Author Topic: Theatre chain slogans. Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-13-2005 06:24 PM                        Now that we're discussing independents.... One of my favorite slogans is the one used by the Avon Cinema in Providence, RI: "Avon Cinema - Choice of the Discerning" At the time when I worked there, the slogan for the Williamsburg Theatre in Williamsburg, VA. was "The best in fine arts cinema, foreign films, and independent productions." I thought it was a bit too wordy. I don't know if they still use that one.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-15-2005 05:40 PM                       One of the nations first repertory theatres, The Kentucky Theatre in Lexington, had the slogan: A World of Films Until I pointed out their bad grammar. Then it was changed to: A World of Film  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-15-2005 07:31 PM                     Umm, what's wrong with "A World of Films"? --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-15-2005 09:24 PM                       It's grammatically awkward. In this case, FILM is not an object. They meant to speak of FILM as an entity, a "world"... not, "Well, we've got all these rolls of film for ya here.."  |  IP: Logged
