3-Day Snyderverse Movie Marathon Already Sold-Out

 

Just going on sale a few hours ago it looks like the 3-Day Snyderverse Movie Marathon for late April is already sold-out and with tickets at $150 and $175 a pop that's pretty impressive. All proceeds going to suicide prevention probably didn't hurt.

We just question how many people want to re-watch Zack Synder's take on the DC Universe with him doing Q&A's? The answer was a sold out crowd at high prices.

It's taking place in Pasadena's ArtCenter (to which Synder is an Alum) & the Citywalk IMAX, because WB didn't invest in its own fancy theater off the lot.

Buy the damn Cinerama-dome WBs.

Don' forget you're not that far out from Palm Springs. Desert X 2023 starts its almost 3-month stay in Coachella Valley starting Saturday. The outdoor art exhibition has yet to share the new free pieces to be in awe of as of writing this. Every two years, different artists showcase pieces large and small, but entice you to visit them a little outside of LA. What make it all the wilder is that they aren't in all one location, but usually all over Coachella Valley making you drive out to enjoy not just Palm Springs and how it's put on the freeway sign "Other Desert Cities."
