Thursday Happenings
Kanyes
-- Kanye West will never be the best, or least hysterical, rapper in the world. But he's oddly endearing, and virtuosity is overrated anyway. With Rihanna and Lupe Fiasco. Tweeter Center, 885 South Main Street , Mansfield, 7:00pm. $30-$86.
Movies
-- An inspired double-feature looks at two New Yorks: the one where Marshall McLuhan resolves disputes in movie theater lines and the one where you have sex for money. Bostonist loves the scene in Annie Hall where Christopher Walken drives Woody Allen to the airport in the rain. The rest of the movie isn't half bad, either. Midnight Cowboy gave the world "Everybody's Talkin,'" and the rest of the movie is pretty decent. Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St., Cambridge. Tickets and more information.
Grand Openings
-- Bostonist already got a peek at the new, gargantuan Apple Store on Boylston Street. Now it's your chance. Grand opening tonight. Apple Store, 815 Boylston St., 6:00pm. Free.

Midnight Cowboy is "pretty decent"?! Aw, to each her and his own, but wow, I think that movie is just amazing, just devastating. Its style holds up across decades, its emotion is as high as any movie I've loved recently, and Dustin Hoffman is so, so good that I can almost be okay with the total shit he does now. Almost.
sorry, that should have been marked with the "understatement" tag.
