I don't think showing second run art house films that didn't have a decent original run at the Midtown or Tara is going to do the trick. It also doesn't help that on two recent occasions when I tried to see a movie here (Day Watch was one, can't remember the other) I was turned away because "the film projector was having problems."

That's a strange rumor for a disgruntled employee to start, seeing as the reaction of the few that I've talked to is to run straight to the Plaza and hand them wads of dough. To be fair, we telephoned and received no answer. We did not email because we are irresponsible. Our staff will still be there tomorrow night at 9:30 for Blade Runner if anyone else is game. Oh phew.
