'Thousands of movie fans are planning to explore both the neon pink world of “Barbie” and the complicated mind of J. Robert Oppenheimer on the same day.

Thousands of AMC Stubs members have bought tickets for both films on the same day ahead of their premieres on July 21.

“That more than 20,000 moviegoers have already made plans and purchased tickets to see Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same day is a great sign that the growing online conversation around seeing both of these incredible films is turning into ticket sales,” Elizabeth Frank, executive VP of worldwide programming and chief content officer at AMC Theatres told Variety this week.

Though, according to Variety, how the number compares to average purchase rates is unclear.

Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" — starring Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and Emily Blunt — is a three-hour epic thriller about the American physicist and his role in developing the atomic bomb during World War II. "Barbie," directed by Greta Gerwig, is a comedy about the life of Barbie (Margot Robbie) and Ken (Ryan Gosling) in Barbie Land and their journey to the real world.

The double feature of the contrasting blockbusters has become an internet phenomenon known as, “Barbieheimer,” with fans creating their own black-and-pink memes, apparel and movie posters of the two films.

The Avon Theatre Film Center in Stamford is screening the two films starting on July 20 and pre-sale tickets are selling faster than normal, Louisa Greene, director of marketing and development for the theater, said.

"There's a lot of buzz [and] a lot of excitement from Avon patrons about both films," she said.

The Avon is hosting its own Barbie and Ken costume contest for theatergoers at its 5:20 and 7:45 p.m. "Barbie" screenings on July 20, during which attendees will enter on a mini-red carpet and present their costumes the judges. The winners from each screening will win the theater's bronze membership package: free movies for a year for two people. The theater will also have a 3 p.m. screening that day.

The venue is also partnering with the Greenwich International Film Festival for a screening of "Oppenheimer" at 7 p.m. that evening, she said.

Greene believes the two divergently different films share qualities that appeal a wide range of movie fans. Both have big-name directors and casts, she said. "Oppenheimer" is a historical drama about events that are still relevant today, while "Barbie" is a comedy that could spark nostalgia among viewers, she said.

Warner Brothers predicts that "Barbie" will see a $70 to $80 million opening at the box office, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Universal Studios is tracking around $40 million for the "Oppenheimer" debut.

Prospector Theater in Ridgefield is also hosting screenings of the two films on July 20 and it has sold most of the tickets for both events, Ren Burkardt, the theater manager, said.

"The weekend is already looking like it's picking up as well. People are very excited," she said.

The theater employees plan to decorate the lobby pink that weekend and dress up in Barbie-themed outfits, Burkardt said. KC 101 radio station will also stop by from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday to give away items, she said.

In partnership with The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, the theater will host a live virtual conversation right before the "Oppenheimer" screening with artist and director Bryan McGovern Wilson and artist and curator Richard Klein. The two will discuss Wilson's "Oppenheimer Ghost" exhibit, a replica of Oppenheimer's hat that is positioned in uranium glass, the event description says. The exhibit will be on display in the museum until Aug. 27, according to the museum.

"I just want to encourage everyone to come to the movies. The experience is completely different in person with friends and family and all the excitement of a busy lobby than anything else," Burkardt said.

National movie theater chains with venues in Connecticut also have special deals for the two movies. AMC Theatres is offering Stubs members the chance to win a Barbie-themed vacation and bonus points for those going to see "Oppenheimer." AMC has locations in Norwalk, Stamford, Trumbull, Danbury, Plainville, Southington and Lisbon, according to its website.

Cinemark is currently selling "Barbie" movie merchandise in theaters. These items can include beach ball cups, a popcorn tin and blanket, according to the theater chain's Instagram. Cinemark theaters are located in Enfield, Manchester, Milford and North Haven.'

Currently at Gagosian in NYC is Helen Frankenthaler’s Drawing within Nature: Paintings from the 1990s. The exhibition includes twelve paintings and two large scale works on paper.

From the press release-

My pictures are full of climates, abstract climates, and not nature per se. But a feeling. And the feeling of an order that is associated more with nature. Nature in seasons, maybe; but nature in, well, an order. And I think art itself is order out of chaos. —Helen Frankenthaler

Frankenthaler’s celebrated 1952 composition, Mountains and Sea, was the first of her soak-stained canvases and was highly influential in the development of 1960s Color Field painting. By the 1970s, though, she had amplified her methods to include the expressive possibilities of surface inflection and density. Over the course of the 1980s, highly painterly canvases became her principal pictorial means, soon resulting in, during what would be her final decade, canvases of the greatest dramatic impact of her entire career, some of an unexpectedly large size.

