	Phil's Blogservations Tuesday, October 12, 2004 Posted by philgomes 9:42 AM How Do You Spell "Clout?" How Do You Spell "Clout?" Does anyone have any stories of this happening in the technology world? I'm sure it has, but I can't think of any offhand right now. From the article: Yesterday my esteemed colleague, Daily News film critic Jack Mathews, was in the crowd at the Broadway Screening Room in midtown — watching the Lions Gate release "Eulogy," which opens Friday — when the projectionist summarily halted the movie. An apologetic publicist explained to the annoyed critics that because the announced 10:30 a.m. screening had started 20 minutes behind schedule, they couldn't show the final reel, because it would prevent a noon screening of Miramax's "Shall We Dance" from starting on time. "There were about 25 to 30 people in the room, all of us equally bewildered," Mathews told me, noting that screenings seldom if ever start on time. "I said to the publicist, 'Whose fault is it?' She said something about Miramax, whose movie I assume was coming up. But when I pressed her to tell me who's sitting out there who can't wait, she said it was The New York Times' Stephen Holden." Seeing as how Eulogy is supposed to star one of my favorite actresses, I guess I'd be bent too.
