Talk:Kerasotes Theatres

Article Bias
The entire fourth paragraph seems to have been inserted by a possible employee or former employee. The simple opening sentence, in my opinion, justifies the tag. A company is not generally "especially known" for it's inner workings. We won't get into Enron here, though...

I relate to folks who have to work for crappy employers, but this is, after all, an encyclopedia and all those claims should be sourced.

Kerasotes decision to bar this film from his theatres made national news. Nothing in the fourth paragraph is untrue, and therefore that paragraph should be left intact. Kerasotes was unknown to most of American until his recent decision to bar this very positive film about a young man who comes to find a new way of life on the campus of "Truth University." To delete this paragraph based on its mention of this, possibly Kerasotes most widely publicized act, would be like pulling a profile of form President Richard Nixon because it mention the Watergate scandal.

Stomp the Yard is currently playing at 43 of Kerasotes' locations. The decision was made not to open it during its first week of release *only* in the Springfield (Illinois) market, due to a specific episode of gang violence there a few weeks before. That decision may be questionable, but to say that Stomp the Yard is not playing at Kerasotes is simply untrue. It opened at something like half of Kerasotes' locations on its national release date, and it is currently playing in Springfield as well. There's a controversy here, but let's be accurate about what that controversy is. Sources, please.

"Stomp the Yard" opened at my theater. We had police officers in the building at all times. I'm a ways south of Springfield, closer to St. Louis.
