Trendy isn't a good thing, it is Urban Outfitters Ramones t-shirts and furry boots (gag). Hip is the opposite of trendy, really. Trendy = what everyone else is doing/wearing/into. That art installation does sound pretty cool, really. Actually, I find Ann Arbor VERY trendy, and thus annoying.

The capital costs for a small (digital) theater are MUCH lower than they would be for a film-based theater. Combined with the fact that digital storage also takes up a lot less space, many, smaller theaters makes sense. Unfortunately, outside of the home-theater trend, I don't see this taking off as fast as it could because the film industry, even moreso than the music industry, will have a really hard time getting their heads around new business models. Right now, public performance costs for many films are entirely too high for the economics of smaller theaters to work, which is too bad. I envision a sort of cineplex where smaller groups could reserve theaters, with varying degrees of catered services, for viewing films, video game tournaments, video conferenced meetings, all kinds of stuff... I wrote about this a little at my old blog. There is *huge* potential for micro-cinema, IMO.
