Judy gave up her own home to be able to keep this theater in her family and running. You can get another place to live but you can’t get another theater, she said. The margins are razor thin to keep it alive, and a plumbing crisis like this is catastrophic. PLEASE DONATE OR SHARE https://t.co/I319uiuQGK

The Gardena Cinema needs your help. If you've ever gone, please try and donate for their busted pipe problem.
Hollywood’s favorite story: the broke outsider who self-financed an $80k movie on credit cards.
— Hollywood Gadfly (@Hwdgfly) June 6, 2026
The receipts: a ~$1M elite education, $330k+ in grants on her prior film, and a father - a Chinese real-estate and equity investor - credited as an executive producer.

Survival of the Richest: Hollywood's Broken Talent Pipeline
Good read on how hard it is to make an indie movie and how numbers get fudged to make some seem way more cheap. New word "Poorface."
Little Toni’s in North Hollywood CA if anyone was curious! They were so great to us for the day we filmed there. Fun fact: it was the last day of filming! https://t.co/HuhwLH4EWV

Nice Anime Expo 2026 Schedule Reminders
Reminder: Dark Horse Manga returns to @AnimeExpo with a brand new panel!
— Dark Horse Comics (@DarkHorseComics) June 6, 2026
Join us on Friday July 3rd at 5:15pm in Room 411, as we reveal some exciting NEW licenses! 👀
Attendees will also receive a free poster and get a chance to grab some Deluxe Edition manga volumes 💪… pic.twitter.com/kguA5SoX7z
It's weird, because there's been so much turnover and controversy over at Dark Horse, we really sue wonder what they're gonna bring to AX. They use to be such a major booth and one of the first manga publishers.
They were no shows at WonderCon and you can read more about there recent activity here.

Adventure Time: Side Quests Out June 29th On Hulu and Disney+
The first trailer for ‘ADVENTURE TIME: SIDE QUESTS’ has been released.
— DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) June 8, 2026
The prequel series follows Finn's early childhood on monster-fighting adventures with Jake.

Don't know how the heck we have Adventure Time on Hulu and Disney+, but at least it's it'll be out there.
Some changes, most of the main staff who've been making Adventure Time aren't involved, but Nate Cash, now showrunner, worked on Adventure Time, so he knows the show.
Jeremy Shada is TOO OLD to voice Finn, it is a prequel series, so now we have Sasha Knight voicing the hero of Ooo.
We're optimistic about it, it's back to fun adventures with our boys, Finn and Jake. Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake went a way different route and isn't a show for kids, but more for moody teens. So, it's nice to see them back in classic mode.

Anime Expo 2026: Artist Alley Size, Los Angeles Anime Artist Alley & 18+ Section Gets A Row?
Is artist alley half the size this year compared to last year pic.twitter.com/HniMGudY4h
— court 🐰💫 (@courtbanashi) June 6, 2026
As pointed out online it looks like Artist Alley has been trimmed due to work being done on the LA Convention Center. Not the greatest news. Social media claims it's half the size it was last year. Still, there's quite a few booths and returning artists that you'll no doubt want to check out.
It look like some artists are coming together for an outside Artist Alley. Los Angeles Anime Artist Alley is not officially connected to AX, but it happening the same weekend. It tells you a lot if so many people banded together to do this. It seems like a lot of space was lost this year at AX. It's a nice alternative if you want to ogle and grab artist/fan made goods without having to pay for AX and it's not far from Little Tokyo. Which has the Kondasha pop-up happening then too and the Delicious in Dungeon Exhibit nearby as well.
The newest change and a bit of space removal from Anime Expo's artist alley, at least for some people, is that a row will now be part of 18+ and sectioned off. Just like the 18+ section, you'll be carded to peruse the more naughty booths at AX.
Oh, jeez, what will American artists make to sell at these booths? We'll give you the skinny for probably the weirdest stuff. Here's hoping some artists makes the Food Network's top host into something we're gonna have to black bar to show you on this site.
Writing about 18+ section, the MEME50 Autograph Session #1 & #2 sold out already. People like there p0rn.
