The new slogan on the marquee of the Garden Theater:THE RETURN OF THE GARDEN
DIRECTED BY LUKE RAVENSTAHL
According to Diana Nelson Jones, the city rejected at least 44 other ideas (if you take the literal interpretation of adding "dozens" to "another score") submitted by neighborhood residents and P-G readers, because none of them adequately marketed the property to potential investors.
In other words ... again with his name on stuff.
Comet readers wise in the ways of Photoshop are invited to superimpose Mayor Ravenstahl's image (if you can find one) onto a movie poster -- perhaps a "Garden style" movie. The winner will get to write a new subheading on the Comet title banner, unless we don't like your idea.
Boy, we could be treading some murky water here. Porn and Politics? It's just begging for a movie title like, "MLR, doing to the city what actors used to do onscreen" or "I Lick Luke: Burkle's Babes" or......like I said, it's dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI think the rejection of so many suggestions from neighborhood residents and PG readers symbolizes, in some respect, the "Grant St vs Main St" slogan.
Ugh....
ReplyDeleteDo you think even Luke is starting to find this shit ridiculous?
Actually, I'm quite sure this all must be fueled by more than sheer vanity; this is textbook cult-of-personality building. All for the betterment of the city.
ReplyDeleteBranding! Muychendizing! You're gold, baby; pure, liquid political gold!
Pretty soon we'll be seeing Che like T-shirts of Luke in his revolutionary garb...and full wall size murals of Luke with the oppressed...and statues of Luke all over the city...and daily radio broadcasts over loud speakers placed throughout the neighborhoods....Viva Luke
