"To celebrate the series’ May 21st release of [The Boroughs] on Netflix, the Egyptian Theatre is proud to present Never Say Die: Ageless Adventures That Built The Boroughs, a film collection specially curated by series creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews that contains their cinematic inspirations for The Boroughs. Never Say Die features some of cinema’s most memorable motley crews of eccentrics, young and old – underestimated heroes who assemble to fight against dangers that threaten their homes, their families and their lives, as well as friends whose bonds deepen and strengthen as they share an unforgettable adventure.

Whether it’s friends joining together to face the extraterrestrial (Cocoon, E.T., Signs), the monstrous (Fright Night, The Lost Boys, Poltergeist), or the unbelievable wonders hidden right under their backyards (The Goonies), all of the stories featured in this lineup reverberate through The Boroughs. 

Film fans of all ages can enjoy these classics together at the Egyptian. And as a special treat, the Egyptian will host a free-with-RSVP sneak peek at the first episode of The Boroughs on Wednesday, May 20 at 7:30 PM, followed by a post-screening conversation with series creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews!"

We Call It June Gloom Internally But Bleak Week Returns This June

There's a pessimists pride and joy of films to make you want to end it all coming as the bad weather sets in this June. Hence, the June Gloom name we give it over here at TTDILA, which by the way is regional. A Canadian friend pointed out that they had never heard of the Gloom. Bleak Week, now in it's fifth year of despair, comes back ushering in just pure sadness and woe...IN CINEMA.

You can read more about it below and get most of the list and special screenings, which is always an absurd list of awesome...when it comes to whose coming and what's being shown.

But, we highly recommend pacing yourselves and seeing like one film, so you don't hurt your fragile souls. Sátántangó is 7 hours, you should just get a shirt for JUST seating through that.

The new pack is out this fall. Also, from Jackbox a new hidden object game, My Arms Are Longer Now coming soon to PC (Steam and Epic Games).

 

LEGO® Batman™: Legacy of the Dark Knight has no business covering so much Bat-Lore, so well. This straight up looks fun for any Bat fan of any age. Why is the best Batman game in years from LEGO?

 

 

We teamed up with @theyetee to bring to life this wicked collection of Forbidden Solitaire merch - including a Heartblade keychain, a Jester pin and a Heartblade Interactive staff tee! ⚔️💔🃏 pic.twitter.com/iI1ySrcyRD

Honestly, no hand gem merch? Pathetic. 

MotorSlice has less than a week to go! Become the bane of all construction equipment on May 5th, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox.

Or, if you don't feel like slicing motors (in a game called MotorSlice), you can take selfies with an anime girl in a ruined megastructure pic.twitter.com/taIzzi2I2A

Hey, they made Forbidden Solitaire. 

Local Hype: Is The AMC Burbank 16 Escalator Always Broken? Eye Massages? & Goth Yoga?

 

L.A. Material seems like it grabbed a lot of people with this one.

Why Is the Escalator at the AMC Burbank 16 Always Broken?

 

* I thought a New York AMC was bringing in the most money is the US, but apparent this article states our local AMC 16 is bringing the most money for a theater in the country.

 

The LA Times has us with these two gems:

 

What is an eye massage? We tried it at this under-the-radar L.A. spot

Yes, goth yoga is a thing — and it’s thriving in a Burbank occult shop

Resident Evil 2026

My new alt poster for the upcoming #residentevil directed by the brilliant #zachcregger 🩸🤘 pic.twitter.com/q1yFohfXY4

We're totally in for Zach Cregger's take on Resident Evil. The concept is just a regular guy, not a cop, not someone specially trained is put in the world. So, wrong place, wrong time.

Apparently, it's more about the messed up mutants you get from the games than the zombies.

We won't get it until September. Yes, it's still coming from Sony.
