It's a tiny local community cinema, perhaps they can't afford all the movies they'd like to get, so it was a desert in terms of what they could get? Hell, maybe they don't have deals with every distributor so they can't access some movies?

Because I for sure would probably watch Magellan at least, if nothing else, so I'll have to agree it's not really a desert.
