    “The Empire State tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle but not until 9:25 p.m. in honor of her hit movie and song, "9 to 5." The tribute will last until 10:25 p.m.”

    Saw Independence Day at a theater right next to the Empire State Building. We saw ourselves get blown up and everyone whooped. Saw Deep Blue Sea. At the, um, extremely surprising plot twist that happens like a third of the way into the movie, everyone applauded for the movie tricking us so well.

    This is a film camera shot that dates back to 1993. We look through the Empire State Building safety barrier at midtown, with Central Park upper left. A great, pulsing, multicultural sea of humanity; two visits to NYC weren't going to be enough. Sadly, in 2025, I know I'll not visit the USA again.

    Seeing the images of the Empire State Building, lit up in pink at 9.25pm for Dolly (A tribute to her appearance in the film 9 to 5) shows me just how highly she was thought of and how deeply her passing has been felt, by so many. Just a good pure soul, in essence.

  • JK @miniver.bsky.socialBluesky · Feb 1, 2025

    Andy Warhol’s ‘Empire’ (1965) is 8 boring hours of a static camera pointed at the Empire State Building. Showings are not about watching the film, but more a themed party, a way to meet others amused to attend. It turns out that there is an internet equivalent in another film’s Letterboxd reviews.
