, Adrien Brody passion project Clean , Cannes winner Compartment No. 9 , Danish upscale restaurant drama A Taste of Hunger and Woody Allen’s latest Rifkin’s Festival hit theatres crowded by Oscar contenders in a specialty market consumed by awards season (and as a major storm looks set to pummel the Northeast). There’s more new content than the market has seen in many weeks, although these can be hard frames for indie distributors to find available screens. ( Belfast , for instance, which did well this week as the DGA, PGA, WGA and ACE unveiled nominations, is adding 130 runs, as per Focus Features. Nightmare Alley is back up to 1,100 screens as Searchlight Pictures rolls out the black-and-white version.) But it’s easier now than it will be after Feb. 8 and a crush of actual Oscar nominees, said one distribution executive. “We’re going in, trying to get a couple of weeks, get some space.” Sony’s move to push the release of Morbius from today to April 1 … [Read more...] about ‘GameStop: Rise Of The Players’ Brings The Meme Stock Era To Theaters – Specialty Preview

This week in rock history, the Doors enraged Ed Sullivan, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie left Fleetwood Mac , a stalker mailed Björk a bomb, the Strokes made their stage debut and Johnny Cash passed away. September 17, 1967: The Doors are banned from The Ed Sullivan Show for refusing to change their lyrics At the peak of their popularity, the Doors were not interested in compromise – no matter who was asking. Upon the release of their second album, Strange Days , the Los Angeles band was booked to perform on the Ed Sullivan Show . They were allotted two songs: “People Are Strange,” the dejected lead single from the record, and their previous hit, “Light My Fire.” Backstage, minutes before the show began taping, producers asked singer Jim Morrison to change the line “Girl we couldn’t get much higher,” claiming that the line suggested illegal drug use and wasn’t fit for the audience. Morrison refused irritably, but the rest of the group agreed to swap in less … [Read more...] about Week in Rock History: Fleetwood Mac Breaks Up, Johnny Cash Dies
