Yet another way to watch movies online

Not that Netflix, Apple, Blockbuster, or Amazon have Internet distribution figured out, but I’m not sure what the auteurs website is uniquely bringing to the party.  Here’s what their website says:

The Auteurs is Berlin, Cannes, Toronto, and Venice - 365 days a year. It’s an online movie theater where you watch, discover, and discuss films. Fall in love all over again with the movies, and meet other people who feel just the same way. Great films, original editorial coverage, and a community of the most interested and interesting film fans in the world - all waiting for you.

Think of it as a virtual cinematheque: a place where you leave the dark of the screening room, and find yourself amongst friends.

I guess they are going after cinephiles, but 1. I don’t think that’s a large enough market, and 2. they will never have enough movies to offer to satisfy a cinephile.

Perhaps their market is burgeoning cinephiles?
