tears. As Holden admits, “I mean if I ever sat behind myself in a movie or something, I’d probably lean over and tell myself to please shut up.”

Fandor‘s Calum Marsh on the eternal charm of the screwball comedy:
Three years ago, on New Year’s Eve, my (then) fiancé and I—we just married this spring—intended to join friends for drinks but could not. We had taken ill, at least enough to make the prospect of riding a subway uptown and back among the usual throng of revellers unappealing, and so we decided some time in the early evening to forgo the festivities and instead spend the night alone together with our orange tabby and a bottle of inexpensive sparkling wine in front of the TV. I connected my laptop to the television and together my fiance and I sifted through the hundreds of movies I had stored away on my harddrive, eager for something fizzy and undemanding. I clicked into one of the little manilla folders and said, Oh: The Thin Man. We’d never seen it. Yes, my fiance agreed, let’s watch that one—and in that moment, as they say, a tradition was born. We’ve watched The Thin Man on each New Year’s Eve since.
