In order to get ahead of the speculated “media fast” following General Conference in October, 6 Days will now launch on September 26th.
Here’s some really good news: A number of Cinemark theaters — in, I believe, Orem, Provo, American Fork, Draper, Midvale, Farmington, West Jordan, and Salt Lake City — will be running sneak previews of Six Days in August on the evening of Thursday, 26 September. That’s next week. Tickets for these special screenings are already on sale right now: Six Days in August – Early Access. Click on Thurs 9/26 and then click on the 7:00pm button, and you will see a seating chart.

The Executive Producer fails to include Ogden in his list. (I won’t bring up the fact that the Relief Society sister in Parowan has been forgotten once again.)

Presumably the Executive Producer will be inviting her to one of the screenings that he’s bought up, leading by example, for his family, friends, and investigators that he’s currently working with?

The Executive Producer’s caption reads: “Wilford Woodruff uses his cellphone to catch up on emails while traveling in Tennessee for ‘Six Days in August’.”

I should point out that the Executive Producer misidentifies the anachronism. Elder Woodruff is not using a cellphone.

Yes, the Relief Society sister has been a faithful supporter of FARMS, ISPART, the Maxwell Institute, and the Interpreter Foundation for years. Because she has donated so many mites to support these righteous causes, however, she is on a very limited income. I certainly hope that the Executive Producer will pick her up and take her to a showing as his special guest. (She doesn’t drive much at her age.)

I believe Joseph referred to it as the Urim & Thummim.

I am pleased to report that the Executive Producer has edited his caption to read: “Wilford Woodruff uses his tablet to catch up on emails while traveling in Tennessee for ‘Six Days in August’” (emphasis added).

LOL

I suppose technically the Nintendo Switch is a tablet, like it’s technically a computer. :lol:

I don't blame you for being pleased. It would--I imagine--being even more pleasing if he actually give you credit once in a while for catching these sorts of errors.

Doctor Scratch, I must insist that I view corrections as modest offerings intended to help build the Interpreter Foundation to become a great mountain and fill the whole earth (Daniel 2:35). I don’t expect the Proprietor to give any credit.

Incidentally, I would be remiss if I failed to point out that Elder Woodruff may have been playing a game on his tablet, such as The Legend of the Angel with a Flaming Sword, rather than catching up on emails. But we will probably never know.
