quote [ In my first ever journal article, I listed the tropes that all gladiator story arcs seem to have in common. For funsies (and vindication) I've made a ticklist to see if Ridley followed the same formula as dozens of screen gladiators that went before, or did something breathtakingly original. ]

quote [ ?With most studios, we can book new and classic films, but Disney has the weirdest rules,? he says. ?For the year, you can either show first-run stuff or you can show repertory, but you can?t do both. So in 2024, for the first time, we decided to go with Disney repertory.? Which means that Screenland can show The Lion King (1994) anytime this year, but not Mufasa: The Lion King in its initial run. ]

quote [ I hope you all read my impassioned plea, and start searching garage sales, junk shops and eBay for some of the last remaining functional LaserDisc players.
[?] The glue used to bind LaserDiscs is breaking down, but they can?t disappear. Disney and James Bond and whoever else can try to pretend that a movie didn?t feature outrageously large mermaid breasts or outright misogyny, but the LaserDisc is a witness. ] As if you wouldn't know. Interesting archivist's stance though. From last year.
