maz modest budget film the smaller releases but it just seemed like the strangest release we talked about a lot of the show about it was had this fantastic profit or average but it just never seemed to get into enough theatres to make enough money and then suddenly township a lot of the rest shot in pittsburgh went to best buy to pick up the perks of being wallflower did not exist was not there's no space for it even and on and i get say so i want to talk about just best buy that these are these kind of the chain stores in the world of amazon and i'm trying to remember if for instance when the steelers won the super bowl that i'm just trying to  there's any regional kind of stuff that they do with these stores where they have a big display for when the you know the super bowl d v d s came out or whatever did they or do i say i'm just trying to remember in the past if they have because it just seems strange that a movie that would have a a pretty big appeal in this area plus i mean let's remember this was a big selling book back in its time i mean that was ten years ago but you know a lot of kids were aware of it but  in the last two or three days the temporary program they were doing with matching pro u s now is is a locked in thing they're on it will happen forever and i think they listed twenty merchants that they would match to i don't believe it's going to keep them afloat i think it's going to make them survive so many retailers are already the point where they wal mart and the product the product they're using meaning this specific product is only sold in the store  wal mart's not with everything formula you know beverages whatever the size the assembly the unity packaging is only sold in that store so they can charge whatever price they want to and still claim to be the lowest price in person and consumers are none the wiser and best buys on the same thing over the last few years and sears has done the same kind of thing change the us code at the end of it so it's exclusive to that store and then bang you can sell it as the lowest price because i'm the only  it and no one does that sestak ation or is the wiser but i don't think it's going to help them survive at the same time when it gets to a point where there isn't a place to go look at this stuff i think there will have to be some kind of a survival mode  i don't know if that's going to be a service or installation thing if it's going to be amazon comes out with somebody or they'll install it is frankly i'm still nervous about hanging up my own t v on the wall and you know installing all of the components for it that's something that i would hire somebody to do but there's going to be a gap there and i don't think this change investment is going to save it i think it's lingering on what it can the same way borders did for many technology a big part of their market is people that are more tech savvy or more quickly to jump on the new kind of purchase things this is the kind of people that are comfortable with ordering online they know they can get it cheaper they don't need to go into the store and talk to somebody about the product or go to the store and just to have the gravitation of taking home that day not necessarily so there's a huge market yes they have best buy online but why am i going to or from something online if it's not the cheapest version online and then you have your amazon prime's of amazon is the cheapest and you have your free shipping with it as well there's a lot of things that are working together to keep me from going and making a trip to that store i know personally i've only been to best buy twice in the last two years and those are both the weekend after black friday just to see what was left on the shelves each time i go in they always change something about the store and it's something that does not seem to make sense to me because it just it's all over the place in my and in my image of it at least when i'm trying to walk through which i now have you know where the d v d s that oh you only have one rack of those they're keep limiting the sections that i go to the store for and expanding the others that i don't really care about or remember what used to go and it was just after row of music right and then a parallel section with after row of movies and that time amazon existed i think was still competitive if not cheaper but really best buy's only competition at that point was the first week of release and then amazon kept their prices that low market for a while that's still kind of kind of there but it just seems like it's hard to identify with what we're going in there for anymore and it's interesting is thinking we're going to nexus we may have brought a good point about  the nexus seven the google products also the kindle i mean you think about when these products all launched you couldn't go see them anywhere and people were buying them sight unseen they had nothing to sneeze vait to say i buy a kindle i don't you know and just from word of mouth and i'm curious to see if that's the trend going to hold that you're right that people that are tech savvy are going to go in they're going to review they're going to figure out what it is but they don't necessarily need to hold in their hands to see know my impression of kids is that they like technology they want technology they use technology but i don't know if i call them savvy with it or not i think they've adopted it and it's a part of their lives but i don't think these are kids who would feel comfortable i don't care what it can really do or what it's going to give me what stand vanity of having it on i need it i want it if you don't have that in the store that's what you no longer my store so interesting in amongst all this of course apple's had my wife actually heard the story the other day she goes what is google going to sell internet searches i mean and that was her kneejerk response to it of course they well as you know what they have products they're selling stuff but i mean it's stealing all back a little bit of that market and at the same time guiding your toward a specific product i mean how many things have done this for years we've never thought about that you don't go to a car store you go to a ford dealership you don't go interesting thing about google attempting to open stores is one we're seeing stores closing all over the place which is a complete obviously this issue is you know the success of the company but when you compared to apple to microsoft apple's very successful retail microsoft launched before they had the surface come out now google is going to be opening up stores really a place that they can showcase their gear they have their chrome book coming out and then potentially google glass that comes out i mean these are all different venues where they can really showcase you can get your hands on the surface on a microsoft store and get my hands on the latest apple product at the apple store i can talk to those people about it and that does two things that's going to educate i don't have this nice shiny store i can go to for the people that need to be able to touch the product and also on the place where i can go to if i want to talk tech about the product because you're me talking about someone who specializing in a brand or specializing in televisions in general