The Return of Communal Emotion

Health Information Lifestyle


Welcome. At a 7:15 p.m. screening of “Zola” at a Brooklyn movie theater on Sunday, there was at least one empty seat between each party. Masks were worn in the cinema’s lobby but quickly dispensed with once people had taken their seats. Otherwise, things were — and it’s hard to say this without ironic quotation marks — normal.

The part of normal that felt the most exceptional? Laughing with strangers. You could hear the laughter start with one person, others steadily joining in, almost as if given permission by their neighbors to let it out. I missed that communal, nearly collaborative, emotion. It’s convenient and comfortable to stream movies at home, but you’ll never get the experience of 100 people laughing or gasping or sitting together until the end of the credits.

I’d like to watch the new season of “I Think You Should Leave” in a group. James Poniewozik calls it “blisteringly funny” and the first season certainly was. Get some friends together if you feel comfortable doing so and stream it on Netflix.

Speaking of hotly anticipated shows, the trailer for the third season of “Succession” dropped yesterday. The show is returning to HBO in the fall.

Take five minutes and fall in love with symphonies selected by the actor Alec Baldwin, the composer Angélica Negrón and others. Dorie Greenspan will make you fall in love with oeuf mayo, a simple dish so beloved in France that there’s a society to protect it. And Tina Jordan fell for some new thrillers; check them out for yourself.

  • This fascinating episode of the podcast “99% Invisible” traces the history of the song “Who Let the Dogs Out”: “It tells us something about inspiration, and how creativity spreads, and about whether an idea can ever really belong to just one person.” Have a listen.

If you’ve been getting out more, what specific things, like laughing with strangers in a movie theater, have you been surprised to discover that you missed? Maybe it’s smiling at passers-by without a mask, or seeing a once-desolate playground filled with people. Tell us about it: athome@nytimes.com.
