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 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Mamdani just spent several minutes detailing Netanyahu’s alleged war crimes before saying he has no authority to arrest him and leaves the matter to the federal government.
Fine. Then use every power the mayor does have.
Don’t roll out the red carpet for a wanted war criminal. Don’t use the NYPD to insulate him from public outrage. Don’t suppress the New Yorkers who take to the streets demanding accountability.
If Netanyahu is truly not welcome in New York City, that principle should be reflected in how the city treats his visit, not just in rhetoric.
Flipping through the titles on hulu, making a point to scroll past brokeback mountain at the exact same tempo as the other films, not gayly slow or homophobicly fast
ive never understood the allure of going to strip clubs with dudes. you and your boys all sittin there bricked up together, legs touchin in the booth a lil bit. if yall not jerkin each other off whats the point
This is exactly the point of AI / Trump’s “Fake News” America: to make information hard to decipher so the unknowledgeable argue with the knowledgeable and we’re distracted from information to help ourselves
Batman The Dark Knight was released in 2008
In the film Batman hands Lucius Fox a super computer that taps into all the cell phones in Gotham and turns them into a mass surveillance network that could see and hear everything done by anyone in Gotham
Lucius Fox took one look at the system and said, "No one should have this kind of power". And everyone watching the movie fully understood why. Even if used to find someone as dangerous as The Joker, the trampling of everyone's privacy wasn't worth the cost
So why now just 18 years later would anyone welcome the Flock camera network that basically does the same thing in real life?
In fact, the system from the movie gave only a real time look at the people of Gotham. The Flock network creates a searchable database so you can see where everyone traveled to and from historically. It is worse that the system from Batman, and some people still embrace it
The problem I’m having with Black liberals is the fact that they have their priorities fucked up. When they talk about racism, it’s always about how powerful Black politicians are being treated instead of how the most vulnerable in the community are treated by those same leaders.
@DeeBee2102@HonorableApollo@wholesomefoxx I honestly think they should've just recast him with Terrence Howard, because of how they did him re: Rhodey. But that's just me. lol
@DeeBee2102@HonorableApollo@wholesomefoxx I feel you. And I’m not saying they should’ve cast RDJ or whatever. But it’s the optics. Disney wasn’t risking that money on old buddy. A better comparison would be Jared Leto. He’s been up to bullshit recently, and they gave him the Tron gig.
@DeeBee2102@HonorableApollo@wholesomefoxx You’re right. But he did all that shit a decade before we was cast. If he was wilding out like that during production, he might’ve got the boot too.
