The moviegoing landscape in Los Angeles has been a little sadder without the return of the shuttered Arclight, but two of LA’s savviest cinephiles are hoping to do something about it. Director Rian Johnson and Karina Longworth, author and creator of the beloved “You Must Remember This” podcast, are pledging $100,000 as founding members of Vidiots, the iconic LA video store and nonprofit film organization. Vidiots is currently undergoing a nine-month renovation at the historic Eagle Theatre in the Eagle Rock neighborhood. Their gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000 through September 17.
“Given the recent demise or transformation of some of our most beloved places for moviegoing in Los Angeles, it feels more urgent than ever to celebrate and support the rebirth of Vidiots. We hope you’ll join us in helping the women of Vidiots build an inclusive shrine to movies — both projected in a community setting, and preserved on physical media,...

Rooster Teeth has a new series within a series set to take advantage of one of the biggest entertainment events of the last decade. The Fullscreen-owned Austin production company will run the sketch comedy and Star Wars spoof series Troopin’ starting November 2015 during its Colton Dunn-hosted show Rooster Teeth Entertainment System (Rt-es).
Created by Lamar Woods and Dunn (who also stars in Rooster Teeth’s recently-premiered feature film Lazer Team), the series-within-a-series Troopin’ introduces viewers to a black stormtrooper named Darnell (played by Ify Nwadiwe) and his wife Shonda (Ashanti Brown). It's set to explore how the hardest part of Darnell's job is dealing with life, love, and his Jedi neighbors (and, surprisingly, not ignorant individuals who were up in arms over the casting of John Boyega as a black stormtrooper for Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens).
"Troopin’ is inspired by old school sitcoms like Good Times and What's Happening,...
