Plush toys. Just bought a Spyro one and I’m waiting for production to start on the Apollo ones (if you’re wondering, yeah, the one of the iOS app’s mascot)
I like exploring old buildings like churches and hotels. I feel like architecture has been optimized so much to fire codes that most modern buildings have pretty boring layouts. But older buildings are completely batshit in their designs sometimes. Like woah there’s a second little staircase down here that goes to a single room not accessible by anywhere else, or just random little hallways to nowhere. Also secret little closets everywhere, it’s way more fun.
Stone paths. I was hiking in a large state park recently and came on a stretch of path that a seriously skilled stonemason built. It was beautiful. I stood there for ten minutes looking at how perfectly they matched the stones together.
Letterboxd, small indie theaters, several universities near me have indie film series open to the public.
Film festivals. We’ll plan date nights or weekend trips around indie film festivals within a few hours drive. Once you start going to those, you start meeting people and getting on mailing lists and before you know it you will want fewer recommendations.
My wife is a fan of both the musical and the film, and apparently they’re almost so totally different that the music is one of the few things they have in common.