or in computers in general that kind of stuff so they're going to know the ins and outs of the and they will be trained by the company and how they want to be able to display and showcase well the thing that's interesting to me about this is you're seeing the erosion of the brick and mortar stores that's going away and it's going to fill that gap and especially by a place that we've adopted as being our online supplier i mean this is where i've been buying it so now i can go to one of these places and granted they're more exclusive not a lot of microsoft stores yet and of course there's zero google stores as of this point but apple turning that brand where it was sold at this location on amazon and then a couple of places now place here and also locking that brand down where no one can sell it for below a certain price so even if i go to wal mart i'm saving you know fifty cents or seventy five cents or whatever and if i go to the apple store wow it's bright and shiny or you know i don't have to go into wal mart mentality and i have this impression that these people know this so much more so i'm willing to pay a buck and a half more for and it kind of plays into this idea that people are more aware of what they want possibly ahead of time and so they look i have i have a google phone i'm going to go to google store and see laptops or you know books and tablets and stuff like that of course apple's been doing that for years and maybe that mentality of i want to browse everything is going away because people kind of are becoming brand loyal which is kind of odd in this day and age i guess that places are competing on price a lot of issues but really you know people kind of get and part of that is we talk a lot about the ecosystems you know once you're in apple once you're in the enjoyed system is a pain to get out and with an amazon especially the predictions early saying there were going to be eight and there were not any surprises one way or the other out or yeah i mean if they added to the ten of these to me with all the the show runners are this is a very tight couple of the most wonderful misses of this is a movie that's been nominated for best picture best actor actor supporting actor supporting actress directing film editing and adapted screenplay so do you think it has any chance of winning anything outside of the actress categories yes really the adapted screenplay i think it has a chance for a deputy screenplay and a first supporting actor oh ok this because it's up to nero and he is one of the all right i understand i understand mean yeah there's a lot of politics behind it all and he's the big name was in one sense probably taxi driver it's us i can actually tell you well a lot of robert de niro i think i had a few  here this homeless is seventh nomination he's won two godfather part two and raging bull to longtime eighty two and raging bull right and that also plays the card of do you  no acting categories of any kind i get that it's kind of us michael is it so much going on there just a few things that to jump out at me one of them was that does it seem odd that this picture is got eleven nominations all this kind of stuff no actor or actress or any you know is really only one acting world and i haven't seen the film but i read the book which i adored and from what i've seen bits and pieces i would say wow that's the greatest actor i've brilliant and of course i haven't seen the film yet but it doesn't ring to me as something that should be nominated ford acting category i find it interesting i was in out of and i've seen the film that people were marketing it as filmable book that you couldn't put this on the screen and then the person puts it on the screen took four years to do but you put it on screen and now it's a spectacle like a visionary spectacle it's all about it's all about what you're watching and being amazed it and i think that's just a testament to something that they may deem worthy of getting a little further escape whether it's a minor award or not or one that's not you know necessarily the draw in the crowd i think that's that says a lot about the film that it's going to be an embarrassment i don't know what brokeback mountain was is going to record that he's done some garbage as well nation by the way argo is coming out this today on the radio for those that want to catch up on it before i will before the actual ceremony begins for that is lincoln just because of the masterpiece that it is with the action performances that came out about it it's a historical story it's supposed to be accurate it's a different telling of of what we know of lincoln as far as you know being the have all these people it goes on and on and then just the size the fact of argo being with ben affleck being snubbed for even being nominated for best director it's going to have to take him something big it's it's most likely going to  director and he's not even nominated by the academy something seems to be going around in the background or something like that i think i'm going to disagree with us for kondracke good i think it will go to argo just because of that i think there's and my favorite criticism of lincoln my mother i call her the have you seen lincoln now i'm i haven't seen her she's so good and i fell asleep it was so good and that's that's what i'm hearing in a lot of criticism of it it's it's good but it's the law like the performances are excellent the making of the film is good but something doesn't piece together right and not for that film to work and certainly there have been best picture winners that i seen and think they're really the best we had to offer this year i mean i still turn my nose at forrest gump to a lot of concern and sound great movie it was a good movie but i think of those nominees that year i think three of the films were better absolutely i think quiz show was far superior felt much much better i also think shawshank redemption better film that's absolutely and that's almost without question and forrest  a thing you know this is historical we've got to give it to this but i don't think lincoln has the legs to quite win out and especially because ben affleck was turned away i think if he was nominated lincoln would have had a better chance of winning but the fact that he wasn't going to go with our guns thing is are here was a film is about the movie industry or partially about the movie industry in the academy awards typically has very as love that any kind of thing that's drawing attention or showing not just about the movie and boring terribly terribly boring great movie making not great film you know it was great for about twenty minutes and then you're over  this year and say he's never going to win either because he's the variable car that can have a stage to perform on oh i think he could win i definitely don't i think he could if fifteen years from now or so he does something unique different  i think the academy will see it within their reason to give it so i think he's too much of the wildcard factor for them to me showing on their broadcast going on stage with a microphone a has a nice twist to it as well it's excellent record ralph was good but it didn't have that much of an edge it just didn't have that feel good feeling afterwards the right record rough place to place me as far as a
