Working at the New Beverly Cinema is, to be sure, a pretty sweet ass job. I get to watch movies at work (and get paid!), eat all of the free candy and popcorn I like, and get to program festivals with film makers I admire. Let me just start off by saying that every single … Continue reading
Bring back gimmicks. I’m talking William castle-style seat tingling, skeleton flying, life insurance waver signing type gimmicks. I went and saw two 3D movies this weekend and had a blast. Nothing makes you feel more like a kid than reaching out to see if you can touch the effect coming out of the screen. It … Continue reading
Being a non-drinker in 2009 is an interesting thing. I don’t drink because I don’t like the way it tastes, and because it makes me sick. These reasons, I’ve found, aren’t good enough. People look at me like I just sprung a second head that looks like Bud Cort. “You have to acquire the taste!†… Continue reading

Farm Basket is a down home style fast food joint, with a barn shaped building and an interior done entirely in kitschy plaids and … Continue reading

So we all know that Snickers is the best selling candy bar world wide. People feel (and this is something I have tested working behind the candy counter at the new bev) that if a candy bar has peanuts in it that it is healthier for them. No joke. This is why Snickers out sells … Continue reading
