Shoutout to everyone out there making music, making art, and otherwise being creative. Much love and respect.
The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Thank you for coming! We were wondering if we should do more! I know the film was not for everyone but I appreciate the adventurous spirit of the audience!
In the past 36 hours I have learned that while unifying a brand is hard, allowing for artistry on a website is much harder! Shoutout to all the designers out there trying something different! โฅ๏ธ

Golden-Age Batman, pre-Robin, brandishing a gun.
A guide for which versions of Batman are cops and which ones aren't.
Golden Age Batman, pre-Robin: Not a cop, even though he shoots people. Has an antagonistic relationship with the Gotham PD.
๐ซ๐ท She was the ultimate sex symbol whose voluptuous figure and libertine lifestyle sent tremors through the straitlaced 1950s, but Brigitte Bardot soon tired of the male gaze and walked away from it all to care for animals.

Can't speak to elsewhere, but here in Wisconsin, residents age 60+ can audit pretty much any course in the entire University of Wisconsin System for free. I've taken, among others, WWI history, Irish, astronomy and virtually all the graduate math classes at UW-Milwaukee over the past decade.

My list of the 20 best films of 2025, and where to find them.
"Radu Jude isnโt merely a provocateur. Heโs a chronicler of the ways our world, and more specifically his home of Romania, has become so deeply stupid and untenable, while centering the people being pushed out to the margins." DRACULA is now playing!
Sage and her partner pointing at the marquee for a small local theater. On the first line It says โMilwaukee Film Presentsโ On the second it says โSecret Agentโ On the third it says โHamnetโ Above the Marquee it says DOWNER but the DOW lights are all out. Sage is pointing at Hamnet but her partner is pointing who knows where.
Tonight I will watch Hamnet.
Chat Iโm so pumped there are like 5 movies currently out in my local theaters that I want to see and this is the first of them.
Just when we thought our Song Sung Blue experience couldn't get any more magical, Hugh sent along a special thank you to our very own Cinema Operations Director, Petey Balestrieri and cinema staff!
Watch this musical, magical, Milwaukee story starting Chrismtas Day: mkefilm.org/songsungblue
โWaiting to Exhale,โ which premiรจred 30 years ago, marked a watershed moment in the representation of the Black professional class. It was โas much a sociological phenomenon as an artistic one,โ Niela Orr writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/_KZiQ-
Bridget Jonesโ Diary is a better Christmas movie than Love, Actually
The art of film projection can seem so foreign and it truly is incredible but at the end of the day, youโre watching film projected by people who love movies just the same way you do.
Projectionist to professional movie watcher, maybe weโre not so different after all: mkefilm.org/comingsoon

Honestly, me too! I canโt wait to see these films with these musicians!
I am SO excited for this cool show that @mkefilm.bsky.social is going to be putting on at the Oriental Theater!

Milwaukee, one year ago today
๐ฏ So, apparently our theaters can talk. And sing. And they also wrote an entire musical number explaining why weโre having an end-of-year giving campaign!
Huge thanks to our partners at Ski Team, Independent Studios, and The Electric Sun for creating this masterpiece for us: youtu.be/DUlCCLDseFU?...
Wasn't sure what to expect from SONG SUNG BLUE, but Craig Brewer's film of a Milwaukee couple's real-life love story is a disarming crowd-pleaser. As a Neil Diamond tribute act that become local legends, Hugh Jackman & a never-better Kate Hudson shine.

Milwaukee Film Brings Back Take a Seat Campaign at Oriental Theatre
Our theater the Oriental in Milwaukee initially had it in their small theaterโฆ so many people demanded to see it they moved it to the BIG theater. I absolutely loved the film, saw it twice.
