I lost a family member recently and it’s been really comforting to go through their old movies.

Thought it might be fun to ask the sub…

- Who do you think owned this VHS/DVD collection?
- Where was it located — physically?

I’ll add the answer sometime tomorrow. Would love any guesses/insights/thoughts that occur to you 🥹💖

Physical media (memories) matter! 📼💿 Titles in comments.

i got sent this “correction” blast today re: SF drafthouse and christopher nolan. kind of spectacular.

ORIGINAL

“San Francisco’s New Mission has been an icon of cinema for more than a century, and under the leadership of Alamo Drafthouse it stands at the apex of cinematic presentation, whether you’re a filmmaker or an audience member,” Christopher Nolan says. “To be honored in this way, and with this particular theater, is a thrill beyond words. I am grateful to Alamo Drafthouse Cinema for their passion and commitment to creating an ideal cinematic experience that celebrates and elevates this art form that we all love.”

Corrected Christopher Nolan Quote

"San Francisco’s New Mission is a beautiful, historic, iconic cinema with more than a century of rich history," Christopher Nolan says. "To be recognized in this way by Alamo Drafthouse, and with this particular theater which continues the great tradition of showing films on 70mm film, is an incredible honour.”

after all the discourse around Alamo Drafthouse adding the mobile ordering system, this correction to a Nolan quote today is just incredible.

“ideal cinematic experience” line totally retracted — four full hours after the story broke.

would love to have heard those phone calls. quote is still wrong at most outlets and probably always will be.

Hi! I found this weird die at a game store in Mammoth Lakes, California. Cashier didn’t know what it was; came from a big bag of random stuff.

Six sides.
Four animal butts: chicken, donkey, elephant, pig.
A neon green teabag with a “T” on the string tag.
Also, a like sideways capital “I” — or maybe it’s a gate?

Is this like a phonics game or a kink thing or…? 😂🎲
