...Funny People's subpar returns dealt another body blow to its distributor, Universal Pictures. Big releases like Land of the Lost, Brüno, Duplicity and State of Play have all underperformed this year. Public Enemies has done O.K., but with its $100 million budget, the Johnny Depp crime melodrama hasn't come close to making back its costs after five weeks in North American theaters, and it's all but comatose abroad. The studio's one ginormous 2009 hit is Fast & Furious, which has earned nearly $350 million worldwide on an $85 million budget. Except for the Vin Diesel...

(In gratitude, you may end up buying from Amazon instead of renting from Netflix.) A lot of this trouble would be saved if Netflix were to list the distributor. I'll take it from there...

A cute little chimney vents smoke from the middle. The "gravity...

"If I had opened a surf shop eight months ago, we would have been out of business right now, no doubt," he says. Instead, Brewer, who also works as a distributor, fields calls for paddleboards from kayak and surf shops all over the country. "They know that's the only thing they can sell right now," says Brewer, who compares the sport's skyrocketing trajectory to snowboarding, which similarly gained traction in the 1980s and '90s. "A lot of people...
