“Dear PoPville,
To everyone who got MoviePass and was sad that it didn’t work for all the awesome Landmark Theatres in the DC area, rejoice! You can now go to any of the Landmark theatres using MoviePass. That means E St, Atlantic Plumbing, West End, etc. Now if only I could go back in time a week and stop myself from paying non-MoviePass money to see Isle of Dogs…”

More signs of spring starting to sprout – from the Golden Triangle BID:
“New blockbusters, cult favorites and an all-time classic will highlight this summer’s 10-movie Golden Cinema season of outdoor movies in Farragut Square, presented by the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District as part of its signature Farragut Fridays series.
Outdoor movies will be shown at sunset every Friday beginning on June 1 and running through the first week of August. Academy Award Best Picture Nominee The Post will kick off the series on Friday, June 1 and the new, box office smash Black Panther will close out the 10-week series on Friday, August 3.
This is the sixth season of the Golden Triangle’s free movie series, which each year attracts thousands of movie fans to enjoy some of their favorite films under the stars. Pursuant to National Park Service regulations, all movies shown in the series are rated G, PG, or PG-13.
“Golden Cinema is a phenomenal event that brings families, friends and co-workers together for a relaxing evening or a date night, to watch movie favorites under the stars and in the iconic setting of Farragut Square,” said Leona Agouridis, Golden Triangle BID Executive Director. “It’s a great way to unwind at the end of a long work week and we are always thrilled to welcome hundreds of movie fans to enjoy these special evenings with us.”
This year’s Golden Cinema schedule is as follows: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I work full time producing videos and taking photographs for non-profit organizations in DC. Recently, I went a little outside my comfort zone and created a short film for an international contest. The short was supposed to be about your city, and what better city to focus on then DC. My concept was for a couple to take a trip down memory lane and retake images of themselves in their favorite DC spots.
It has always been a dream of mine to be a filmmaker and I am trying my best to show my 20 month old daughter that anything is possible. So, after a few late nights, and some mornings with my baby eating cheerios on my lap while I edited, I finished my short film and I couldn’t be happier with it. Luckily it was selected as one of the 9 finalists!
The final winner will be decided via a public vote on YouTube. For every like I get on my YouTube video I get one vote. I was hoping you could take a moment and help me achieve this crazy dream of mine. I am up against some stiff competition, including a few California crews who were able to use actual Hollywood actors. In my opinion my local DC cast and crew beat them by a mile, but I could still use a little help getting the word out there.
Please vote for my video here.
Here is also some info on the contest itself.”

“The Uptown will continue its weekend morning movie series that started in December with a new slate of films starting this Saturday, Jan 6 and Sunday, Jan. 7. Sing, the animated 2016 film featuring the voices of Scarlett Johannson, Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Seth Macfarlane, will run at 10:00am both days.(Yes, for anyone remembering 10:30 start times in December, this is earlier to accommodate the still-running Star Wars at the Uptown the rest of the day)
Here’s the line-up for future films, too: (more…)

“Remember this? Landmark Theatres no longer coming here per NoMa BID rep at ANC6C Parks & Events Committee mtg last night.”
Update from NoMa BID:
“To clarify: We don’t have confirmed information as to the theater’s status, either way. The comment at last night’s mtg was speculative & made in the context of a discussion about where @NoMaParksDC’s NoMa Meander (http://nomaparks.org/noma-meander ) crosses Patterson & goes north.”
