    I used to rent cars from a local car rental ( go figure), who not only had on display a pristine 1979 chevette with only 3500 miles, but had an autographed Why Store poster in the office.

    And they put the really important message on the left side.

    "40 oz To Freedom" should have been front and centre.

    It has been years since I set foot in this place but I think this is one of the few theaters in MI where you can buy beer inside. Correct me if I am wrong. My memory is probably hazy.

    Correct. They do a "veiw and brew".

    They could have compromised, and shown 'It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'.

    Yeah. Given a down economy in a depressed area, there's nothing like a little closed-minded chastising of the single biggest potential customer pool you'' see all year. Idiots like that shouldn't be in business.

    If that's my theater, I'm running "Transformers 1 & 2" as a matinee, and inviting some GM enthusiasts to set up camp. Or reaching for wider appeal with any number of Jalop-friendly screen gems.

    'Course maybe I'm the idiot, and he has it right, because Douche of the Year is an award worth coveting?

    All the millions of dollars the Dream cruise is pouring into the city. Pretty stupid marquee in my opinion.

    Wow, they should be delighted that ANYTHING is moving in Detroit and drawing a crowd.

    On the other hand, that kind of attitude is easily cured with a cocktail or two. Molotov, that is.

    The Detroit News link just comes up to a blank page, so I couldn't read the backstory.

    But... I assume the crowds of the dream cruise run off all their business, no?

    If so, why don't they run movies like Vanishing Point, Bullit, Two Lane Blacktop, Ronin, etc.?

    I would think folks from the cruise wanting a couple hour break from the heat would fill that theatre up.

    I can't help but feel that they misplaced something here, but no, it's probably intentional.
