Let me set the record straight on Mr. Reed's post. Yes we did request and updated policy trailer to include our Exhibitor of the Year Award and yes the cost was $80.00. That is the only information in his post that is true.

He sent an email asking us to pay using Pay Pal; however, it didn't have a link as to where to pay. After being notified of this post today I looked back in my records and he never sent a follow up email with a link or asking for payment. It is our policy to pay by check and invoice as to keep better records. Also we never downloaded nor played the trailer mentioned as he never sent a link as to where to download it.

As far as the statement in regards to our attitude of "It being a privilege to provide us with as service" if he feels that way great, we feel the same way. We pride ourselves with being the No 1 Independent Theatre in the Ark-La-Miss and have worked hard to achieve this status by providing the very best entertainment experience in the region and the highest level of business morals to guide our conduct. We followed through with our promise last year to promote his product via our Facebook and at the Tri-State Convention to our many friends in the industry.

We would not have survived in the poorest parish in the nation and our family would not be third generation community leaders, with me serving as the Mayor if Mr. Reeds assessment were correct.

Furthermore if anyone on this thread is a deadbeat I would say it would be Mr. Reed as he chose to blast one of the oldest operating businesses in Northeast Louisiana and Southeast Arkansas on a website rather than to pick up the telephone and call if he felt as if he was being shorted. That is how a real man and a real businessman conducts himself.

That is how the cat truly ate the cabbage.

Senator Russell K. Long once said, never get in a pissing match with a man that buys ink by the barrel. Mr. Reed I would head that advise. The strong arm of a Louisiana Politician goes way further than this website and it is not wise to take one of us on. If you happen to be driving through NELA you better be buckled up, be driving the speed limit and have all your ducks in a row as that $80.00 you are raising Cain about on this post can become a lot bigger very quickly in Small Town America.

I'm guessing the bill was never paid or Tim would have posted.
