Six percent (6%) go to a theater once a month, and three percent (3%) go two or three times a month. Only one percent (1%) goes once a week. (To see survey question wording, click here.)<br /> By contrast, just 14% of adults say they rarely or never catch a movie at home.<br /> Twenty-seven percent (27%) watch a film at home at least once a week, and 17% watch more than one a week. Forty-one percent (41%) say they catch a movie at home occasionally.<br /> Among those who watch a film at home at least occasionally, 35% say during an average week that they are more likely to see one they\'ve rented. Thirty percent (30%) are more likely to watch one on regular network television, while 29% tend to tune in to films on a premium cable channel like HBO or Showtime.<br /> (Want a free daily e-mail update? If it\'s in the news, it\'s in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook.<br /> The survey of 1,000 Adults was conducted on January 26-27, 2011 Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.<br /> Thirty-seven percent (37%) of all Americans prefer comedy movies. Dramas run a distant second with 19% who prefer them, followed by 15% who lean toward action movies. Ten percent (10%) like science fiction best, four percent (4%) say horror, and just as many (4%) favor musicals.<br /> Men like science fiction and action movies more than women do. Women, on the other hand, prefer musicals more than the guys do.<br /> Younger adults are more likely to go out to the movies than their elders. Older Americans are much more likely to watch a film at home.<br /> Seventy-five percent (75%) of Americans who go to the movies at least once a month told us a year ago that they think movie tickets are too expensive.<br /> In a June 2007 survey, 65% of adults said they at least occasionally rent movies for home viewing.<br /> Not only are Americans staying at home to watch movies, but separate polling finds that most adults are still not rushing out to eat these days either. A good meal at home remains their preferred option. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/netflix-on-its-way-out#post-1249 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 11:13:51 +0000 Sueludad 1249@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>Listen Up People, If you are a Netflix member: Please take note of the following changes they wont tell you about even If you ask unless you press the customer service rep. when you call. # 1. People with single DVD plans are first to get the new releases (even thats 28 days behind DVD release dates) so If your paying for a larger plan, you get less service. # 2. You should have your old returns In the mail on sat. Netflix receives new DVDs on mon. # 3. In the last couple of weeks Netflix has changed there web-site, as of late you will notice some blank spaces were only days and weeks before there release dates there on your Queue. this way they no longer have to honor your personal Queue listings and they dont have to spend the money for all the DVDs they actually need. This means If you only Subscribe for the single Disc they have to send It to you just to keep you, but people paying for multiple Disc plans and having extensive Queues are placed on a back burner, We have other movies they can send us.<br /> # 4. list all of your next week releases that you want at the very top of your Queue. Have you notice the membership dues have gone up? </p> <p>Sueludad </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/sponsored-link-in-newsletter-thats-not-marked-as-sponsored-why#post-1181 Thu, 09 Dec 2010 11:59:12 +0000 Michael 1181@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>Hey,</p> <p>You are right.

