Here's what we know so far about when and where the beloved Vidiots video store will make its comeback — plus, photos of the new location.
Via email from Greece, where Johnson is in production on a sequel to “Knives Out,” Longworth explained why the couple specifically wanted to make a public matching gift, noting, “I want Vidiots to remain independent of corporate control, but that means that instead of relying on one large sum, they need a lot of people to help out any way that they can.
“And I feel very strongly that this isn’t just about our four walls and our existence,” Mackay continued. “If we can do this here, if we can make this project live here, this can be done in other places. And especially in places around the country that have even less access to the film arts than we have.”Mackay also noted that recently two Eagle Rock sixth-graders put up a lemonade stand and raised some $300 for the venue.
Vidiots was founded in 1985 by native Angelenos and childhood friends Patty Polinger and Cathy Tauber. The duo had long seen their store as much as a community hub as a simple transactional place of business. Over the years they hosted events such as a birthday party for filmmaker Russ Meyer, a polka party for documentarian Les Blank, a symposium for director Charles Burnett and a book signing for musician John Doe.
“It does feel like Santa Monica, 1985,” said Tauber. “It does have that feeling. And it seems like the perfect spot.”

Armin Laschet, the candidate of Merkel's center-right Union bloc to be Germany's next leader, is also the governor of North Rhine-Westphalia state — one of two badly hit by last week's floods. On Saturday, he visited the town of Erfstadt, which was the scene of a dramatic rescue effort after the ground gave way, with President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
