size=2>For all of you who missed this when it played the first time around, we
had a scheduling "hole" and decided since we never played it, <EM>but did
promote it</EM> (then, ended up not having the available screen for it) we
should bring it in for one of our FRI, SAT & SUN ONLY bookings. Here is
a real puzzle-type film, with an outstanding cast. It moves at a breakneck pace,
and you have to watch very carefully to put all the pieces together. This stars
DENNIS QUAID, WILLIAM HURT, FOREST WHITAKER, SIGOURNEY WEAVER & MATTHEW FOX
and even MORE!! See if you can figure it all out before the end! <BR>For those
film students of mine: This has a "Rashomon"-type of story construction. <U>That
should tell you plenty!</U> For those of you who have not the foggiest of what I
refer to, I guess you better enroll in my film classes, huh? :-)</FONT><FONT

size=3>Soooooooo, I look out my office window and it appears that Spring
has finally arrived!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=4><FONT size=3>That's right:
After all the false starts and broken promises, it really, <EM>really</EM> looks
like we have vanquished Winter again for an all-too-brief time!<BR><EM>Summer is
my favorite season, and Spring is right up there
too.</EM></FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=4><FONT size=3>Every
<U>Winter</U> I wonder why I didn't move to Tucson, Arizona when I had the
chance to buy a 6-screen theater out there about 4 years
ago...</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000>THEN, I remember THE AVON, and how
important it is to our customers and a rapidly growing downtown
resurgence!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=4><FONT size=3>So, this Spring
when you are enjoying all that nice weather, take a moment to reflect on what
Decatur was like BEFORE the Avon was re-opened those 9+ years
ago!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=4><FONT size=3><EM>It will not
be a pleasant thing to recall how terrible it was to ONLY have "the other guys"
for your movie enjoyment!!!<BR></EM><BR>Then, when you have thought about all of
that, please make sure to include THE AVON in your Springtime
plans!<BR><BR>Remember: We don't exist because of government "pork" grants, and
donations; <FONT size=4><U>we have to EARN our keep</U>! </FONT><EM>(what a
concept!)--</EM></FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=4><FONT size=3>We ONLY keep
going because YOU buy tickets and popcorn!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Tahoma color=#000000 size=4><FONT

too!</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>
