Product Description:

Get the showtimes for your local movie theaters in this gorgeous aqua marquee. Enter your zip code or postal code and Marquee will download the showtimes for all of the theaters in your area. Use the left and right arrows to scroll through the theaters to find the one that you want. Then use the up and down arrows to scroll through the movie listings. In order to save room for the other widgets on your desktop, Marquee will only display three movie listings per screen. Showtime data is downloaded each time you enter a zip code, or if it has been more than twelve hours since showtimes were downloaded last.

This version is 30% smaller to make room for your growing widget collection. If any of the information on the marquee is too long to fit, you can move your mouse over it and it will scroll across the marquee so that you can view the information in its entirety.

What's new in this version:

  • Marquee now updates each time the dashboard is shown, rather than every 12 hours.
  • Fixed a bug that caused an "object does not allow calls" error to be periodically logged to the console.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or later

I am in the USA, but in an obscure area where I find it hard to get listings online. This thing pulls my local listings. I also find it to be beautifully made.

It should say "widged for USA local movie times" , since there's no explicit indication that versiontracker is a US-only site (in fact I didn't found any restriction for the language of the soft either, so why should we assume that all soft here is USA-only?).
It would be much nicer if the developer could implement the posiblility to adapt to other countries , but I understand that shoudn't be easy. That said, I found quite disapointing that after so many comments about it, the developer don't care even to include three caracters (USA) in the description, so that the rest of the world (we do exist) don't waist our time with something is completely useless for us.

Marquee ReviewWorks well - Version: 1.0, 5/29/2005 06:52AM PST

Finally a movie widget. Works well and shows the theaters that I would expect to see in my area. Needs a right left scroll for lots of showings (like for Star Wars, there are a dozen showings, but I can only see the ones to 3:15PM.
