The White House movie theater over the years. In the East Wing, demolition imminent. The first film screened there was D. W. Griffith's racist epic Birth of a Nation in 1915. Jimmy Carter watched 480 films there, the most of any president: letterboxd.com/jfrankenstei...

Updated my website with this gorgeous lantern slide from NARA.
The US National Parks are many things. Outdoor recreation destinations, wildlife refuges, sacred Indigenous land. And they were co-created by modern media.
Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls, Moonlight Effect, no date (1890-1935).

They are filming the sequel for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in our neighborhood every night this week, so I stopped by the set to take a look. Impressive level of 1977 detail work here, down to the staged phone booth and fake band flyers.

Finally saw The Eyes of Laura Mars today, fun to watch & laugh with a crowd at Vidiots.
Lots to love (costumes & camera) even if it doesn’t really work.
And those flaming cars…homage to Godard?
