Does anyone have any information yet about when and where it is playing in Atlanta? I've called around to a few of the usual suspects and no one seems to know anything about it.
I just got back from today's 10:30am showing of Lawrence at the Ziegfeld. Showmanship was just lame: I just *knew* they'd run the damn advertising slides and "Lite-FM" music prior to the movie, which meant leaving the curtain open. Then they actually ran the awful kinescope commercials for Mountain Dew and others! And a handful of trailers that were inappropriate. They just have no idea of how to properly present a film. At least the curtain closed when the overture began, but I didn't think they'd be so dumb as to have the slides and music come back on during the intermission - which meant keeping the curtain open! Inept fools...Oh man, that really bites. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a movie screen being used as a freaking billboard. I guess that's one more reason I should be thankful for the Senator.
