Alex Trebek, the longtime host of Jeopardy, was born on this day in 1940! This exchange was always so funny to me.

For the slap in Mississippi Burning, Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe (71 today) agreed not to hold back. They shot it unrehearsed; Dafoe knew the slap was coming, but not the exact timing or velocity. They also filmed multiple takes, with Hackman changing the timing with each slap.

I am pleased to share the news that Sony Pictures will be reopening and restoring the historic Cinerama Dome. I was briefed by them on their reopening plans and can’t reveal any details, but I was invited to join the Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation so I look forward to working with them to ensure that the restoration honors and preserves the Dome and keeps it exactly as it was in 1963. The Sony people have been extremely generous with me and kind. Getting it to reopen has been a six year odyssey for me. I’ve made many new friends along the way and I am grateful for many people supporting me. I started the petition to save the Cinerama Dome within minutes of finding out it was shutting down and it received over 30 thousand signatures. I was able to reveal the 2023 reopening plans and then break the sad news about it being officially cancelled. Many people told me to give up. Industry figures that I deeply admire told me it would be impossible to convince the family ownership to reoepen it or have it leased to another exhibitor considering their other abandoned cinemas and lack of communication to me. I was called delusional. People made fun of me. Instead, I held protests, spoke with city leaders, provided updates from public records, updated the media, continuously pressed the owners. I had conversations with filmmakers ranging from Wes Anderson to Quentin Tarantino about it. A few months ago I projected the images of the owners faces onto the Dome asking them to reopen and they called the police on me. That was actually a miracle in disguise. I received attention from all around the world and the Cinerama Dome became a topic of conversation again. The general public wasn’t aware that the Dome was abandoned & neglected for 6 years. At the time I had thought nobody would care and it was widely accepted the Dome would be another demolition by neglect. That night was the first form of communication I’ve had with the owners in six years. A few weeks later their property representative responded to a comment about my incident saying “Ownership has taken notice to extreme public interest in reopening” and then  I gave ownership a deadline of August 20th to reopen or pick a new operator or massive protests will resume at their HQ. Just a few months later I’m contacted by Sony about the reopening.  Now I have Save Your Cinema with over 20K followers on social media and millions of views each day.  With the help of my followers we have saved multiple cinemas and are actively working on more reopening soon TBA! I am so grateful for everyone supporting me. Here are just some of the people I’d like to thank! Sean Baker, Edgar Wright, Alma Har'el, Joshua Safran, Alison Martino, Gary Baum, Mark Olsen, Jazz Tangcay, Pat Saperstein, Tait Forman, Christopher Forman , vanfathernighy and every single follower and person who signed my petition and liked my posts. We all made this happen TOGETHER as a community effort. Thank you to EVERYONE! The BEST movie theater on Earth will be reopening 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Bullpen woes continue…holy hell,

For many who watched this video, it was a warning from the future. Over 8 million views across YouTube and Instagram. One of the most raw encounters I’ve ever had. 👇🏼

Oh no! This is so sad!

What they said! 😂💪

Update on the game

@horrormuseum I watched this in the theater in Pittsburgh. We saw this in 82, I remember it vividly.

Marc who??

Trump is so fucking dumb that when he heard that semiconductors use "transistors," he thought they said "transgenders." That's how fucking stupid our President is.

Christopher Nolan's $250 million movie depends on one building in Burbank, 41 theaters worldwide, and roughly 90 people on Earth who know how to run the projector. The Odyssey is the first feature shot entirely on IMAX film, and FotoKem is the last lab anywhere that can make the 70mm prints. Every one of the thousands of cuts in the film was spliced by hand with a glue pot. The production burned through 2.1 million feet of negative, about 400 miles of film, and every foot of it flew back to that single lab for processing. Each finished print costs around $80,000 to make. One Las Vegas theater spent $32,000 on humidifiers just to keep its copy from drying out. Its projector had sat idle since Interstellar in 2014. Here's what the scarcity bought: when 70mm tickets went on sale a full year before release, 95% of seats sold within an hour. Retail price was $25 to $28. Resellers got $300 to $400. Presales have already broken the all-time IMAX record. Studios spent 20 years abandoning film because digital was cheaper to ship. Nolan kept the last lab alive and turned the bottleneck itself into the marketing. Thousands of rooms can play the 4K version. Only 41 can show the 18K version, and that gap is why people are crossing state lines for a movie ticket. The format Hollywood declared dead in 2010 is now the scarcest luxury good in entertainment.
