I was going to get dressed up for the premiere. Oh wait. Those are my hunting clothes! hehe

The Bell e-mails me today and says, "We're going to have to cancel the Feb. 5th screenings."  Please note that we have a contract with them and we wrote them the check back in December.  We told them that we planned to make them honor the contract, and they basically said, "We're not honoring the contract... tough sh__.  We're bigger than you."  So I told them we'd be seeing them in court, and that they needed to come up with a solution.  This is their solution and what we're going to have to live with (as much as it irritates -- I hate the Bell!!!!!):

All screening dates and times stay the same -- except for the 5th.  On the 5th, the 12:30pm screening will be at Oak Street Cinema (instead of at the Bell).

309 Oak Street S.E.
Minneapolis, MN 55414
(near the intersection of Oak and Washington in Stadium Village).

The 3pm show on Feb 5th has been changed to a 5pm screening on Friday, Feb. 4th at the Bell. So the revised screening times are as follows.

What was their lame ass reason for the change?

 Oh, and hilarious Joe stealing there THX! LOL

[Edited by on Jan 18, 2005 at 01:37pm.]

You know what... I'm speechless... really.  There's an ad that ran in the PP today, and there's another ad coming out in Sunday's paper that's already been printed since it's in the Winter Carnival section.  So there will be a lot of incorrect info out there....

Would this happen in Saint Paul?  Would this happen in New York?  I'm sorry to constantly beat up on Minneapolis.  I know there are a lot of cool people who live in Minneapolis...

Their reason?  The University needs the auditorium.  What they want trumps everything else.  I sent all of this to our attorney in NYC.  He's not a nice guy.  And for the record, the Bell did not offer any financial compensation for the change.

Well that sucks.

And hey, what's with the tag line anyway?  I stold it before you did.  ;-)

Too bad they didn't at least mention it was a possibility when they were working out the deal so you could have taken that into consideration (or did they?)

There, is this better?  ;-)

Trent- I talked to Nicole H-B today after class and she was VERY excited hear that NTFCF is done and screening. She said she probably could have obtained some screening places for free for you, and it was too bad you are going through this crap with the Bell. She seemed like she was going to try and make one of the screenings, so that will be fun. She was also happy to hear you might still be moving to Minnesota!

Boo the Bell!

Very LAME!

Maybe they're the same management as McGovs?

Its funny... all of you fighting over that tag-line, lol....  if it really is the "black hole of misguided medallion-hunting dreams", does that mean that I took a leak on all of those dreams??  lol...

does that mean that I took a leak on all of those dreams?

Yes, and ares had an affair with that same dream.

I'm confused. Ares had a dream about having an affair with the frog?

It was no dream Leela

I should change my tagline to "Ive pissed on all of your dreams"... lmao

2 ?'s TT - When are you gonna post all of those pix on your site?

Are you gonna do a little speech before the screening?

Allison, you know me... do you think I would have booked the Bell if this were even a remote possibility?  Keep in mind, too, that this wasn't a booking -- we rented the theater for these dates, complete with contract and us writing a fat check back in December.  This is unconscionable.  When an entity refuses to honor a contract, your only recourse is through the courts.  The Bell could care less.  I've been on the phone all day trying to solve this problem.  A number of my Minneapolitan film friends suggested that we go after the Bell where it hurts -- their parent nonprofit MN Film Arts.  I like that suggestion.  There's also the whole issue of the Bell Museum.

I want to focus our energies on the screenings and press right now, but suffice to say, this won't be the end of this.  Wrong MFer, wrong day...

 

 

Clue Master, please take back the tag line... I'm changing mine to "See Clue Master's tag line"

Re: photos.  The photos would be up already if I didn't have to deal with so much BS.  As it looks now, I might not get to the photos until Tuesday next week.  I'll try...

Aside from you pulling a nice chunk of change out the MN Film Arts behind ....

Do you think the Bell wll get it when a few people ask to talk to the GM and say something about this?

Clue Master, please take back the tag line... I'm changing mine to "See Clue Master's tag line"

No, you can't make me, you can't make me, you can't make me.

You might wanna be careful with that Bell BS if you're going to involve the MN Film Arts.  You don't wanna burn any bridges.  You should get some compensation no matter what though.  You will definitely have some lost revenue due to the changes.  That shouldn't be hard to prove.

Thank you for fixing that O O CM.

Thank you for noticing.  I must have misspelled that word a number of times.  It's not listed when I spell check for some reason.  I need to delete that somehow.  There's no way I'm gonna find that in my personal spelling words.  There has to be over 5000 words in that thing.

Now that I'm looking at how the parking works at the U, I'm thinking that may prove to be another reason not to have used the Bell. Paying $8 for a movie is one thing, but paying $5 (maybe more?) to park your car is quite another. How do college students afford these parking rates?

I know my eldest used the bus system or his bike.  He couldn't afford the parking.

Trent - Really sorry about the Bell.  I know you'll get what you have coming and so will they.  Keep on keeping on.

its the people that work around there that pay parking. they put a tire boot on my xcel co. pickup,that was interesting...they took it off.

I also posted this over in the main forum.

Perhaps the reason your Saturday scrennings were moved out of Bell was because the Admissions Office called and said they needed it for their Saturday session.  When there are a lot of prospective students coming for tours, we need to book Bell, because we can't fit into the Williamson auditorium. 

However, usually Admissions is out of there by 11:10-11:15, so I would think a noon screening would be no problem.

It shouldn't matter who needs the space. If NAHF paid for the space and signed a contract then the Admissions Office needs to be the ones finding a space to use, not NAHF. The Bell knows the deal with this movie. Just like any other film marker who might want to show something there. This is two weeks before the date and they are trying to change things. Knowing full well that press releases have been sent and ads paid for.

Amen, OTS.  Re: MN Film Arts and burning bridges.  The biggest players in MN film are IFP MSP, and our credit is great with them.  As a matter of fact, they were my first call today, and they were incredibly helpful and supportive.

Jackie and I appreciate all of the support you guys have expressed.  Filmmaking is a long, tough road, and it really helps to know that this project is about a great tradition, a great event full of great people.  That's what has always kept Jackie and I going despite the numerous problems we've encountered on this project.  We'll survive this.  I just hate to think of some family driving an hour to see the film on Feb. 5th, and then there's no 3p.m. screening.  I really hope that doesn't happen.

But of course they are.....

Bastards!

I'm glad you posted something ESD.  I didn't realize that I posted twice back there.  Damn.  I must have tons of misspelled words in my personal spelling list.  I like the spell check feature here so I don't need to use my brain too often.  But when it doesn't catch messed up words, what good is it?  Then you can see how dumb I actually am.

Trent?

did you change something new on your website with this link?

I got an notification in my email that it is brand new....but I doubt it....oh well.
