would like to refuse to pick, if it were possible. we have one theater here that, for about five years, was owned by a small group of partners and played first run movies, limited run (artsy, period, oddball, whatever) movies, occasional old movies, and had a program of midnight cult movies.

now, due to pressures from the cinemafia, has been sold to a small chain (still not a showcase cinemas, f'rinstance) and has been pressured into the normal fare. apparently the big chains can affect what movies the smaller ones can get, using this power to push smaller houses into a niche convenient for the larger ones.
