On Oct. 24 I'll be publishing my Substack article about the Google Cinema Club. It is still going even with the pandemic, but when I did it, up to July 2017, it was in-person with a DVD in a big conference room on the Mountain View campus.
I still had a "projectionist." Getting the video and sound right in a room that was built for meetings and not for movies was an art in itself, and I hope I can get Craig to write about how he did it.
But yeah: not the same as real 35mm.
- mmastrac 4y agoDid the MPAA rake you guys over the coals for licensing fees given Google's size?

- mmastrac 4y agoI don't really do substacks, but I'll take that as a yes, hah.
- AlbertCory 4y agoThe thing's already written, and licensing is a major topic, so I don't want to spill it all now.
- ljf 4y agoHey, just ended up reading some of your posts there - really enjoyed them, thanks for sharing.
- AlbertCory 4y agoYou're welcome, and thanks! The last one ("My Summer of Nixon and Watergate") got flagged when it was still New, purely because of its title! Some people are SO easily triggered. I called it "Nixon, the Trump of 50 years ago" which is pretty accurate, if you know your history. Everyone hated him and he was brought down by his own hubris and evil. But no! The mere title was enough.
- ljf 4y agoReally enjoyed the draft story, I need to put you on my reading list. Keep it up you have a great writing style and have obviously lived an interesting life!
