"Drawing upon economic data, promotional material, fandom, and the trade press, Charles R. Acland takes his study of contemporary cinema culture into the busy intersection of debates about post-national and post-cinematic audiences. Acland assesses the cross-marketed media landscape--megaplexes, television, videotapes, DVDs, fast-food, music, and the web--and deftly maps the global consequences of traffic across these new forms of mobilized visuality."--Anne Friedberg, University of Southern California
