Four days of box office reporting on DIGGER, with everybody reaching a different answer to the same equation. “Nobody knows anything” includes the trades.

From LIFE Magazine, this is an article about the emerging technology of television published in 1937, but if you squint hard enough at this paragraph, it kinda sounds like it's about AI.

Talking with my friend who was trying to remember who it was that she’s been confusing with Lance Oppenheim.

So uh…. What’s the story here? Since when does a studio win a bidding war and decline to comment on what they bought?

Thanks! Here's a link to the full set if you're looking for more. I think the one I used in the post is number 19. Also attaching some newspaper clippings from September 1959. digital.library.ucla.edu/catalog/ark:...

You know he rehearsed this. You know that he hired actors to study and imitate every single person in this room. Show it to us.

Posted it along with the original story of the history account, from when I was developing a project with a producer at Circle of Confusion.

After eight years of running a popular LA history account, I decided Friday to tell 200,000+ followers who I was.

The fucking internet, man... All of this information was pinned down by me for an IG/FB post yesterday evening, and now I can no longer repeat my original searches to dig deeper because I've become its main source and it just wants to feed me my own post.

I just read the “production” section on the Wikipedia entry for Rhinestone and holy shit. Did not know that Stallone just started fucking with it because he was hurt that Paramount wouldn’t let him keep fucking with Beverly Hills Cop.

Far be it from me to question the journalistic integrity or basic literacy of DiscussingFilm, but "because he thinks" is not the framing that I came away with from Rebecca Rubin's interview.

Y’all, am I going too hard on Tilly Norwood? Just left this comment on an LA Magazine reel asking whether she’s the future of Hollywood.

There was an episode of USA’s “Renegade” where Lorenzo Llamas accidentally goes 100 years back in time.

Love this insight into Frankenheimer. Sometimes being understood too late is not vindication, but rather just a second round of heartbreak.

Some are still doing it! I posted some old footage to my history account back on No Kings Day and got some inspiring and encouraging responses from people who were at both.
A frame from historical footage of an anti-war protest in front of the Century Plaza Hotel in Century City where LBJ was attending a fundraising dinner on June 23, 1967.An Instagram commenter writes: “I was there and I was one of the protesters that was hit with a baton by a policeman. He then shoved me down on the ground. I got up and kept on marching. I also protested yesterday at the No King's march, and I will continue to protest as it is my right as an American. Power to the people.”Another Instagram commenter writes: “I was there and I was also at the No Kings march today. I hate stupid wars and stupid politicians.”An Instagram comment from someone who was at the earlier protest and admired the second: “I was there. glad to see people out and about demonstrating today. Like then we have today good reasons. The reasons were similar enslaving our young men to fight a war for petroleum. Aka runaway capitalism.”

So... fun fact! The one and only mention of Spencer Pratt in the Epstein files leads to Page Not Found.

When the Holloway reopened, they decided to re-designate the patio as a smoking section and nobody smokes anymore or knows it’s back here, so I get to watch the Spurs game in a private space with waitstaff service. It’s pretty good.
