We have had several weeks since Labor Day of poor ticket sales. We are just idling along. It is interesting that we have been doing double the business of a local 5-plex and a local 6-plex. We are waiting for them to go away.
We were running,
Margaret Chow in I'm the One that I Want.
An Iranian film called The Wind Will Carry Us.
A French film called Alice and Martin.
A German film called Aimee and Jaguar.
Another French film called Girl on the Bridge that actually made us some good money.
Chutney Popcorn that manages to combine an Indian family, Lesbianism and Motherhood into one film.
And Steal this Movie! which is about Abby Hoffman but it failed to spark any interest.
It's time to clean out the cobwebs of summer and get in to this film thing. We are opening 4 new films this week.

Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire, Winner of the discovery Award, Toronto Film Festival 1999. You begin to wonder about films like this while you are changing the marqee.
Psycho Beach Party, Fun, Fun, Fun! Till your Drag Queen takes the surfboard away.
Phish, Bittersweet Motel, Phish is the most revered band in America now that the Grateful Dead are gone. And they have made a documentary film about their concert experience.
