Oh, And Can You Also Please Stop Making Overly Long Trailers That Are Essentially A Compressed Version Of The Entire Movie?

Dear Edwina,

Maybe I missed it, but it seems as though your vendor map is missing Kaleidoscope Film, one of Hollywood's original Trailer Houses founded by Andrew J. Kuehn who moved Kaleidoscope Films to Hollywood in 1968. 

Here is a Variety article about the beginning of the Fiber era between Kaleidoscope and Paramount in 1994 that includes quotes from then Kaleidoscope President, Steve Panama.

MonKeyArtAwards has always pursued a niche strategy (as marketing weenies like to say) focusing narrowly on print & outdoor advertising.

Our vendor map currently features a number of agencies that handle trailers in addition to print; however, if we were to include all trailer houses as well, it would add over 50 new locations to our already crowded landscape. More importantly, it would be a total pain in the ass to make those additions.

And while we’re at it, we are still miffed at how you trailer people muscled in on the Key Art Awards many years ago. They are awards for key art, for chrissake! You don’t see any of us CMYK-stained wretches sniffing around the Golden Trailer Awards now do you?

It’s The Remix To Ignition Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce

We recently came across this comment posted by Welcome Back Edwina!: "Time to move Ignition to their new combo digs. They're one big happy family now!"

Thank you for the update. At first glance at The Google's map we thought they had re-located to the hardware aisle of the Marina Del Rey Home Depot, but we see now that they are just across the street.

Welcome to Playa Vista, Ignition: Future home of DreamWorks SKG Studios!!! lol. jk. 

Making Amends

As many of you may know, we have recently been released from Cleanliness Is Next™, the world's most despotic rehab facility, located in fabulous Norwalk, California. Since part of recovery is to make amends, we have chosen to amend  Edwina Trout’s Map of Purveyors of Fine Quality Aesthetically Pleasing Entertainment Advertising with the following revisions:

The Refinery’s smooth move to Ventura & Van Nuys Blvds in Sherman Oaks “…or, in the parlance of our City-side comrades, ‘just off Beverly Glen.’” as Adam Waldman says.

The addition of Toy Box - to whom we offered our congratulations on being added to our map along with our condolences for being located in Burbank.

Oh! And don’t miss that delightful little headstone marking Cimarron’s demise. (Insert appropriate emoticon here.)
