“I remember in the ’80s, ’90s, 2000s, you’d have five #films opening on the weekend, and #people [went] to the movie #theaters,” — Tom Cruise

It’s 2026. Another reminder the #USA is a fallen state.

A fading film star reminiscing when the USA entertainment industry made original films that people wanted to watch, instead of another toddler #Marvel film.

New York City’s East Side Will Lose Yet Another Movie Theater with Imminent Closure of AMC Kips Bay

The surprise of my year is that I'm only mildly interested in seeing #TheOdyssey and #SpiderManBrandNewDay in #theaters, but I'm very interested in going to see #CoyoteVsACME and a #movie about an orange #unicorn, #ItsBuddy!

Once I saw the first #trailer for CvA, I was interested.

Yesterday, YouTube popped an odd video into my recommended feed, and it was spot-on, for a change.

#ItsBuddy!

Watch all of the videos and shorts.

My biggest grip about these new MCU movies is simple:

Too much characters.

When the MCU started, it started with one hero and a palatable story, and the protagonist ends different as how he starts. From there, they built each character one by one.

Today? They're shoving everything and keeping people confused?

New at @sam online, ‘Cinematic Signs: Drive-In Murals Captured by John Margolies’, with a look at 14 of these hand-painted architectural canvases photographed between 1977–1991.

Pictured is the Trail Drive-In, Route 66, Amarillo, Texas, in 1982: https://www.loc.gov/item/2017708223/.

After posting today’s piece about the murals on drive-in theatres (https://bl.ag/cinematic-signs-drive-in-murals-captured-by-john-margolies/), a subscriber got in touch to tell me about this book on the medium at large:

https://gftbooks.com/screen-towers-the-drive-in-theater-in-america/?ref=bl.ag

Among the slideshow of photos from Screen Towers by Steve Fitch there are two of the drive-ins that I profiled, but shown at night with their neon in full glow. I've added these as a PS to the original post linked above.

Nick Schilder gaat komend najaar weer de theaters in. De zanger speelt vanaf oktober The Singer Songwriter Show, waarin hij het werk van grote singer-songwriters van vroeger tot nu vermengt met zijn eigen werk, maakte hij via Instagram bekend.

I can't say #TheCriticalDrinker is right or wrong until the movie comes out...

..but it has some good points.

It looks like this is a movie speared by Hollywood rather than Nolan itself. Who knows if it's a favor for someone at this point.

I'll die on this hill: The #SuperMarioGalaxy is a mediocre movie.

Kids are going to love it, but you won't unless you love your kids having fun.

There are better outings for your kids, but if they force your hand, keep your phone at hand for doom scroll if necessary.

The best of all: when it streams you will be able to keep your kids entertained at home.

James Cameron Complains About Netflix/Warner Bros Merger, Doesn’t Acknowledge A Paramount Deal Would Be Much Worse

Streamlined theaters of ‘moderne’ movie magic

“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry – Source: brainyquote.com

Listed below are some of the nation’s most iconic movie theaters that feature Streamline Moderne architecture. Related to art deco, Streamline Moderne was employed principally in the 1930s and 40s as a more economical alternative due to the advent of the Great Depression and World War II. It served as a transitional design between art deco and mid-century modern and is often portrayed through sleekness and curvature to portray a sense of aerodynamics and speed.

As the images below attest, the Streamline Moderne style of architecture can also include a hearty salute towards the heavens with pylon towers extending skyward. While the theaters are listed by year of completion, as the Alex Theatre below notes, the tower adornment may have been added at a later date.

To this avid fan of theaters (or “theatres”), the Tower Theatre in Sacramento, the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California, the Normal Theatre in Illinois, and the Academy Theatre in Inglewood, California are among the most visually breathtaking structures in the nation. Fortunately for all of us, a number of these dynamic structures have been preserved through preservation efforts and/or adaptive reuse, though many are no longer utilized solely as theaters.

Enjoy the magical images throughout the post as representations of this most fascinating design. Peace!

With ‘ #Primate’ Attacking #Theaters, Here Are Five More #Animals Gone Wild #Horror #Movies You Need To See

Gorgeous Southern California civic buildings

Provided below are images of gorgeous civic buildings in Southern California. It is hard to imagine a region in the country with more stately and graceful civic buildings. While all are handsome, this blog author’s personal favorite is the airport terminal building in Long Beach (second image below). It reminds me of the golden age of flying and hat’s off to the city for preserving the original terminal.

Other top five (5) choices are the city halls in Burbank and Beverly Hills, the Central Library in L.A., and the Los Angeles Union Station. Burbank’s City Hall is an Art Deco lover’s dream come true, both inside and out.

Great architecture makes great cities. Peace and enjoy the images!

There were two of us to watch a moment in the lives of various animals brought together by an unspecified series of incidents, and a part of their journey in a familiar, strange world.

Sound design, animal behavior, and details are phenomenal; cat sounds, capybara chill, lemur upright.

Seeing the trailer for the first time in a movie theater, as it was designed to be seen, I can safely claim that the emotions embodied are emboldened by the medium. Facial micro-expressions are picked up by our human brain trained through thousands of years of evolution. #ForSome #NotForEveryone

And that is why we still watch movies inside a movie theater, not only for the social experience, but for the humanity. #movies #theaters #donvy
