Picture it . . .

A chain gang (think Cool Hand Luke) of ex-politicians replanting creosote, ocotillo, lechuguilla, and prickly pear, in the 'patrol roads'.

Sad to see Xscape Brandywine close — and I was at THE ODYSSEY’s first show on July 16th

I’m really sad to see Xscape Theatres Brandywine 14 shut down without warning. I was there for the very first showing of THE ODYSSEY on July 16th, and there were maybe a dozen people in the auditorium. Now the place is gone overnight.

What makes this frustrating is that the theater itself wasn’t the problem. They had refurbished recliners, the place was clean, the staff was friendly, and they had just added Disney’s Infinity Vision certification to their website. The two Xtreme auditoriums had ~70‑foot screens, making them the largest indoor screens in Maryland — only the Smithsonian IMAX screens are bigger in the DC region.

But Xscape never promoted any of that. Their marketing was basically just Facebook posts, which completely misses the 18–30 crowd who actually cares about big screens and premium formats. No TikTok, no Instagram Reels, no YouTube Shorts, no hype, no branding, no “Maryland’s largest indoor screen” messaging. They had a premium product and never told anyone.

Given the recent upgrades, the Infinity Vision certification, and the strong local market, this looks less like a failing location and more like a small chain that couldn’t keep up. And now Southern Maryland loses one of its best moviegoing options with zero explanation.

Mirage-Spotting

Hit a fun little milestone yesterday: logged my 100th Mirage on July 21, 2026. I started keeping track back on October 21, 2025. Not 100 different Mirages/G4s — probably just a couple dozen unique ones — but between my daily commute and random drives around my corner of the planet, the counter finally rolled over to 0100. Felt like sharing it with folks who get it.

Odyssey 5/70mm question

Does anyone know for sure whether the 5‑perf 70mm prints were made from the IMAX 70mm source, instead of going through a digital intermediate?
