Downtown Lobby: The Music Box Has Been Evicted!? →
downtownlobby: Yet another update which should end all of the speculation on what exactly is going on over at one of our favorite local venues, The Music Box. First we reported that the live music venue would be closed temporarily due to some changes in management and even Goldenvoice who handles the…

My favorite films in and about Los Angeles
Now that I’m approaching my 8th anniversary since moving here, I’ve come to learn many good and unique things about Los Angeles and have hopefully convinced my Midwest friends that this place has a very unique character and isn’t all that bad. After watching the movie ‘Drive’ again, I tried tabulating all of my favorite films not only set in Los Angeles, but also...

Roger Ebert: I'll tell you why movie revenue is... →
1. Obviously, the absence of a must-see mass-market movie. […] 2. Ticket prices are too high. […] 3. The theater experience. […] 4. Refreshment prices. […] 5. Competition from other forms of delivery. […] 6. Lack of choice. Box-office tracking shows that the bright spot in 2011 was the performance of indie, foreign or documentary films [this has arguably been the case since 1989 with...

Yeah, it sounds like a douchebag way of putting it, but I couldn’t give a shit about a nice, posh hotel with Western accoutrements. Just send me somewhere and I’ll...

So I watched 'Tommy' again last night...
After hearing about Ken Russell’s passing last month, I watched his interpretation of The Who’s ‘Tommy’ into a surreal yet amazing musical on film. Then I saw this scene with Eric Clapton as a preacher who Tommy visits with his mother for some faith healing… Unfortunately, I immediately thought of this Chicago eyesore: Oh, Mr Russell, we shall miss your visions...
