In the Age of Coronavirus, Even Movie Theaters Learn to Love Streaming
|
|
Greg Laemmle never thought he’d recommend anyone to stream a movie at home. The best way to watch a film, as any theater owner like Laemmle will tell you, is in a darkened cinema with a tub of popcorn at the ready.
But along with atomizing life as we know it, the
coronavirus pandemic has entirely disrupted the business of showing motion pictures on the big screen. There’s a great deal of ambiguity over when things will return to normal, and when activities like going to the movies can safely resume. That has forced Laemmle, who runs a family-owned arthouse chain in Los Angeles, and other exhibitors to get innovative to keep their industry alive at a time when they can’t operate conventionally.
“Obviously we are concerned about generating revenue during this period,” Laemmle told Variety.
Those anxieties have propelled some mom-and-pop multiplexes to take an unlikely step in the interim — launching “virtual cinemas” that allow audiences to see first-tier films from the comfort of their couch. For cinephiles who pledge loyalty to their local theaters, it provides an opportunity to financially support a sector of the industry that’s been seriously impacted by the pandemic.

How Star Trek Influenced
Vela Kurv’s Creation
|
Star Trek had such a resonating tone of truth for me. It spoke to me as a child; I would watch the syndicated reruns everyday after school during my elementary school days. The truth of opportunity and capability resonated with me, as well. How could it not, resonate with everyone, I thought.
This television series did something extraordinary during a very turbulent time in the United States.
Star Trek was able to shine a light on inequity, on prejudice and racism and on the plight of war. In fact, so much of the series connected with me, that I was driven to create my own biracial female superhero inside my own world of science fiction, her name is
Lorabella Kurv Wiles, also known
Vela Kurv.
