Still showing?

Despite your rising subscription costs, I would be very pleased, as a long-term subscriber, if some of that increase went toward giving a free Sunday subscription to your film reviewer, Mr. Joko E. H. Anwar.

Perhaps if he had an actual print copy of the Sunday paper we all receive, he might see for himself the consistent non- relationship between his two Sunday film columns (Now Showing and Still Playing) and what is actually showing in Jakarta theaters.

An easy solution would be to simply retitle his columns, say to "Showing Elsewhere" or "Left a Long Time Ago".

Note: Thank you for your comment. However, the listings in Now Showing and Still Playing are not limited to films showing at Studio 21, but also cover smaller movie theaters.
