Today I say farewell to the Majestic Crest Theater, perhaps for the final time. The last movie I saw there was Up in the Air, although they have since shown many I wanted to go to nobody else ever wanted to bother not going to the multiplex. The company that bought it last year is closing it due to no longer having a contracted chain managing it. I'll hope that they reopen the Crest but I'm not holding my breath. Such a shame to lose the most magnificent movie theater I've ever been to!

Star Wars coming to Blu Ray (UPDATE: August 30 2011, No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!)

Gaffer Tape said:

  And of course the quotes I provided from Lucas's speech to Congress were dismissed as not applying to him or his films.  Because, you know... reasons. 

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that Lucas was against colorization which was typically done by a studio rather than the director or anyone previously involved in the film. Making that speech is 100% consistent with Lucas' insistence that movie studios are completely awful. It's not as hypocritical as one might think, simply because he doesn't attack anyone who makes changes to their own movies (as far as I'm aware.)

My Radio Show: Back with a Vengeance! Tuesdays 10 PM
Time

Since we are a streaming-only station I am bound by the bizarre standards of the DMCA: in any 3-hour period, I can webcast:
No more than 3 songs from one album;
no more than 2 played consecutively
No more than 4 songs from a set/compilation;
no more than 3 played consecutively
No more than 4 recorded songs by the same artist
(live studio appearances are okay)

I know my local radio station has bypassed this in the past for whatever reason but I definitely can't... which is a disappointment, as I'd wanted an album-oriented rock program. I'm already on eggshells for trashing the station due to its problems (my friends decided to have fun and raid the facebook page... I got lectured for that) and I took a Fleet Foxes poster from the office that hopefully nobody has noticed is missing.

I will be willing to. Given that Tubular Bells is going to be 90% of the show (internet streaming laws are tough, but this album is only two songs so I can play it in full), I'd like to build an interactive base. In other weeks I'll be speaking more but Tubular Bells is like 49 minutes long so I'm going to play part 1 straight through and then part 2.
