  2. 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.

  7. 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.

  12. 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.

    Normal Theatre (1938) in Normal, Illinois – Source: en.wikipedia.org

    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!

  16. 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!

  17. 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!
