What If The Unicorns Don’t Give a Shit About Our Problems?

Personally, I’m an optimist. I believe the unicorns give a shit about my problems.

This whole thing was something I never questioned, UNTIL NOW!

Thread: A business model for movie theaters

I’d like to have a film festival for my friends.

So I’ll give you a list of 20 movies, Mr Movie Theater Owner, and one night every other week, you’ll play one of them, and I’ll guarantee a certain number of tickets sold. Above that, we’ll split the revenue.

That way we get to watch old movies in a theater setting, with popcorn and restrooms, and then we can all go out to dinner after and talk about the movies and why we like them so much. Maybe we could even get one of the actors or the director to join us. Movie theaters should be hubs for social activity. Watching a movie at home or on a laptop or a tablet isn’t the same as watching it in a theater. And most of the great movies aren’t showing in theaters now.

I wouldn’t want to be the one guaranteeing a certain number of tickets but I’d participate. Actually going to the show has always been a huge part of my existence. It’s an activity, something to look forward to. It was even semi-exciting to go to the video store to rent movies back when that was a thing.

Older movies on the big screen, double plus good: Tron, Dirty Dancing, Empire Strikes Back just to name a few. Classic Movie Mondays is showing American Graffiti tonight for a buck.

A quote from the corrupt, cancer riddled police chief in the show that’s sucked me in much more than I ever thought it would.

Don’t think on it too hard. If you come across something that don’t make you miserable, enjoy it.

Obama’s hokey Jedi religion makes more sense than you think

President Obama drew a lot of criticism from sci-fi fans last week, when he conflated Star Trek and Star Wars in referencing a “Jedi mind-meld” during a press conference on the looming sequester. The gaffe quickly spawned a satirical #ObamaSciFiQuotes hashtag on Twitter, while the White House seized upon the opportunity to appropriate the sound bite for its own Twitter campaign. Both fan bases searched for explanations for Obama’s apparent misstep, with some speculating that the President may have been confused by two forthcoming J.J. Abrams films, but according to MIT’s Chris Peterson, his blunder may have been more calculated — and contextually appropriate — than it seemed.

Doesn’t matter much to me if this was a calculated sound bite or not, the mere fact that our president and White House reference Sci-fi is pretty cool.

“These sound bites - too accurate for republicans. Only democratic stormtroopers are so precise.”
