Do critics matter? Fandango says ‘yes’ | 
From member Christian Toto:
Film critics are an endangered species.
Newspapers and magazines are shedding their regular critics at an alarming rate, and more people are picking film tips up from their friends via Facebook and Twitter.
But a recent survey regarding “Avatar” by Fandango.com gave this critic a glimmer of hope.
The study found that 72 percent of respondents indicated the film’s positive reviews have increased their interest in seeing the movie.
To paraphrase Sally Field, “you like us … you really like us.”
