“iTunes users must be hypnotized by his ‘blue steel’ gaze, because Zoolander has been hanging out in the Top 10 movies purchased on iTunes,” Chris Albrecht reports for NewTeeVee. “Wait, what? An eight-year-old comedy is more popular than Ratatouille, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, and High School Musical (parts 1 and 2)?”
Albrecht muses, “Either Ben Stiller is HUGE with iTunes users, or Apples sales are so low that it doesn’t take much to make it into the top 10. Zoolander isn’t even in the top 100 iTunes rentals.”
“For comparison, the digital download of Zoolander ranks #339 on Amazon Unbox, and the Zoolander DVD ranks #1,830,” Albrecht reports. “So why is Zoolander so darn popular on iTunes?”

Perhaps more mac owners are….
Weird. I thought Ratatouille was a horrible idea from the start. And I normally LOVE Pixar movies. Also, I think the same of Zoolander.

Group sex scenes and ménage a trios?????
Man, I shouldn’t have smoked so much peyote before watching that movie. Damn!
@C1,
“Every irritating Grateful Dead/Phish fan you meet.”
Thank God they aren’t touring any more (well, the Dead are coming back soon), C1. How about my favorite band, Widespread Panic? Are they on your shit list, too? Have you heard them or of them?
(Not being sarcastic or pissy, just asking. I know you are into the goth and rave scene, as am I, ironically. Electronica, goth, and techno don’t necessarily clash with GD/Phish/WSP as much as you think – go see Widespread next time they come around Seattle – it will be the best show you will ever see! And, FYI, I don’t look like the typical Dead Head/Spread Head. No dreadlocks or stinky hippy look here – most fans at the shows think I’m a cop. Yeah, an undercover cop rolling his face off, dancing like a mad man, and hitting a joint – riggghhhhtttt!)
Ya know, I’d bet that most of the big blockbuster type of movies won’t actually make it too high on the list with iTunes (at least longevity-wise).
Most of those movies get watched in the theatre, and when checking out iTunes, I generally try to find things I haven’t seen before. Looking for one of those “oh yeah, I wanted to see that!” moments…
