Author Topic: Boxoffice Magazine rant Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-21-2009 01:18 PM                        I don't read Boxoffice. I've never seen your name. Well, I have now. But since I am typing in this reply box right this second, your name is not visible and I cannot remember it. But I do have a craving for some delicious bacon. PS - I liked you in Apollo 13.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-21-2009 01:30 PM                     (Joe's thinking of Kevin Bacon....) Yes, saw that section in the FEB issue and did recognize some of those posters with correct titles... Kind of a version of those old Scholastic Magazines we used to get in school moons ago that had an activity page in them. Found this to be to be refreshing to insert this in BO magazine. Keep the magic coming, for it's working. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-21-2009 03:28 PM                        Kenneth Bacon: Welcome to Film-Tech. I'm glad to see yet another person from Boxoffice on here and that you guys are really listening to our concerns/suggestions and striving to make improvements. (Don't mind Joe Redifer - we just keep him around for the laughs.)  |  IP: Logged Robert E.

Kudos to you. You echo my feelings. And how refreshing it is to see someone from your generation actually sees the faults in most multiplexes and the corporations that run them. There really is an exhibition industry outside of multiplexes.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-22-2009 02:50 PM                       Welcome, Mr. Bacon.  |  IP: Logged Bill Enos Film God Posts: 2081 From: Richmond, Virginia, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 01-24-2009 10:21 PM                     Great article Scott.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-25-2009 01:51 PM                        Agreed, excellent article by Scott and the overall issue was good too.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 02-27-2009 01:44 PM                       What happened to the search function? http://boxoffice.com/archive/ They had it set up where you could search the entire archive, now that function seems to have disappeared. You can only search the current issue, or the "featured" archive issues. ???  |  IP: Logged Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 03-06-2009 11:09 PM                     I've just read the March issue and while it's rather thin I've got to say it seems a lot easier to read (the page layouts). There are some good articles on the award winners and the Eisentraut family and its Orpheum Theatre. And the classifieds are where you'd expect them - in the back. But it seems when writers do major articles on the "industry" they don't think beyond multiplexes in major metro areas like Phil Contrino's "Communal Experience" and Kindrick MacDowell's "Digital" article. They need to find a writer who will investigate the small town and rural independent exhibitors and report on what is or can be done to improve their lot.  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 03-10-2009 01:41 PM                        quote: Robert E.

Hope to meet some of you at ShoWest next week. To answer a couple of recent questions - we are working on a great search engine for the magazine archive. But the "film-tech gang" can have access to the current clunky search. Please contact me offline and I will set it up. But we are serving up great archive content every week on boxoffice.com and every month in the magazine. We are always looking for stories and news about independent exhibitors. The BOXOFFICE Marquee Award is one way we're doing that, but you should always feel free to send tips and ideas to me or to the magazine's editor, Amy Nicholson, at amy@boxoffice.com. Thanks and I will have some more updates in the coming weeks.

They seem to be working on making it easier to read and more about exhibition. I especially enjoyed the article on the Michigan Theatre by Cole Hornaday. What a beautiful palace.  |  IP: Logged
