I nagged and nagged Bleecker St. to hook me up with an “I S.S.” screener, and “the witness protection program of film distribution” didn’t do so much as pass on the courtesy of a reply of “No.”

Lack of faith in their product, professionalism issues with their marketing peeps? Who knows? The movie isn’t half bad and could have used a little more help in getting the word out — more reviews. But whatever.

I do love a night out at the movies at my favorite local Regal Cinema, seeing the various demos to this or that genre, jawing with the manager about what might boost the bottom line in a business that is clinging to life.

Vending machines for drinks and candy would cut wait times for those sales and speed up the popcorn/nachos line. M

Devote more space (projection booths are pretty much obsolete, etc) to vending, Mr. Manager suggests.

And then there’s nothing likek seeing “Cult Killer” with a die hard Banderas and Alice Eve crowd. Love those two, a couple of my favorite interviews ever.

I may stick around for the horror thing almost nobody has seen that’s opening. “Founders Day?” Maybe not. Let’s see how “Cult” plays out.
