I really wanted to see it in the dome. Now I want to see it again. Sorry Hipcheck.

I saw both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Hateful Eight in the Dome!!! I feel fortunate!

EDIT: Now that I think about it, I believe I saw The Revenant and Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the Dome, and The Hateful Eight in one of the other Arclight auditoriums (but it was the Roadshow version at least).

Zack Snyder Wants to Make a Movie about George Washington in the Style of ‘300’
http://collider.com/zack-snyder-george-washington-movie-300/

He has a picture in his office of the Revolutionary War hero crossing the icy Delaware on his way to decimate the British in the Battle of Trenton. “We were talking about it,” Snyder says. “The first thing we asked was, well, how are we going to make it look? I pointed at this painting. It looks like 300. It’s not that hard.”

This is...HISTORY!!!!!!

And that’s Snyder in a nutshell: take the artistry of someone else and find a way to translate it to motion pictures. I sometimes honestly wonder if Sndyer would still have become a phenomenon and credited as a visual wunderkind if he wasn’t standing on the shoulders of Frank Miller or Dave Gibbons. What’s the line between inspiration for Snyder and wholesale using someone else’s framing, color palette, etc. and then translating it from a 2D to a 3D medium? Does it matter?

In Defense of Kevin Smith’s ‘Tusk’
http://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3378731/in-defense-of-tusk/

It’s no secret that hating on Kevin Smith seems to be the cool thing to do nowadays (even more cool than hating Eli Roth). Many of his “fans” claim he hasn’t made a legitimately good movie since Chasing Amy in 1997. I would argue that Dogma, Clerks II and Zack and Miri Make a Porno are all winners, but what do I know? Hell, I even like certain things about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Jersey Girl (it’s really not that bad).

Michael Mann Plotting 'Heat' Prequel Novel

Deadline reports that the director is launching Michael Mann Books, which, as the title suggests, will be a company dedicated to the printed word. And one of the first projects in the works is a prequel novel to "Heat," one that will focus on the early years of the characters in the film including Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer), and Nate (Jon Voight), and presumably establish even more of their histories together.

There's no word yet on who will exactly write the book, but the idea is that Michael Mann Books will have a crew of scribes on hand who will both tackle novels and develop concepts for movies and television. So yes, a prequel film or TV series to "Heat" is certainly a possibility.
