In appropriate .
Someone needs to be fired
Or just not show up since you have plenty of notice beforehand.
On July 25th, is it THE “The Fly Boys” that was filmed here in St. George? If so, many of our local youth were used as extras. These “extras” are now mid to late twenties. Our boys were extras but by the time it hit the theater, they were off serving in Iraq and did not have an opportunity to see it. And it’s not on video.
I don’t mean to be a downer, but I’m a bit confused. Did the various cities get the appropriate authorization to show these movies? I thought that copyright laws prohibited public viewings like these without proper authorization (i.e. like the special permissions that movie theaters are required to have).
We are so glad in Santa Clara for the movie nights. Thank you, Jubilee Realty, for your service and for sponsoring the event in the Santa Clara location!
