Valentine’s Day is around the corner, and whether you’re cuffed, alone, or counter–celebrating with Galentine’s Day, Street has compiled a list of movies showing on the 14th, pertaining to your specific V–Day needs.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we all know that the letter, not the gift, is the hardest part. To buy or make a gift—that requires shelling out some cash (plus a little thought). And yes, feeling the emptiness of the wallet hurts. But the letter is the part where feelings and emotions are verbalized and articulated. A lot of times, they can’t be. There’s something so inexpressible about love that words are many times not enough.

This week, Netflix is coming out with a documentary about longtime women’s rights attorney and Penn alum Gloria Allred.

The Pennsylvania Players is Penn’s only student-run, professionally directed theater group. Founded in 1936, it is also the oldest performing arts group on Penn’s campus. Penn Players produces one play and one musical each academic year. Most recently, the group staged an adaptation of the musical Spring Awakening. 34th Street spoke with Board Chair Alicia Lu and Vice Chair Sarah Gold about preparations for their upcoming production, Sylvia, which is the lighthearted story of an aging couple whose lives are fundamentally altered after taking in a stray dog. The show will take place in The Bruce Montgomery Theater on April 5th, 6th, and 7th, 2018.

“At first, women were reluctant to talk. They were a little shy. But once you got them going, you couldn’t stop them. Women secretly love to talk about their vaginas, mainly because no one has asked them before.”

Like the rest of the world, Penn students have many different ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Some go on nice dates or reflect on lost love, while others argue about whether the whole holiday is an example of consumerism run amuck.

While it might be painful to hear that Justin Timberlake has seen better days, there’s something to be said for the fact that the most memorable part of the Super Bowl halftime show was Ryan McKenna, the “selfie kid.” For Justin, the halftime performance was a story of redemption. Like the Eagles, he was an underdog. The Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction at his last performance (over 14 years ago) was long gone, but never forgotten. At the half, he performed to give fans something new to talk about, but we’re not so sure the post–performance gossip is what he was aiming for.

I love that wistful light we get in our eyes at the start of the new year. Something about a fresh January gives us the undue confidence to walk around like the whole world is up for the taking; and with the help of eighty–three new resolutions, we just might take it all. Then, a month and a half later, we throw all reason to wind, and go from making unreasonable demands of ourselves to making them of the people who love us. Logically, these perennial rituals never pan out as well as in the movies. But don’t swipe left just yet, because this Street re–watched every classic tear–jerking scene to see why you keep blowing it! Here are some valuable lessons on how to avoid a V–Day faux pas this week, as gleaned from our favorite, classic romance flicks.

February 14 is not only Valentine’s Day, but also the very heart of midterm season. As our minds are busy concocting ways to fit as much information as possible into a cheat sheet, it might be hard—and time–consuming—to come up with romantic plans. I think we all agree that movie theaters are the go–to option for uninspired dates, and watching Netflix with your Valentine is, honestly, just sad. If, however, you still want to incorporate films into your tryst, here are five quicker but equally charming options:

It’s easy to listen to Amy Winehouse and get lost in her voice. Few artists have a sound that somehow rings with both ugly affect and enviable ease. Her lyrics are raw and simple, her stories are relatable, and her early death haunts her songs with a sadness that makes pressing pause an impossibility.

Art is a difficult thing, as is computer science. The former is subjective, open to interpretation so much so that there’s never a right way to do something. The latter is rigid: set a goal. Code it. (Or at least that’s what I understand of computer science). But cross the two (or art with anything preprofessional really) and the mission is almost impossible. That’s what the Digital Media Design major is all about.

With Valentine’s Day comes a new crop of romantic blockbusters like Fifty Shades Freed, but these films, featuring starry–eyed actors in perfect, straight relationships leave little space for anyone who’s not the Hollywood–styled picture of romance. Mainstream media is infamously bad at including LGBTQ characters, but when it comes to romantic relationships, there are even fewer options. Hollywood’s insistence on cisgender, straight couples as romantic leads begs the question: what about the rest of us?

Few moments in television are bigger than the Super Bowl. Even though this year’s ratings were a slight dip from last year, an estimated 103 million tuned in to watch the Eagles beat the Patriots. Networks tried to capitalize on this boost—NBC’s This Is Us Super Bowl special aired after the game. But the competition for viewers was higher this year. Netflix aired an ad for The Cloverfield Paradox during the Super Bowl—and then announced it would be available for streaming as soon as the game ended.

Before Anderson .Paak was the Cheeky Andy that he is today, he went by the name Breezy Lovejoy. While this old stage name has a jubilant sound to it, the music he produced didn’t. The songs he created as Breezy definitely have the same vibe as the songs on his current albums Venice and Malibu, but they have a more melancholy undertone than the funkier tracks he has out now.

We've all been there before. You wake up feeling like today's gonna be a great day, but reality comes in and gives you a curveball. It could be a rough exam, a breakup, or a bad day at the gym. It could even be something small, like getting cold called in lecture when you have no clue what's going on. Whatever the cause, there are lots of reasons why your confidence might need a little pick–me–up. If you're looking for some uplifting hip–hop full of self–confidence, Street's got you covered. Just remember The World Is Yours, and sometimes you just gotta make sure to Keep Ya Head Up.

Every day we walk past it, barely affording it a glimpse while every tourist flocks to it so as to sneak a peek at the marvel. It’s a prime landmark on campus—the LOVE statue. Right in the center of campus, surrounded by ivy–covered red brick buildings, the LOVE statue has as its backdrop a picturesque scene. Spring or winter, the tree–lined walk is always blanketed in either green or white. But the LOVE statue is so much more than another monument only tourists appreciate.

You’re not crazy if you hear Daniel Caesar’s “Best Part” and feel a sudden urge to fall in love. While some songs stimulate greater feelings than others, the scientific tie between music and emotions, such as love, is very real. Hearing music produces a litany of internal neurological processes, unlocking various emotional experiences.

We've all heard it before: it's not cool to like pop music. Let's take a look at the Spotify USA Top 50 as of now (because in my opinion, this is a much more accurate representation of what people are listening to than the Billboard or iTunes charts): the top 15 songs are all rap or hip–hop, with one quasi–pop track thrown in at #6 ("Mine" by Bazzi), which will likely soon be driven out by the juggernaut of a record that is Black Panther: The Album. The first true pop song clocks in at #22, "Never Be the Same" by Camila Cabello.

At Penn, a kiss these days too often means a sloppy DFMO in the basement of a frat house. It’s no wonder that so many people complain about finding love at Penn. But, of course, Penn is not to be seen a microcosm of society. A kiss in Italy is a friendly greeting. A kiss in China, a public declaration of love. Across cultures and time, the kiss has come to mean so many different things. Particularly in art history, the meaning of a kiss has been molded again and again, but the beauty of it never unwavering. To refresh your romantic side for this Valentine’s Day, here are some of art history’s famous kisses.
