After @taylorswift13 announced she would release her concert film directly through @AMCTheatres without a distributor, we wrote that the only other artist that could do that was Beyoncé. Well then... can we take credit for this? #amctheatres #Beyonce celluloidjunkie.com/wire/renaissan…

Sometimes there is a reason why sales methodologies last for years. They just work. AMC proved that customers are willing to pay for something they want (like a seat in the center of a cinema auditorium), but aren't willing to pay a discounted price for something they don't want.

Something I really don't like about the new @twitter algorithms is that @Wildaboutmusic no longer regularly appears in my feed. That is especially annoying around #GRAMMYs time. Be sure to tune into the broadcast of the ceremony tonight to see David's work.

Providing previews and predictions for any given @sundancefest is a risky vocation since films with a lot of buzz going into the festival can disappoint and vice versa. Yet I tried my hand at it anyway. #Sundance celluloidjunkie.com/2023/01/19/sun…

Earlier today, scheduling in-person screenings and reserving online screening tickets for #Sundance 2023 felt a little like playing 3D chess.

Whoever has "political analyst on @CNN referring to a congressional proceeding as a fecal festival" on their 2023 bingo card is starting off the year with a bang.
