Marshall and the Movies

Today’s factoid will again be building off the revelation of my former days of cutting the movie ads out of the newspaper and plastering them across my wall.

My favorite day of the year, in regards to movie ads, was the day of the Holiday Preview Edition.  On this day, the studios run page after page after page of full-page, color ads for their best movies of the holiday season.  I knew the general time frame of this edition, but I never knew for sure.  When I slipped the New York Times out of its blue bag on the right Sunday morning, it was like hitting the jackpot.
