L.A. Area’s Movie Glow-Up Continues as Look Cinemas Takes Over Pasadena’s iPic Theater

The Los Angeles area’s movie theater renaissance is in full swing as Look Cinemas is set to take over the former iPic location at One Colorado in Old Pasadena. The dine-in theaters will reopen in December — just in time for “Dune: Part Three” and “Avengers: Doomsday” — with luxury reclining pod seating, immersive picture and sound and chef-inspired food and craft beverages delivered directly to guests’ seats. Movie Theater Chain iPic Files for Bankruptcy The iPic multiplex closed in June amid the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. The six-screen location has been in operation since 1991, first as AMC, then Laemmle and later as Gold Class luxury cinemas. “Old Pasadena has had a movie theater at One Colorado for many years, and we weren’t willing to let that story end,” said Brian Schultz, CEO of Look Dine-In Cinemas. “A local cinema is where a community comes together to laugh, cry, be inspired and share experiences. We can’t wait to welcome Pasadena back to the movies and invite everyone to make this Look cinema their favorite spot.” “One Colorado has long been a premier destination in the heart of Old Pasadena, and the cinema has been part of that experience,” said Mark

Meet the Readers Turning Santa Monica Sidewalks Into a Book Club

SANTA MONICA - Generation Z has gained a reputation as the online generation seeking offline connection. Young entrepreneurs Samantha Dockser and Morgan Messing are using social media to bring people outside through their walking book clubs. Preoccupied LA is the duo's hub for weekly book event roundups and their signature monthly book clubs on Instagram and Substack. Since launching in 2024, the platform has gained thousands of followers and expanded to include 12 book club chapters across the U.S. and Canada. Dockser and Messing met shortly before forming Preoccupied. Messing's author-focused social media company Logue Social, of which Dockser is now a partner, hosted an event and invited Dockser, who has her own social media following as a book influencer. The two hit it off and became friends, bonding over the fact that there appeared to be no centralized resource for finding book events. "There are so many book events," said Dockser, "and we were just feeling frustrated that we couldn't Google a place that would list all of them for a week." Preoccupied was their solution. As their community grew, the pair realized that they had created a group of people who might be interested in an event of

Gram Parsons celebrated in song by Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello on eve of his Rock Hall induction

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Joy and sorrow were in harmony at a musical tribute to Gram Parsons , the country-rocker who on Saturday will enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 53 years after his death at age 26. At the legendary Los Angeles-area Troubadour club, Parsons’ songs as a member of the Byrds , as a founder of the Flying Burrito Brothers and as a solo artist essential to rock's early 1970s turn toward country were performed Wednesday night by Elvis Costello , Sheryl Crow , the Black Crowes and, most important by far, Emmylou Harris . In a partnership that lasted less than two years, Parsons and Harris combined to create some of the most heartaching harmonies ever recorded. Then he died from an overdose in 1973. Before she sang a song many consider the pinnacle of that partnership, “Love Hurts,” with Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Harris said, “Gram taught me this one. We did it a lot of times.” Then she added, quietly as if to herself, “But not enough.” Harris, who had been an unknown folk singer when Parsons met her at a club in Washington, D.C., had thought she'd
