have written it off because they think it is just a "chick flick", or, possibly
because it doesn't have "star power"...Let me tell you, it is much more than
just a romantic comedy. This is a heartfelt little film about love lost and
gained. We continue to give it more time in hopes that you will find
this one. I think you will be glad you did!</FONT></FONT></FONT></STRONG><FONT

SKIP</U></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>Last week I asked you to email me and tell
me how you usually receive your movie showtimes and programming
info.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>An incredible number of you
replied!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>An equally incredible number stated you
always look at this newsletter or our website!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>Another large number said they always call
our "hotline" (422-8151).</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>Hardly anyone said they looked at our
expensive newspaper ads!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3><EM>BUT, then I thought about
something...</EM></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>The survey was "tainted" because we sent it
out to all our <U>newsletter subscribers</U>!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>So, of course, THEY would all say the info
was gotten from that very newsletter, huh?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>In other words: <EM>There ain't no easy
answer,
folks!<BR></EM>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=4><U>OSCAR
COMMENTS</U></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>So, Sunday is the big Oscar
day!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>How many of you out there just said "Who
Cares?"</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>The Oscars are very quickly becoming the
<FONT size=4>"Awards for Movies Hardly Anyone Saw".</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3><EM>And that is a problem that is even
worse in communities who don't have an "Avon
Theatre"!!</EM></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><EM><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT></EM></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>We can't shoulder the blame for not playing
more of the Oscar nominees, because we only have 3 screens, and, let's face it,
THE BUCKET LIST and non-Oscar caliber films like that are what pays the
bills!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>With the length of time the studios mandate
we must hold a film, <EM>well..</EM> you do the math when you only have 3
screens to work with, and can't play more than one movie on each screen unless
you get special dispensation from the Vatican (er, I mean, <U>the studios</U>,
but you get my drift).</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=3>BUT,<EM> for those of you who care</EM>, I
will detail what I think the <FONT size=4>"Best Picture"</FONT> winner
<EM>SHOULD BE</EM>, and <EM>WILL BE</EM> (they are
different).</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><U>THERE WILL BE BLOOD</U>--Daniel

like.</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><U>ATONEMENT</U>--If you can make it
past those indecipherable English accents to know what the heck is going on, it
<EM>seems</EM> like a sad and very despairing and depressing romance.
