[nq:1]For those who may have missed it on TV, it appears that "Anonymous Rex" has been released on DVD. I saw it on the the shelf at Blockbuster last night. I assume it is at other Blockbusters as well.[/nq]

A... what? Is that pronounced theeter? ... Oh, wait a minute, I once worked on some computers in a local theeter. It smelled a lot like stale popcorn. I told the owner that, with all those cushioned seats pointed towards the front, they should set up a widescreen TV on the stage and charge to watch wrastling, or something. And that they could even rent DVD

[nq:1]But hey, Blockbuster's gotta do something to raise their market share, so perhaps All Eric, All The Time might work. Certainly cut down on the number of necessary shelves.[/nq]
All the local video rental video places are cutting way back on shelves already. The places are starting to look about as empty as a K-Mart. Even the two big grocery stores that used to have thriving video

Netflix found space for it on their shelf, too:

That's what I thought when I watched it. The "Rex" books are a fun twist on the hard-boiled detective genre the TV Movie/Video didn't catch much of that "flavor."

It's great you're explaining this. It never occurred to me to ask "w
