I didnt participate in #bracketszn25 this year because for me the hottest Dodger is Tanner Scott and I didn’t want to normalize or romanticize hot men who disappoint and hurt us. But I did donate to @makfmartin.bsky.social’s fundraiser and you should too fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/Dodgers20...

15 minutes of trailers tonight at Regal Union Square! An obvious projector switchover between them and the movie!

FWIW, my IMAX 70MM screening in Indianapolis had a couple of local ads but no actual trailers.

COBB: There's a good chance because of the wholly unconstitutional, authoritarian way this was done that the case may get tossed well before trial

Can people who are going to see One Battle After Another at public screenings on VistaVision (esp. at Regal Union Square) report back as to whether or not there are trailers/ads before the film and if so for how many minutes?

It should go without saying but if you’re a member of the press or industry, you owe it to your peers, the institution that invited you, the filmmakers and, honestly, yourself to put your phone away for two hours and enjoy the film you’re fortunate enough to see early.

THIS-what's also helped me in times like this is to read/listen about what others went through.
Especially for those of us who work in entertainment @karinalongworth.bsky.social incredible series on the Black List is a great place to start www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/201...

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”
