I Love Blogging!!! The article in NY Times was rather simplistic and rang false on the "tipping the concierge" strategy. However, appearing in the NY Times is a great way to elicit a variety of comments and these are more interesting to me than the article itself. I'm commenting on the comments here....Sydney

There is still no "there" there. For the most part the small companies don't have the fiscal resources to do PR, advertising, trailers, promotions, viral marketing and the range of digital and film prints needed to cover the Us. The theaters still need decent box office to hold over the titles and few independent films can make $2,000 plus a week.Even if the filmmakers and distributors had the capital to make it work, the films can't attract the audiences. They open small and can't build. The NY Times article was a bit short on the numbers.

Under the terms of the National Film Preservation Act, each year the Librarian of Congress names 25 films to the Registry that are "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant. The choices aren't necessarily considered the best American films; they are chosen by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington on the advice of the Film Preservation Board and the library's motion picture staff because the selections possess "enduring significance to American culture."
James Cameron's 1984 "Terminator," in which the future governor of California's cyborg utters the classic line, "I'll be back," was cited for "blending an ingenious,...
