Ky's respons to the lady:
Dear Ms. *%$#@!,
As the co-owner of Rialto Cinemas Lakeside it has come to my attention that you made some rather strong accusations about the print of the documentary "Winged Migration" which is currently showing at our theatre. Your e-mail prompted much communication between our theatre and Sony Pictures Classics, the American distributor of the film. The print we received was a brand new never before used print of the film. We have done nothing to edit the content of this or any other film. The licensing agreements between the distributors and the theatre specifically prevent any theatre level editing of any film. As a theatre devoted to the exhibition of independent, foreign and classic films, we place a great value on the artistic integrity of the films we show. The print of "Winged Migration" which we are showing is the exact same as the other 107 prints currently playing around the United States.
Contrary to the allegations in your e-mail, we are not getting away with anything. We are presenting exactly the film we received and exactly the film that was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. You and your friend were in no way "cheated" by the film you saw here at Rialto Cinemas Lakeside. So there is nothing to "blow the whistle" about.
Furthermore, I sincerely doubt anyone on my staff would use the word bailiwick. As a locally owned business, we take great pride in our customer service and frequently receive compliments from our patrons on how friendly, helpful and interested in film our staff is. So forgive me but I take great offense at your cavalier characterization of my staff as young people who "know nothing and care less."
Sincerely,
Ky J. Boyd co-owner Rialto Cinemas Lakeside Santa Rosa, CA
