So there’s a bit of sarcasm in the title, but what did this guy expect? He was editing their movies, taking out “bad” stuff, and then selling the DVD-R with zero copy protection. Whatever happened to parents just not letting their kids watch movies they weren’t old enough for? Would you really want your 8-year old to watch a non-bloody […]
Read moreInteresting news from Hulu. One has to believe that they simply took their $7.99 cue from Netflix–surely if people had the option of Netflix (Movies+TV) for $7.99 or Hulu Plus for $10, Netflix was going to dominate. That being said, I’m never excited to see yet another monthly fee subscription. Think they can both co-exist? I am happy to announce […]
Read moreA whole lot of 3D releases this week, and me without my 3D tv, so I’ll have to rely on Swoon and Andrew to let me know how they are.

To help account for […]
Read moreWhile there is no good news for Andy Whitfield at the moment, there have been some developments on the recasting of his role. Personally, the single season I spent watching Spartcacus truly created a connection for me with the character and the man behind him. I wish Andy nothing but the best. Once again, I have to say that these […]
Read moreA report like this is great considering the battle the digital fans used to have to make with record companies losing so much money. While Comcast complains about losing 500,000 subscribers, numbers like these have to be encouraging to the television content providers themselves to see that this is a legitimately viable business option…assuming they come up with something better […]

I know Mikinho is ecstatic to hear about this. Ever since the first images of this remote he and many others have been clammoring to get the remote alone to integrate with their own HTPC. For $40, it can be done…maybe. If it’s true, considering the Logitech Dinovo Mini runs at $90-100, this is a pretty sweet deal. The Boxee […]
