Showest is over
Showest has been downgraded, devalued, etc. Nikki Finke reported this a few days ago, and now N.Y. Times reporter Sharon Waxman has done the same. And by George, I think we've got it. "Mass events at places like ShoWest have been replaced by one-on-one contact with the exhibitors responsible for the lion’s share of American cineplexes, like AMC, Regal and Cinemark," Waxman writes. "Studio executives say they can cover most of the country with a few phone calls or a visit to an exhibitor’s headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., or Knoxville, Tennessee."

That's impossible. Ed Douglas says ShoWest is better than ever!

But the LOS ANGELES TIMES is really covering it this year with the reverence you used to see in Roderick Mann's celeb interviews from long ago [a remark that shows my age].

Where did I say that, Drew?
Oh, wait... I forgot that you're a Hollywood screenwriter now, not a journalist. You must be taking what they call "artistic license."

Maybe he's feeding off my Sundance comment. Now I'm gonna break it to DP, that his Daily Dave's aren't working, as Devin's mentioned -- not that I know any of ya's. The T stands for terror.
