I’m a demographics hound, so this is one I really love and I think you’ll find it very interesting as well – particularly if you live or around one of the cities examined.  Looking at movie demand in neighborhoods throughout your hometown reveals a lot.

This is a great statement of the power of demogs.

I trust Arch more than anyone else in the movie review business.  If you don’t know Arch Campbell, he’s been reviewing movies and the arts in DC for decades, and if there’s anything positive to say about a movie he’ll say it.  We tend to agree with almost everything he says around here.  Check out his list of top movies from every year he’s been at it here.

Personally I think this is crap, and it wouldn’t have been perpetrated on Netflix’s customers if anyone had actually stepped up to compete against them by now.  Blockbuster, are you listening?

I’m not a big fan of the Blockbuster by mail service – there are too many blatant examples of its also-ran status status to mention here – but as a by mail customer I can see myself adding Blockbuster’s service to make sure I get first run rentals.

Does anyone out there care about this besides me?
