• Reel Brooklyn: Saturday Night Fever, Bay Ridge

  07-11-2016 19:48 via bkmag.com
  
  Reel Brooklyn is a biweekly column chronicling the definitive history of Brooklyn on-screen, one film—and neighborhood—at a time.
  Reporters have only just recently been able to visit Bay Ridge and write a story that didn’t lede with a reference to Tony Manero or disco. No movie has so defined a Brooklyn neighborhood in the popular imagination as this one, still a go-to reference even as it’s become an irrelevant time capsule: the hardware store in which John Travolta&rsq

  Leigh Stein remembers 2014 well. Sometime in the summer, she had joined a private Facebook group for women writers, and she was mesmerized. It didn’t matter that she was about to go on vacation in Budapest; she brought her laptop with her for the sole reason of keeping up with the group. “I felt like a teenager again, forming intimate alliances with women I’d never met, typing little messages of courage and hope and sympathy at all hours of the day and night,” she writes

• The 14 Best Brooklyn Bars for Watching Election Night Coverage (and Stress Drinking)

  If you feel as though this Election has driven you to the bottle, you’re not alone.

You might as well go live in the country, where life is a spa every day and honeybees bring you tiny silver spoonfuls of ho

  The big American studio pictures of Denis Villenueve have, so far, ridden the line between mass-market pulp and adult-movie seriousness. Prisoners and Sicario are both essentially procedurals with extra attention paid to lead characters’ roiling emotions—the grief and rage of a father (Hugh Jackman in the former) whose kid has disappeared, and the frustration of a law-enforcement officer (Emily Blunt in the latter) whose role in t
