Madstone Followup

A day after the movie theater article and we note with dismay that Madstone Theaters' website continues to suffer "technical difficulties".

Madstone's site offers no email addresses or phone numbers. (This is a company that's clearly not a signatory of the Cluetrain Manifesto.) Still, some emails from nettle.com must have gotten through, because they didn't all bounce. :-)

So the countdown begins. How many days will it take for Madstone to reply? We'll let you know.

Wait. It gets worse. It's 6:30pm and we just called the Madstone Theaters recorded information phone number (thanks to Yahoo). The woman in the recording starts out describing the "free weekend" (August 9-11) and proceeds to read off all of the showtimes that are all now obsolete and in the past. She then mentions that after the free weekend, Madstone Theaters San Diego will be hosting the Cine Mexicano Film Series. The recording clicks and suddenly there's a man's voice, also describing the festival. There's only one problem. He proceeds to say "the following showtime information is for March 11th only." We didn't wait to find out what year.
