DR. DON NEWBURY
Uncle Mort, age 108, said he was ‘locked and loaded’ to give me an earful when he called recently.
Reflecting on our lengthy conversation later, I decided he had unloaded at least two “earfuls,” rapidity at 250 words per minute, with gusts to 300.
He had Olympic Games on his mind, but managed to include multiple topics during our “pow wow.”…
I never dreamed that my old uncle down in the thicket would ever become sensitive about his age, but he apparently has.
“Since I reached three digits nearly a decade ago, it seems to me column references could be to your ‘aged uncle’,” he suggested. “I never tell folks you are 83 and still trying to string words together for a column each week.”
The film industry has faced an endless stream of unprecedented challenges because of the coronavirus: Movie theaters have had to reduce public showings and private rentals, temporarily closing down to keep people from spreading COVID-19. Film studios have had to push back their biggest blockbusters or settle for releasing them on streaming platforms.
Even with similar setbacks, the historic Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff has managed to go forward with some bold plans for expansion. The downtime has given its owners and operators time to actually make it happen, they say. When COVID hit earlier this year, I was like, ‘How do we maximize our future here since we re basically down?’ says Barak Epstein, the theater s founder and co-owner of its partner company Aviation Cinemas. So when the world shut down, we put it into high gear again.
