Solved - but I do not consider this a good puzzle at all - least of all a featured one. Guaranteed that less than 10% of all the people in the world have even heard of this movie. Just my opinion.
It's not a challenge if you have to look it up on google and IMDB. Besides, the last picture is not a very cool way of coming up with the last part of the answer. - Think about it.
It's a brand new movie that they have been advertising on TV for a month! I don't go to first run movies and I don't watch much TV but I got it in a little over a minute.
Give her a break. There have been far worse cryptopi (plural for cryptopix?) than this.
Criticism isn't bad. Who *doesn't* need it? We can all improve.
Having said that, criticism isn't a license to be a classless turd. It is possible to objectively offer a little negative feedback without getting personal.
Philana, I can't say this was my favorite puzzle of yours, but I thought it was fairly clued. The "T" might have been a bit of a red herring (perhaps "blue" it out rather than use white).
[22][27] I apologize for what appears to be a "T" in that motel logo. My intention was to provide an additional hint by showing that the motel chain has a two-word name with the first word considerably longer than the second.
EDIT: I have changed the picture to block out individual letters, to eliminate the apparent "T".
I personally got the puzzle quickly, and felt it was entertaining. The subject matter has been advertised heavily of late, and I don't understand why people who have themselves published _0_ puzzles feel they have the right to vaguely state that they have a better way of doing things than the puzzle creator, who in this case has published 45 puzzles here to date.
Pfaugh. Either share your "better" idea, which at least gives us the chance to validate whether there's anything other than rudeness and hot air behind your vague boast, or save our time and pixels- maybe go catch a movie, since you apparently don't get out much.
I didn't like it. [29] quit whining. Either we will like a puzzle or not. Your pseudo intellectualizing will not make it so. I see a movie every weekend and have solved many puzzles and I have never heard of this movie. So give the puzzle solvers the benefit of the doubt to either like it or not.
dude....it's a puzzle....relax....just cause you don't know the answer quickly doesn't mean it's a good/bad puzzle...good heavens...a bunch of whiners...
[21] Even more classy! You silently edit out the snottiness. S'okay, we saw it. Good to know you can't be trusted to leave the record or truth intact.

Kept looking for a motel chain that started with "T". No wonder I couldn't get it =P

[21] That's what I like to see; creators getting snotty about being called on a weak puzzle. Classy!

Trivia (salty, but not by much): The model for the statue is Dante Alligheri of "Divine Comedy" fame.

[24] I didn't see the puzzle poster as being rude at all, they simply stated they were sorry the others didn't like the puzzle.
I agree with the others that were saying the movie has been HIGHLY advertised as late.
Nice puzzle, Philana, keep 'em coming.
Oh, and WTG, Joodles!! Welcome to the fun.
