early for a Holiday Movie!", but you would be <EM>wrong-o</EM> on that
count...</FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Georgia size=2>One of the biggest Holiday hits of recent
years was the Will Ferrell movie "ELF", and it was released at this very same
time of year.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Georgia size=2>This tale of Santa's wayward older
brother has all the elements to be a Holiday favorite for the whole family!
Always-popular Vince Vaughn and one of the best character actors in recent
years, Paul Giamatti (as Santa!) with a great supporting cast including Kevin
Spacey! Great big jolly fun! </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

size=2>Many of our patrons who saw this last week were surprised at how much of
the humor was of more of a mature nature. This is not to imply there is any
smuttiness or off-color content, but some genuine wit that is over-the-heads of
the kids. Everyone also discovered this is a very funny and endearing little
film too!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>

know what a blockbuster this one turned out to be! I was telling everyone all
weekend long this would win the "Best Picture" Oscar, and I stand by that! An
incredibly absorbing film featuring two of the greatest actors in the world,
Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, and a supporting cast that is
superb.<BR>Running time: 2 hrs. 40 minutes (you'll never feel it) not
including pre-show content. BUT, NO
COMMERCIALS!! </FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma color=#0000ff size=4><U>NOTE:</U></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><STRONG>We have seen a marked increase in
people coming late because they assume there is a 20+ minute pre-show of inane
commercials and stupid public service announcements like our erstwhile
competition so insultingly subject their patrons to.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><STRONG>We don't know how to solve this
problem other than following suit and starting to degrade our image by
<EM>also</EM> showing 20 minutes of commercial trash like they
do!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff><U>We do NOT want to do
this!<BR></U>PLEASE keep in mind, for YOUR sake and enjoyment, that the MOST we
do as "pre-show content" is a classic cartoon <EM>(and not always that)</EM> and
3 or 4 previews. That is IT!</FONT></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><STRONG>It is tough to have to remember all
of this, so, just say to yourself: <EM><FONT color=#ff0000>"There are NO
ON-SCREEN COMMERCIALS at THE AVON!!"</FONT></EM> and maybe that will
help.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><STRONG>We HATE to see you come in late,
folks!!!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><STRONG>Would you rather we be like the
Carmike "McTheaters" and show commercials??<BR>We could make money by doing it,
but I would have a real problem with the desecration of our
presentation!!!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><EM><STRONG>(Something, apparently, the
"McTheaters" have no thoughts about!)</STRONG></EM></FONT></DIV>

NOTE:</U></FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT face=Arial>Some of you are already aware that I have been
having some health "issues" lately.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT face=Arial>This is something that has become vitally
important that I take care of as soon as I can.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT face=Arial>I will be having surgery sometime next week,
and will be away from the theater for at least 2 weeks.<BR><BR>In recent weeks,
you may have noticed that I have only been there on weekends, with Susan and
Ashley running things on weeknights.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT face=Arial>Please be advised that I am very much involved
"behind-the-scenes", and there is nothing happening in "Avonia" that I am not
fully made aware of.</FONT></EM></STRONG></DIV>