Drawing within Nature features works dating from 1990 through 1995, made following Frankenthaler’s paintings retrospective which opened in 1989 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Composed in her studios in New York; Stamford, Connecticut; and Santa Fe, New Mexico—where she held a summer teaching residency at the Santa Fe Institute of Art in 1990 and 1991—these abstractions are inspired by the artist’s experience of landscapes.

Works in the exhibition include Poseidon (1990), more than eight feet wide, which calls on qualities of Frankenthaler’s earlier soak-stained canvases to evoke ocean currents, with its wet-on-wet passages of aqua, white, and green. The even larger Stella Polaris (1990) sets streams and patches of dense cloudlike white paint beneath the starlight of its title. Western Roadmap (1991) transforms the desert rock and glowing sunsets of the American Southwest into a stratified abstraction that hangs within an almost nine-foot-wide panorama. Reef and Spellbound (both 1991) lay out washes of rich, glowing color of varying density across dark grounds. The verdant hues of The Rake’s Progress (1991) suggest a garden in bloom, and show how Frankenthaler began to use gel to thicken her paint as well as combing and raking tools to create tracks bearing the imprint of the energy passing over the surface.

Painted a few years later, in acrylic on large sheets of paper, Flirt and Aerie (both 1995) are less grounded in memories of landscape vistas. Rather, their open, cursive forms invoke vividly colored and magnified details of drawing within nature.

This exhibition closes 4/22/23.

We went to the Merry-To Round Museum

History

The doors to the Merry-Go-Round Museum opened to the public on July, 14, 1990 but the idea was born on October 1, 1988 when the U.S. Postal Service issued four carousel stamps. Paul Calle of Stamford, Connecticut designed the first set of stamps. One of the featured animals was from Cedar Point’s Kiddieland carousel. The first day issue ceremony was held at the Sandusky amusement park.

The block of stamps included a Gustav Dentzel deer (ca. 1895), Charles Looff goat and camel (ca. 1880), and the King Armored horse by Daniel Muller (ca. 1925), The King horse is from Cedar Point’s Kiddieland carousel. This particular King horse is considered to be one of the rarest and most beautiful of all carousel figures.

To make the first day issue special, a group of local citizens borrowed the vacant former Sandusky Post Office and gathered together a wonderful carousel display to celebrate the Cedar Point horse as well as other figures.

The group hoped for a few hundred visitors, but surprisingly more than 2,000 came from across the nation to share the joy of carousels. In the following months a non-profit corporation was formed with the mission, “to preserve and promote the art and history of the carousel.”

The corporation purchased the unique post office building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places and preserving the building became part of the mission. The Corporation received a 501 c (3) status and fund raising began soon after.

The Merry-Go-Round Museum display artifacts that add to the public’s awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of the history of the carousel. Dentzel carving shop tools are a permanent exhibit, along with a working woodcarving shop, and the museum’s own machine, (circa 1939 Allan Herschell Corporation). The museum continues to seek artifacts from amusement parks, carnivals, and private individuals, and encourages long and short-term loans of memorabilia and antiques from earlier periods of the amusement and carousel industry.

Neon Lights

Radiant Revival: Neon Signs As Timeless Statements of Style!

Neon signs uniquely transport us to a different era, tapping into our collective nostalgia and evoking a sense of timeless charm.

With their vibrant colors and retro aesthetics, these illuminated artworks have become iconic symbols that continue to captivate and inspire in today's digitally driven world.

In this article, we explore neon signs' enduring appeal, historical significance, cultural impact, and continued role in advertising, branding, art, and popular culture.

History of Neon Signs

Neon signs have been lighting up the night since the early 1900s. A French chemist, George Claude, invented them in 1910.

At first, neon signs were only used for outdoor advertising, but soon, they became popular in businesses and home décor.

The first neon sign comprised two glass tubes filled with neon and other gases. When electricity was applied to the tubes, they glowed bright red. Soon, yellow, green, blue, and purple colors were added to the mix.

Neon signs were favored because of their long-lasting bright glow and low cost of production.

They quickly gained traction in bars, restaurants, theaters, and other places businesses wanted to stand out. As time passed, more companies began installing neon signs to attract customers.

