Go down the street where you live to a theater near you and catch a special big screen showing of the Academy Award-winning musical My Fair Lady! The film was recently restored for its 50th anniversary so it is even more “loverly” than ever. Turner Classic Movies has scheduled showings of My Fair Lady on February 17 and 20 as part of the 2019 TCM Big Screen Classics Series. Each TCM classic is usually preceded by some behind-the-scenes trivia about the film and followed by some insights provided by TCM host Ben Mankiewicz. This presentation of My Fair Lady should…

Back in 2014, we weren’t exactly sure what to expect from a movie about plastic building blocks. Since then The Lego Movie and Lego Batman have set the bar rather high for films in the franchise, and The Lego Movie Part2 manages to meet those expectations rather well. (Lego Ninjago, not so much) It has humor and action as well as some bright, catchy tunes although none that are all that memorable (despite one being called “The Catchy Song” with a line saying “this song is gonna get stuck inside your head”). Stephanie Beatriz as General Mayhem and Tiffany Haddish…

According to Movieweb and Variety, Steven Spielberg will be producing a movie based on the spooky tale “The Spire in the Woods” by Tony Lunedi. Steven Spielberg through Amblin Entertainment will produce the film in partnership with Roy Lee and John Berg of Vertigo Entertainment. The project is now known as “The Bells.” “The Spire in the Woods” first appeared as a 10-part story on Reddit in its No Sleep subreddit in 2013. The story was collected as an eBook in 2017 and is available on Amazon. Based on true events, the story revolves around the protagonist’s quest to discover…

If you have been affected at all by a polar vortex you are probably sick of all things winter and ready for spring. This anti-winter attitude is echoed in the opening sequence of the Frozen 2 trailer. The teaser opens with a grim-faced Elsa staring out at a dark and stormy sea. We then see her get determined and run out into the surging waves. Why? Where is she going? We don’t know. We don’t even know if she succeeds in whatever she is trying. The trailer shifts to an anxious-looking Anna looking out at something on her balcony, and…

A third Conan movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger has been an on again, off again rumor for many years, although according to Movieweb, Arnold is still for it. Movieweb referenced a video posted by Arnold extolling Marvel’s recently released Conan comic book. The video starts on a picture of an older Conan seated on a throne-like chair with a sword leaning against it. Arnold starts saying, “This is a fantastic comic book. Look at this. Conan the Conqueror. Wow.” The video then pulls back to reveal Arnold Schwarzenegger holding the comic and sitting on a similar throne-like chair with a sword…

Godzilla, King of the Monsters, a sequel to Godzilla (2014), is set to debut May 31. Like the older film Destroy All Monsters (1968), Godzilla, King of the Monsters will have the title monster joined by Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah. The trailers look good and we anticipate seeing a return of so many of our favorite monsters. The hype and excitement around the forthcoming movie may be what has prompted Sony to release a 4K Ultra HD version of its Godzilla (1998) film on May 14 as reported by Movieweb. The new release was remastered in 4K with high dynamic…

We live in a world of quantified health—step counts, calorie intake, hours of sleep. Yet, one of the most significant daily health metrics remains abstract for many: the Air Quality Index (AQI). While we understand that a high AQI is “bad,” truly internalizing what that means for our bodies is a different challenge. A breakthrough in public health communication has emerged to solve this: the concept of converting AQI into a cigarette equivalent. This powerful translation does more than inform; it alarms, educates, and motivates in a way raw data alone cannot. This innovative approach uses a simple, if unsettling,…

Expanding from a single flagship location to a multi-city network is the ultimate milestone for a coworking operator. However, growth carries a hidden risk: fragmentation. As you scale, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a consistent brand identity and keep members from feeling like “visitors” when they step into a sister location. By 2026, success in the flex-office market isn’t just about total square footage; it’s about the strength of the network. Here is how to grow your footprint from 1 to 10 locations while keeping your community unified, powered by the Spacebring Multilocation framework. 1. Eliminate the “Silo Effect”…
