BTW, much of the so-called "insider information" and "rumors" on popular
news sites is actually presented under license, with permission of the
movie company. It's spoon-fed to the consumer as if it were some secret,
because that makes it seem more important and tantalizing. Much of it is
simply marketing. Beaucoup bucks await those who can successfully pair
buyers and sellers of such information, in a way that the information is
exclusive to someone for a short period, giving them the competitive edge.
