Time to revive this thread again, even though I know it's become a punchline to most of you instead of a true mandate.

As I documented in the Film and Documentary section, studios are now paying attention to "hypothetical" preorders at sites like Amazon and Netflix -- people who offer up their email addresses for notification by the vendor when unreleased titles become available. Therefore, if enough people go to Amazon and order FABULOUS STAINS, that can send a message to Paramount that there is actual demand, and not just freaks like me screaming in the disco.

Meanwhile, the Nuart in West L.A. has another midnight show of the film scheduled for Friday, November 18th. Large audience turnouts at such midnight shows have helped pave the way for cult movies like TEEN WITCH and THE APPLE to get DVD releases. If over 200 show up for this, that will be meaningful as well.
