Buying large blocks of tix for a couple weekend showings of this movie at the Arclight isn't going to be enough to push the needle one way or the other. It's a lot like those VoteFortheWorst "Idol" freaks.... They don't have enough power to do anything, but they let people feel reassured that there's a shadowy figure behind inexplicable results...
