I was just put onto this by a ex-colleague (@insightr) .
Its another one of the great NY Times visualizations, and whilst I have some mis-givings about its value, it still shows some wonderful trends just from a quick view of what is happening in NYC.
Take a look at it and see the trends between the Bronx and Manhattan, and the trends within Manhattan, some differences within Lower vs Upper Manhattan, as mentioned in the Arts Beat Blog Post on NY Times.
My mis-givings about this, whilst it is showing interesting trends for 2009 films by each individual title, it would be quite compelling to look at the aggregate for each genre, as I believe that would show even more significant differences, certainly within the NYC area, just a thought…
