Bloomberg didn't sponsor this free movie in the park, a new mega-entertainment corp did. And this chalk writer would begrudge them a few kiosks? Imagine when the writer discovers (if he/she attended) that his/her free image can be used to promote this new venture!
Does it matter if it's sponsored? Who else is going to pay for it? These movies are a lot of fun and I could care less if the people throwing it have a ton of money. At least they're providing something free for the neighborhood that brings people together for a good time.
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

I agree with the graffito.
Does every damned thing have to be turned into a garish marketing nightmare? The whole neighborhood has gone middle class.

MIDDLE CLASS! Oh no! You mean there are people who work hard and are neither rich nor poor?
