Once upon a time in Hollywood: Itâs July 2019, and no oneâs wearing a mask. Before a huge, revved-up audience, writer-director Quentin Tarantino presents his blood-spattered sentimental ode to an industry in transition, âOnce Upon a Time ⦠in Hollywood,â in 70-millimeter screenings held at the legendary Pacific Cinerama Dome on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Youâve probably seen pictures of the Dome. Tarantino made sure it got its close-up in his movie. A cement geodesic volleyball of an LA landmark since 1963, it came from the architect who gave the world the Capitol Records building. Today, the Dome sits next door to the Sunset Boulevard Pacific ArcLight complex, which up until the COVID-19 pandemic, outgrossed just about every other boutique and specialty and art-house venue in America, depending on the movie. For years the ArcLightâs most popular location held the hearts of thousands and thousands of LA cinephiles. When it opened in 2002 the assigned-seating policy seemed fussy and strange to many, but this was a place that took films and film history and no-texting policies seriously. You never knew who youâd run into there, famous or not.
