We've had a local movie review link on our MSP Family Recreation page for years.
Most of the links are fairly stable -- they have a half-life of 2-5 years.
There's one big exception.
Local movie listings have a half-life of about 4 months. The current two links are broken today.
Since this has traditionally been a low margin local newspaper service the short-lived links are probably another, unneeded, indicator that our local papers have one foot in the ICU and one in the crematorium.
I figured, given the failure of newspaper associated listings, that there must be emerging alternatives.
I found two.
Google has a local movie listing service. Not new and I've probably seen it before, but now it will be a rec page link.
Fandango does listings and sells tickets online. Another rec page link.
I'll miss our local newspapers.
