It's a bit pricey as a "gift" donation at $59 a ticket, but, here's what you get

"The closing night event of this year's Los Feliz Film Fest is a special screening of the treasured family adventure beside LA's own UNESCO World Heritage Site, Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House at Barnsdall Art Park, with stunning views of filming locations like The Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House.

Enjoy a panoramic view of Los Angeles, then rocket back to the 1930s in our Barnsdall Gallery Theatre. The evening concludes with a panel discussion featuring members of the filmmaking team and representatives from The Rocketeer Trust and The Disney Archives exploring the process of adapting graphic novel to cinema.

Seating within the theatre is available on a first come first served basis. "

Cinerama Dome Still Not Open: Why?

“When I first posted about it, I thought people wouldn’t care. It seems like the whole world cares about the Cinerama Dome."

Two great pieces on activist Benjamin Steinberg trying to get the Cinerama Dome back open.

The Boys Are Back In Town This Week

 

 

 That snuck up on us. The Boys Final Season starts this Wednesday, April 8th on Prime. We get 2 new episodes out of the gate with 8 episodes in total to finish the show.

 

We're gonna miss the over-the-top bloody cape-sh*t that shoots way to close to home with a commentary on America. Sigh. 

 

If you thought the show sort of dropped back in out of nowhere, you're not wrong, it's been gone for a year and the previous two seasons dropped in June. So, there's never really been that much of a consistent schedule.

 

Dang, and we're even getting new Invincible episodes at the same time. I guess Amazon doesn't care about Summer subscribers.

Gallery 1988 Calling It Quits

 

Sad news, Gallery 1988, one of or earliest and most prolific of galleries we've covered is winding down operations this April. Jeez, we've covered countless openings and shows at the gallery...when they still had a physical gallery. The news dropped yesterday, April 1st, making many people hope it was a poorly conceived April Fools prank. Alas, it's not. After two decades and more of seeing scores of amazing artists do pieces based on movies, TV, anime, games and more...Gallery 1988 is shutting down. The pop culture we're losing made better by artists taking it to another level; it's gonna be missed.

Here's coverage from one of our fav artists from the gallery, it's the Olly Moss Solo Show

You can read Katie Sutton's goodbye post on social media below. Her and Jensen Karp are or soon...were the co-owner's of Gallery 1988.
 

"Guys what can I say… after 22 years we’re closing down the gallery. These past few years have been hard, and the market is the worst I’ve seen it in over two decades. I really tried to keep things going, especially for our amazing artists, but sadly here we are… April will be our last month. 
.
Beyond the sadness of this decision, I take so much comfort reflecting on what we built. Jensen and I never in a million years could have imagined the gallery would become what it did. How lucky were we? We got to work on the most incredible projects with the most creative and talented artists. We were just kids but we got to meet the coolest people and literally grow up alongside them in this weird, beautiful, fun space. It really was the best job in the world. 
.
Thank you to everyone who stepped foot inside the gallery, or bought a piece, or told their friends about us. We loved being the place where people made their very first art purchase ❤️  And to our amazing staff who hung on despite the neverending chaos. 
.
And most of all thank you to every single artist who trusted us with their work. Without you guys we were nothing. You all built the gallery and I am forever grateful. 
.
Fuck AI art and PLEASE keep supporting human artists 🙏 The people we worked with can create artwork far superior to anything a computer can spit out. If you love the type of art we showed, below are some places you can still find it.

💛 Katie

The Furious Special Screening May 25th

 

We heard it was brutal over at Beyond Fest last year, but this level of carnage looks epic, Furious is the must see martial arts movie of 2026. And, seeing Yayan Ruhian in the trailer always makes an impact. You might remember him kick butt in every movie he;s been in since The Raid. There's gonna be a special screening a few days before it goes to more theaters, thanks to Big Bad Film Fest. If you want to see it on the big screen May 25th with an audience craving blood, get tickets here and read more about it here. Or you can wait like a regular Joe for its May 29th release without the fanfare. 

Gonna be honest, not loving the poster by Drew Wills through BOND, Lionsgate should have hired Phantom City Creative again. Maybe, on the special Blu-ray release.
