The only thing that is obvious is that you didn't read the story...
What used to take a week to happen, with just the bad reviews and new movies coming out each week, now happens in a day or two.
It is this that they are attributing to text messaging. Before, it took a certain amount of time for word of mouth to spread. Now it is happening much faster.
I contend that the quality of a movie can affect the rate of drop-off. I'd be far less inclined to go see a movie if someone who'd seen it was emphatic about their negative review. In fact, if the movie is bad enough, I've seen its critique used as a conversation starter. "Man, don't go see The Hulkinator III - it sucks!" for example. One doesn't necessarily need new communciation media in order to get the word out.
Is this where I tell the "cooking hot dogs in the radar waveguide story?"
Some more tips for those who might wish to try the LN2 ice cream...
* We prefer to pour the LN2 into the ice cream ingredients - use a small stream and go slowly, it will really froth up of you don't. We typically use a plastic cooler and a _huge_ wooden spoon.
* Definately use good ingredients. The best we ever made was with fresh mango purrie - yum!
* If you do the "dippin dots" method, where you drop the liquid ingredients into the LN2, be sure to let them "warm up" before eating. You'll freeze yer waggle off if not...
* When we're done with the ice cream, the left over LN2 almost always goes into the pool. The kids love to swim in the fog that it creats. Just make sure that they are far enough away from the pour, as some splashes do occur.
* 10 Liters usually handls a party of 40 people or so...
because it's the fox guarding the hen house. When I use Microsoft Software, the group that I most need security protection against is Microsoft Software!
Until Microsoft establishes a fiduciary relationship with the user instead of corporate america, nothing will change.
It's Microsoft that is recording what videos I watch, embedding undisclosed personal information in my word documents and allowing anyone and everyone to track me through their media player, etc. It's a full time career just trying to protect onself from these intrusions.

Now we'll have to endure more of those obnoxious "everyone in Aluminum Foil" adds from the Gap stores...
