They’ll find out if Thanksgiving strengthen the Union, as its proponents had hoped and, what relation Indians have to the holiday in reality and in myth. And ,what does football have to do with it?

To whom it may concern;
I wrote the Movie Theaters (Regal and Century) last week because “Precious” went national Friday, November 20, 2009. I live in Alaska and would enjoy watching this movie during the Thanksgiving Holiday. I asked them to please explain again why “PRECIOUS” was NOT showing in Alaska? And to Also explain why “GOOD HAIR” by Chris Rock was NOT showing in ALASKA? Regal responded that “Precious and GOOD HAIR” were both low budget movies. I found out that the movie “Paranormal Activity” was made with $11,000?

Thank you

Valerie
