I don't know if it's true now, but back then, distribitors were required to screen films to exhibitors for bidding. Because of the group, we had access to these screenings (hence the excuse that special screenings cost money was baloney. They already were screening these movies -- albeit at 10 a.m. on weekdays.) The group died because the maverick members being what they were let it die, but not before we handed out awards one year. And I got a promotion at work and stopped reviewing movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2408139579944180262.post-33819146391548823382009-02-26T09:14:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:14:00.000-05:00I've already received responses from three studios...I've already received responses from three studios about the organization.