Cultural Significance of Neon Signs

Neon signs are unique in popular culture, often associated with specific periods and movements.

Their bright, glowing colors symbolize energy, fun, and optimism, making them perfect representations of the spirit of particular eras.

During the 1950s and 1960s, neon signs played a crucial role in the rise of American diner culture, becoming an integral part of the nostalgic diner experience that continues to thrive today.

Neon Signs in Advertising and Branding

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, neon signs have long been powerful tools in advertising and branding. The eye-catching glow and distinct visual appeal effectively attract customers and create brand recognition.

From iconic Coca-Cola signs to neon-lit logos of famous brands, these signs are synonymous with quality and authenticity, offering businesses a unique way to showcase their personality and style.

Neon Signs in Art and Design

The versatility of neon as a medium has allowed it to transcend commercial origins and find a place in art and design.

Many artists use neon's vibrant glow and unique properties to create stunning works, ranging from large-scale installations to delicate sculptures.

Neon signs have become integral to contemporary art, inspiring and provoking thought in museums, galleries, and public spaces.

The Process of Creating Neon Signs

Crafting a neon sign involves careful design, bending glass tubes into the desired shapes, and filling them with noble gases.

When an electric current is applied, the ionization of gases results in light emission, with the color depending on the gases used and additional coatings on the glass tubes.

Maintaining and Repairing Neon Signs

Like any artwork, neon signs require regular maintenance and occasional repairs to continue shining brightly.

Skilled technicians specializing in neon sign repair are crucial to preserving these iconic pieces.

With proper care, neon signs can maintain their vibrant glow for many years, contributing to their timeless appeal.

Neon Signs in Popular Culture

Neon signs have become deeply ingrained in popular culture, representing various themes and emotions.

In movies, they are often used to set the mood, adding glamour to scenes or creating visual contrasts in dark settings.

Where to Find and Purchase Neon Signs

For those looking to add a touch of nostalgia and retro charm to their space, various places offer neon signs.

Considerations such as size, design, and placement are crucial when choosing a neon sign to complement your space and reflect your style.

You can buy neon signs at

Conclusion:

In a constantly evolving world, Neon lights signs offer a nostalgic glimpse into the past while maintaining relevance in the present.

Their vibrant colors, retro aesthetics, and timeless charm make them more than illuminated works of art—they are a testament to the enduring power of design, creativity, and human ingenuity.

Neon signs remind us of simpler times, evoke wonder and excitement, and create warm and welcoming atmospheres wherever they are displayed.

Gjon Mili (November 28, 1904 – February 14, 1984) was an Albanian photographer from Korçë who developed his profession in America, best known for his work published in Life, in which he photographed artists such as Pablo Picasso.

Biography

Born to Vasil Mili and Viktori Cekani in Korçë, in the Manastir Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire (present-day Albania). Mili spent his childhood in Romania, attending Gheorghe Lazăr National College in Bucharest, and migrating to the United States in 1923. In 1939, Mili started to work as a photographer for Life (a position he held until he died in 1984). Over the years his assignments took him to the Riviera (Picasso); to Prades, France (Pau Casals in exile); to Israel (Adolf Eichmann in captivity); to Florence, Athens, Dublin, Berlin, Venice, Rome, and to Hollywood to photograph celebrities and artists, sports events, concerts, sculptures and architecture.

Working with Harold Eugene Edgerton of MIT, Gjon Mili was a pioneer in the use of stroboscopic instruments to capture a sequence of actions in one photograph. Trained as an engineer and self-taught in photography, Gjon Mili was one of the first to use electronic flash and stroboscopic light to create photographs that had more than scientific interest. Many of his images revealed the intricacy and flow of movement too rapid or complex for the naked eye to discern. In the mid-1940s, he was an assistant to the photographer Edward Weston.

In 1944, he directed the short film Jammin' the Blues, which was made at Warner Bros., and features performances by Lester Young, Red Callender, Harry Edison, "Big" Sid Catlett, Illinois Jacquet, Barney Kessel, Jo Jones and Marie Bryant. Mili did not serve as cinematographer for the film (Robert Burks did) but the film used multiplied images that in many ways recall the multi-image still-frames done with the strobe. The imaginative use of the camera makes this film a minor landmark in the way that musicians have been filmed.

Over the course of more than four decades, thousands of his pictures were published by Life as well as other publications.

Mili died of pneumonia in Stamford, Connecticut, at the age of 79.
