I should see The Mouse That Roared again.

And you've now boot-strap loaded your brain with Robot Chicken. That's pretty much show I started in on it too.

The Mouse That Roared is one of those few instances where the movie is actually as good as the book -- in no small part because of Peter Sellers. The book is still worth reading if you stumble across a copy, though.

Metropolitan area maps of movie rentals by zip code. I'm dubious about the scaling. I suspect about three people rent movies in the Alviso zip code.

Check the Mad Men graph: Palo Alto/Menlo Park. And the True Blood - SF and Oakland/Berkeley.

There's nothing in the top 50 I want to see.

Yeah, I was looking at that yesterday - TWILIGHT and DOUBT are next to each other on the most-rented slider and are almost exactly opposite heat maps from each other in most of the cities.