I was just thinking about this earlier today but forgot to comment here. I had forgotten about the incident with aweber.</p> <p>The real issue I have with infernus is the way this was brought up. I resent that someone would accuse me of selling information of users. It\'s not like I just started this site recently so I could sell email addresses. This site has been around nearly 5 years, and I can assure everyone that I didn\'t all of sudden decide to sell email addresses of the 200k+ members here.</p> <p>Anyway, I would like to know if this was the case. Hopefully it was, and that there is no other exploit being used that I am unaware of. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/id-like-to-know-why-the-hell-insideredboxcom-sold-my-email-address#post-1161 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 17:06:29 +0000 reboxjoke 1161@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>How long ago did you create that email address? Was it also used for the \"Insider Updates\" email list?</p> <p>Michael had said some 10 months ago that his mailing list service provider was compromised at the end of last year via this thread:<br /> <a href="http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/i-just-got-spam-from-an-email-address-that-i-only-gave-to-insideredboxcom#post-601" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideredbox.com/community/topic/i-just-got-spam-from-an-email-address-that-i-only-gave-to-insideredboxcom#post-601</a></p> <p>I too have a insideredbox.com specific email address, but I also used it for both the mailing list and the forums. I\'d be interested in knowing if yours was only used in these forums. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/id-like-to-know-why-the-hell-insideredboxcom-sold-my-email-address#post-1156 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 07:13:10 +0000 infernusdoleo 1156@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>I run my own email server. I dont use gmail or hotmail or anything of the sort. I run the security for it. I wrote the software for the spam-catching email system. The email address used for this website was (I can post it here because it is now deleted so I wont get the spam you sold my address for) <a href="mailto:mafr3bvha@ebonmists.com">mafr3bvha@ebonmists.com</a> - It is a RANDOM email address. It exists nowhere online to be skimmed. Spammers are not sending emails out to random strings of email addresses to unknown domains in hope of selling viagra.</p> <p>I've had this email spam system in place for 5 years now. Only twice before have emails I've made for website signups turned up getting spam (here, and midnightbox.com). I'd wager my house on the fact that a spammer didnt use a random text generator to send emails to that email address and somehow get it right.</p> <p>Know how I know? I'm the admin of my own server. I get logs and email reports every day of spam activity. And while my server will bounce emails to common guessed addresses (joe@ and owner@ and contact@ and info@ etc) It does not have logs of bounced attempts to send to h267dg2@ and wjhsgksg2@ and 8mnghwv@ - Spammers dont do that because the emails dont go through. That and the fact that normal people do not have random, hard to remember strings of gibberish for their email address. Anyone here have a friend who's email address is <a href="mailto:kj28dg2ixod@yahoo.com">kj28dg2ixod@yahoo.com</a>?</p> <p>So other than you selling my email address, an employee stealing the list and selling it, or your system being hacked to find it, how do you explain <a href="mailto:mafr3bvha@ebonmists.com">mafr3bvha@ebonmists.com</a> suddenly ending up on some spammers email lists? </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/id-like-to-know-why-the-hell-insideredboxcom-sold-my-email-address#post-1147 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 13:42:51 +0000 Michael 1147@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>It's kind of lame of you to make such an accusation here with absolutely ZERO evidence to back it up.</p> <p>Do you know how often BRAND NEW email accounts that have never even been used get spam? Unfortunately, spammers have lots of tools at their disposal to ensure they can get their message out to as many people as possible.</p> <p>I can assure you that Inside Redbox does not share your email address or any sort of information you give us with anyone. Never have, and never will. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/id-like-to-know-why-the-hell-insideredboxcom-sold-my-email-address#post-1146 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 11:54:05 +0000 infernusdoleo 1146@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>Anyone else here getting new spam?</p> <p>VigREX | Penis Enlargement Pills<br /> Soon Holidays Buy_Replica_Watches<br /> Buy Gift: Replica Watches &amp; Bags &amp; Wallets</p> <p>When I sign up for a website, I use a tool I created that gives me a unique email address, that tracks what site I used it on.

Also, even if they win their lawsuit against Redbox, there are too many 'holes in the dam' to plug. Every Tuesday is called 'street date' in the trade, and is the date everyone from Wal-Mart, to Best Buy, to Redbox, and all kiosk owner operators are allowed to put the new release DVD's on the rack for public access, and Wal-Mart, on Tuesday only, drop the price for one day down to $15--$16.00 for one day only, to drive foot traffic into the store, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com</a> does the same thing--only with a little bit longer 'window of opportunity'--I checked 'Wolverine'--the last installment of the X-men trilogy, and it was priced at $15.50. This lawsuit brought by Universal, then Fox Studios, and Warner Brothers, is pure greed on their part, as last year DVD sales dropped by 8%, while DVD kiosk rental revenue increased at 147%. I have trade articles and a video interview with the CEO of Redbox, and will be happy to send them upon request. You may email me at:gatwell@dvdnowkiosks.com, and our website is : <a href="http://www.dvdnow.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.dvdnow.net</a>, and we are the 4th largest distributors of DVD rental kiosks in the world--hope this has been of utility for you.<br /> Best,<br /> Gordon </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/netflix-to-delay-renting-new-warner-bros-dvds#post-679 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:57:03 +0000 The Turnip 679@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>Story: <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34731701/ns/business-media_biz/?GT1=43001" rel="nofollow">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34731701/ns/business-media_biz/?GT1=43001</a> </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/returning-discs#post-604 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:02:51 +0000 kl00061 604@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>That's a good idea! </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/clickercom#post-503 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:54:05 +0000 inp0824 503@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>Thanks!

Post Gazette about a new internet site called Clicker.com that is like Hulu where you can watch movies, tv episodes, etc. for free. It's been in testing for several months and now is available to the public for free. I checked it out and it's pretty interesting as it has available 400,000 tv episodes, 50,000 music videos , and roughly 30,000 movies. Went to watch an R-rated movie and the thing they do require is your birth date and verification that that is in fact your true birthdate. </p> http://www.insideredbox.com/topic/contacting-blockbuster-expressovercharge#post-288 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:07:52 +0000 seasanddollar 288@http://www.insideredbox.com/ <p>I just found a Blockbuster Express Kiosk in our local Publix the other day.
