Yipes, times ARE changing:
End of an era: Laemmle's Sunset 5, once the 2nd biggest arthouse in the U.S. is closing. Will be replaced by Sundance Cinemas.

re the laemmle noho!
Greg: We are hoping to open before year end and have targeted December 21 as the first date for public screenings. We've got a lot to do between now and then to make this happen, but from top to bottom, our team is committed to hitting that date.

Thursday, November 10 – 4 SUPER 8 FILMS BY LUTHER PRICE (ON FILM!) – 8 PMA small collection of Luther Price’s legendary and controversial Super 8 films projected on their original format, including Sodom, Warm Broth, Clown, and Mr. Wonderful. In an article titled “Home Movies from Hell” in Bright Lights Film Journal, Gary Morris writes of Price: “He works in a disreputable format, appears in various guises in his own work from stylized, frozen-faced drag queen to naked performance artist to clown. Price’s film work has an oppressive intensity, envisioning an alienated world of often mindlessly repeated rituals and poses that entrap and suffocate his subjects ... Images of ruptured flesh and ghostly birthday parties are further ruptured and drained of life by Price’s torturous manipulations of the film, which can include chemical processing, filters, optical printing, re-photography, and even holes punched in the frame. What emerges is Price’s great subject — the breaches, breakdowns, and collapse of body, family, and society, and by extension all of life, in the face of unstoppable philosophical forces.”

Speaking of movie theaters being replaced, we went to see DRIVE at that One Colorado in Pasadena only to find that it is now one of these fucking places where you pay almost $30 for the privilege of being served a meal (which you pay for on top of the cover) and sitting in fancy seats while you watch the movie. And there we were at like noon thinking it was gonna be a cheap matinee. Fuck these places!
In other adam-related LA news, I finally went to the revolving bar atop the Bonaventure the other night. Is it bad that I thought it was kind of awesome? Downtown actually looks so beautiful from there.
― Hollis Frampton Comes Alive! (admrl), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
I went to Perch recently and downtown looked p cool, I liked it, I was dressed like a hobo and no one cared
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link

I got so drunk, it was a bad scene
― gAng ReLated (admrl), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 20:33 (twelve years ago) link
perch is some rooftop bar on uh 5th and hill, fancy n expensive or w/e but I got like one drink just to check out the view, worth at least doing that imo, just checked right now and yeah yelp reviews are hilarious
― puff puff post (uh oh I'm having a fantasy), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 20:35 (twelve years ago) link
i was planning on going to that screening! his stuff came highly recommended to me
pasadena is super-fancy! or the part i was in was anyway
― vitameatawalloginavegamin (donna rouge), Wednesday, 9 November 2011 20:36 (twelve years ago) link
it's not all fancy. I like Pasadena! But I have fancy tendencies
Yeah, Luther Price is great. And it is hard to see this stuff. Shame they are not showing "A" because that is dope

bonaventure rooftop bar is fun (and lame, but mostly fun).
i haven't been to the "gold class cinemas" in pasadena yet; i was hoping it would be more like one of the pub theatres like they have in portland (2nd run movie, cheap beer, cheap pizza).

When the man police have identified as a "person of interest" in Los Angeles' spate of recent arson attacks was sitting in the back of a squad car early Monday morning, a small group of witnesses gave him "the finger"-- and he returned the gesture with a smile, one witness said.
"It was creepy," said Rick Savage, a music producer who saw the incident at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue.
Savage said he was awake because he has been nervous about the string of arsons in recent days in his and other nearby neighborhoods. He said he had downloaded a police scanner application onto his iPad and went to the area at about 3:15 a.m. after hearing reports that authorities had tracked a person of interest in the case.
