The Audible Original Tom Morello at Minetta Lane Theatre: Speaking Truth to Power Through Stories and Song is a moving personal story and musical journey that highlights everything from his childhood to the social activism and guitar mastery that he’s become known for. Weaving a live narrative that is both spoken and played, Morello explores the role of music in social and cultural movements, which is clearly evident in his seminal work with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, along with the countless other musicians that he’s collaborated with, over the years. During this 1-on-1 phone …
On Wednesday, it was announced AMC Theatres, once of the biggest movie theater chains in the country, had furloughed all 600 members of its corporate staff as well as CEO Adam Aron. This is a stunning decision coming at the end of a month which saw AMC on the frontlines, contending with growing public health concerns over the spreading coronavirus pandemic. Earlier in the month, AMC Theatres tried to ensure public safety by announcing social distancing precautions to help limits the number of moviegoers in one theater before later announcing they would shutter theaters for six to 12 weeks to …
AMC Theatres, which is America's largest movie theater chain, has announced a new 'social distancing' initiative that will see the chain cut its theater capacity in half beginning on March 14, and continuing through April 30. Regal Cinemas has just enacted the same measure, as has Canadian exhibitor Cineplex, which operates nearly 1,700 auditoriums up north. Meanwhile, Alamo Drafthouse is similarly "deactivating" sections of seats. Expect other theater chains to follow suit in the coming hours. This is a necessary measure that will keep people from being stacked on top of each other, should they choose to go …
Parasite is an excellent film, one that's ferociously entertaining, eviscerating of class and capitalism disparities, and relentlessly rewatchable. How'd you like to rewatch it... in black and white? That's right -- Neon, the film's US distributor, just announced that director Bong Joon Ho has prepared a special black and white version of his masterpiece, and it will screen in select theatres in New York and Los Angeles.

He explains: [caption id="attachment_862750" align="alignright" …
AMC has launched a new streaming service called AMC Theatres On Demand, with around 2,000 movie titles available to buy or rent.
AMC Theatres seemed to have figured out the best response to industry-disrupting services like Moviepass and, uh, "all of streaming." With their AMC Stubs A-List program, the theatre mega-chain offers a relatively low monthly subscription fee for up to three films in any of their theatres, allowing even for repeats and specialties like 3D or Dolby Theatres. The A-List bolstered and emboldened the public's appetite for the theatrical experience, rising as quickly as Moviepass crashed and burned. But they still have that pesky "all of streaming" to compete with. Thus, it should perhaps be no …
A prankster has been banned from AMC Theatres for posting a flyer claiming that Joker screenings have a 'No Singles Allowed' policy.
In the kind of coup that press releases are made of, Netflix has struck a deal with the Shubert Organization for Martin Scorsese's The Irishman to play at the historic Belasco Theatre on Broadway, making it the first film to screen at the venue in its rich, 112-year history. Netflix will provide what it describes as state-of-the-art equipment for the screenings, which will run from Nov. 1 to Dec. 1. It's a savvy move on the part of the streaming service, since The Irishman isn't welcome at major theater chains like AMC, and …
Landmark Theatres has banned is customers and staff from wearing Joker costumes and makeup or carrying props, in response to concerns over violence.
