We also commiserated about seeing The Master in 70 at the Grand Lake back in 2012.
The Bay remains such an extremely cool and small place.
I was in line for coffee and heard this voice. I thought βThat dude sounds JUST like Ryan Coogler.β
I turn around, and IT IS Ryan Coogler! People were coming up and singing his praises, so I had to as well. We chatted about Skyline, Saint Maryβs, 70 mm at the Grand Lake, etc. Extremely cool dude.

You could build an incredible newsroom with just the people who have been fired or run off in the last 16 months, itβs truly insane latguild.com/news/2025/5/...
This is the third round of newsroom layoffs in as many years, and it will leave the Los Angeles Times ever more decimated. Todayβs announcement of cuts represent 6% of our newsroom staff. What was once one of the nationβs most widely read newspapers has become a shadow of its former self, our ranks halved in just three years. Although our members and their families will feel the burden of sudden job loss, they are not to blame for what led us here: a stubborn reliance on ever-declining print revenue; a leadership team without a business plan; and a subscriber exodus triggered in part by the handling of The Timesβ presidential endorsement. We urge the ownership to install a publisher from outside the organization to right the ship and build a sustainable business. We still believe in the Los Angeles Times and the important role it plays in our community. It is difficult to carry out our mission when our staff has been cut year after year. But we will continue to report and we will continue to fight β for our members, our readers, our subscribers and our city.
A total shame whatβs happening to the LA Times under the current leadership

Oddly, only as we sit still β an hour into a restaurant mealβ where are we? (the longest remark she can speak.) our answer seems to appease but did she mean: her restlessness? her wish to be back on the moving train? where impression leads to impression, where forward thrust is all? there on the train, she avoids the slowing. there on the train, she outraces the void Susan G. Duncan made her way from Kansas City to settle in California at 22. She credits her Midwestern mother with a childhood introduction to poetry, and decades later that inspiration finally emerged, cicada-like.
