Oak Street Cinema for Sale

I Lost it At the Movies...

Peter Scholtes has a rather depressing article over in City Pages about the Oak Street Cinema being put up for sale by the Minnesota Film Arts.

I would love to be in a position to buy this place. I would install Al Milgrom as El Presidente for Life and give him carte blanche to program the place as he saw fit. The man is a genius when it comes to finding obscure gems from the world's cinema.

I have many fond memories of this place. I saw some of my friend's films premiere here. I saw Elliot Gould give a Q & A about working with Robert Altman on "The Long Goodbye" one of my all time faves.

I certainly hope that whatever happens Al lands on his feet...like he always does!
