Basically, I use the people on there to read reviews. I also contribute by writing my own impromptu reviews on movies I want to champion or inform others about. Regardless of why Spout's in business, I don't care. But I get personal value out of using the site and community content...isn't that what the web is about?

I actually recommended it to two (non-techie) movie buffs last week and they seemed to like it. Also, before you accuse me of being a shill - I have to disclose that I have one of their giveaway t-shirts somewhere in my closet.

Incredible.

I'm sure Y Combinator has about 10 of these worthless crap type products ready to launch. Are Michael Arrington and Nick Gonzales ready?

Like 30boxes and del.icio.us and other sites where I can keep my stuff for free (so far anyway) and apart from my hard drive, and accessible by phone, I like it a lot. I like having my movie lists available by rss feed. I like having a place to build many different lists of things to watch. And I like that it's not tied to paying for a Blockbuster or Netflix account. I'm too old for the social part. Doesn't grab me, but having my lists there frees them up for all the ways of seeing movies (download, vod, borrowed, etc). The rental queues are no place to keep your lists, and they are not safe. Kill your account, and your list is gone. And of course, the more movies you have in your queues, the less likely you'll get to see the new ones as soon as they come out.. heh. So. I hope Spout makes it. Because it's useful to me. And it's all about me. #7 Because so far at least, it's not populated by 14-year-olds, and more than just the blockbusters. A lot of indie film fans at Spout. And podcasts from the film fests... and.. it's smart? #whoever said widget with favorite movies... yeah. I so want that too. But I want to define which lists for my widget, or have mutiple widgets. Or... I’ve been using Spout for awhile now.
