I was criticized by some for leaving “negative” commentary regarding the programming incident involving “The Uninvited” in March. Credibility to those or any other comments on this site is only earned when they are objective and balanced. It is important to report when things go smoothly as well as when there are mishaps. So to be fair, I too want to acknowledge the excellent presentation this past weekend with “The Lion In Winter” and “Journey to The Center of The Earth”. The weekend featured quality prints and gracious guests. The weekend film series was executed extremely well.
My comments were to explore WHY what took place had occurred. The only way errors can be prevented in the future is to honestly look into why they happen, not to ignore them, gloss over them or pretend they did not occur. If that in itself is negative or not to be taken seriously, so be it. I also stated twice the Loew’s was well worth supporting. Nice of you to ignore that portion. Why does it matter when I registered? Yes it was after the Friday show. Am I to write about the mix-up before it happened? It appears it may be you that has some sort of protect-at-all-cost agenda. I think The Loew’s is a treasure. I also happen to think Friday’s mishap was an unnecessary blunder. That’s all. Let’s move on.
Obviously there was a mix up. My point was it appears those running The Loew’s didn’t bother to conduct the most basic research to determine if a print of the 1944 version of “The Uninvited” even existed before advertising that they were screening the film. Reportedly, a new print is now being struck by Universal confirming no print was available for screening. I believe it was stated from the stage they were unaware of the 2009 release of the film with the same title. If your responsibility is booking films and you’re in the movie theater business, how is that possible? Again, please don’t misunderstand, the place is well worth one’s support, this instance just makes one question the competency of those booking movies there.
Hi…I was at the theatre Friday and heard the explanation given from the stage for the error in unable to show the scheduled title. I just want to be clear on this…Universal is now striking a print of the 1944 version of “The Uninvited”…meaning The Loew’s advertised the screening of a film for which there was no print in existence? It’s a great venue and deserving of support, but clearly the people responsible for programming have little or no film savvy. Is it asking too much to do some very basic research?
