Saturday 5/25 @ LACMA
Los Angeles fans of Stanley Kubrick discover the process behind the director's many labors of love at the first US retrospective of his work at LACMA — the site of last year's Tim Burton exhibit. Among the 1000 objects on display are a typewriter from The Shining, annotated script pages for Lolita (printed on pink paper), the iconic costume from A Clockwork Orange, and a set model of the War Room from Dr. Strangelove. Cinephiles also delight in Kubrick's more personal items: the chessboard he played between takes, a press ID badge from his time as a photographer for Look magazine in the 1940s, as well as two incomplete projects: Napoleon and The Aryan Papers. Kubrick's uncompromising vision gave him the power to re-conceive each genre he helmed — from horror to satire — and LACMA's exhibit offers fans a rare glimpse into the reclusive pioneer's cinematic masterpieces.
Coming Up
Navitat Canopy Adventures Zipline Tour
Today @ Nativat Canopy Adventures
SoCal adrenaline junkies celebrate a new source of thrills: Wrightwood's Navitat Canopy Tour. Zipline in a harness along ten aerial lines up to 1500 feet, traverse four suspended sky bridges, and rappel down three trees, all while in a gorgeous natural setting. It's a rare opportunity to soar between trees — hundreds of feet above the ground and up to 50 miles per hour — while taking in views of the San Bernardino Mountains and the Mojave Desert. This exhilarating adventure is a must-do for both local and visiting daredevils.
