Instant Video is coming to Amazon.co.uk
Oh, goodie! I love Amazon U.S.’s Instant Video. I presume Amazon U.K.’s implementation will be as good.
LoveFilm
question of the day: If you were stuck on a ledge, how would you waste the time?
And why the heck are you on a ledge in the first place?
I’m loving LoveFilm
I’m tickled to discover how many great films are being added all the time to Lovefilm’s streaming service, like these new classics…
question of the day: How do you chose which movies and TV shows to watch?
Hundreds of cable channels. Hulu. Netflix. Lovefilm. On-demand. A century of movies, 60 years of TV… How to choose?
question of the day: Would you watch movies on Facebook?
Warner Bros. announced today that it has started offering streaming movies to rent or purchase directly on Facebook. Good idea? What are the potential problems?
‘Doctor Who’ thing of the day: really awful porn with a ‘Doctor Who’ theme
Well, I assume that Doctor Loo and the Phaleks is really awful. I’m sure as hell not gonna watch it for confirmation of that suspicion…
question of the day: What button would you add to your TV remote control?
I’d love one that flips right past Fox News… or, indeed, any channel I don’t want to even accidentally expose my brain too. My cable remote has a “favorite channel” feature, but it would be much easier if there were a “hated channel” option…
question of the day: How soon will physical DVDs disappear from general usage?
We’ll always watch movies, I suspect — at least until whatever apocalypse we’re in for hits and the electricity goes out — but I don’t think we’ll actually be watching them on plastic DVDs for very much longer. I’m beginning to see a time for myself in the very near future when I may never have to buy another DVD…
would you like me to link my reviews to DVD rental options?
Reader nyjm, in comments following my review of Agora, just out on DVD, would like me to link my reviews to Netflix, for easy adding of films to rental queues. Is this something that many of you would find useful?
trailer break: ‘Pimp’
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Sheesh: men and their economic and sexual dominance. Why don’t they just relax already? Pimp opens in the U.K. on May 21 (and also on demand on FilmFlex, iTunes, Playstation, and LoveFilm); no U.S. or Canadian release date has been announced.
