Seems to me that participating in events like the Sphere, are better for everyone overall, then just locking it in a vault until it falls into the PD. No one is forcing anyone to go to the Sphere to watch it. Your 4K DVD will still be around to watch at home.

I see people complaining about "The Wizard of Oz" at the Sphere. Keep in mind that 'Oz' will be in the public domain in a very short 9 1/2 years, at which point anyone will be allowed to do anything they want with the film (and any other 1939 film).

Nobody is really talking about it, but Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine
is doing amazing acting work right now. He's playing a sullen arsonist on "Smoke" and a gregarious friend on "Dexter", killing it in both and it took me 3 weeks to figure out their both the same person. Give that guy a movie.

I was stopped at a light at Sunset & La Brea. Tyne Daly pulled up next to me and asked if she was headed to Highland Blvd. I told her she was.

(For non-L.A. folks, this was a little surprising because every Angeleno knows that Highland is 3 blocks east of La Brea.)

I'm convinced that Shea blackmailed Mr. Hollywood to pass a secret law that mandates that he appear in every movie ever produced

25 years ago today I started ZernerLaw and I could not have imagined how much fun, enjoyment and satisfaction I could have as a lawyer. A huge thank you to all of my clients who make coming to work each day a pleasure. You're the best and I'm so grateful for all of you.

I quickly print out the Complaint and get in the car and drive over to Ross. He's still there, live streaming to the world. Here's the result. As Lil TJay said, "This is some Movie Shit!

Tuesday, I get a call from my client. "Lil Tjay is live streaming from somewhere in L.A. Can you figure out where he is?" I get on Twitch and in about five minutes figure out he's at the Ross store in Sherman Oaks which happens to be about 10 minutes from my house. 2/

I had one of my greatest moments as an attorney this week. Months ago, I had filed a lawsuit against a rapper named Lil Tjay. The problem was that I couldn't serve him. We had the address for a house in Texas, but no one was ever there, and none of his reps would agree to accept service for him 1/

On August 2nd, Angelenos have the choice of seeing the new restoration of John Woo's masterpiece Hard Boiled, followed by a Q&A with Woo or going to the Hollywood Bowl to see Cynthia Erivo and Adam Lambert in Jesus Christ Superstar, and that's why L.A. is the greatest city in the world.
