The Movie Say Blog is your source for all the latest Movie Say announcements, as well as a place for movie-related discussion.

I don’t know if it is because of Google taking over YouTube or what, but recently YouTube has been removing trailers from their website faster than I can link to them. The “Favourites” list at YouTube, which I use for pulling out some data, has also been very buggy recently, and it has therefore been impossible to really make use of that data.

Since the YouTube data has never really been that useful to begin with because the number of trailer views per movie is affected by a whole range of variables, I have decided to drop YouTube from the MovieSay buzz calculations altogether. While it was in a sense a hard decision to make, as dropping an information source is never easy, I believe that without YouTube the information on this website will be more accurate.

A documentary about a Christian summer camp for children is the most talked about documentary this week. Jesus Camp, directed by Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, currently lies 7th in the buzz rankings of movies now in theaters, just below Snakes On A Plane and above Miami Vice.

The top ten most discussed films currently also includes another documentary: Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. The film, which is about climate change and global warming, has almost without disruptions been in the lower end of the top ten ever since its release in late May, indicating that while the movie may not have had an enormous momentary impact on the audiences, it has kept people talking.

No other documentary features in the top 20, as the third currently most talked about documentary feature is The U.S. vs. John Lennon, which opened on limited release last week, and now holds the 30th place in Movie Say’s buzz rankings.
