Some brutal news for the 10 of you out there still relying on Blockbuster Video to obtain your movie rentals. Given this announcement, I wonder if the studios will back off of Redbox and other kiosk movie vendors given that you have to assume it was Blockbuster putting the pressure on them to do so, right? CNet But Blockbuster’s closure […]

This is pretty interesting, and I’m of the generation that is doing this. Or so I thought, apparantly it has a much larger reach…either that or they happened to strictly survey a town full of college students. Home Media Mag One of four households watches television online, rather than sitting down at a specific time to watch their favorite show, […]

A new episode of HD Nation is up and it’s packed with some great content, including some MPAA news, 24p questions and a variety of other HD focused content. HD Nation Matt wants to build an HTPC, but is worried about having problems getting audio over his HDMI cable. Don’t worry, Matt, we’ve got options… you don’t have to spend […]

This makes a lot of sense for everyone involved, just wondering what took them so long. There’s already so many visitors to the site watching short clips or trailers of movies, why not have a recommended engine which then allows users to watch a similar full length movie?

Good news for the internet video world, and not really all that surprising. Just look at how many television and blu-ray players now are focusing on streaming internet video, and of course the growing popularity of great shows on Hulu (ahem…Three Sheets!).

I look forward to this list from Brent and this is about as thorough as it gets…I’m most […]

You know what’s funny about an article like this, nowhere does it suggest anywhere that *maybe* lowering the absurd ticket prices might have a positive effect on theater attendance. Instead, sell alcohol and have bowling alleys? Because you weren’t spending enough money when you go see a movie, it’s going to become as (if not more) expensive thank going to […]

Before you get excited about this, understand that there is a catch–the movies will only play on certified DiVx players or devices. That’s actually not that bad a requirement given that a lot of players and extender devices these days supports the DiVx codec, but still I’m waiting for the day when the studios allow you to do it the […]

Interpret this news as you wish, but I take it as another step in the progress for traditional media companies to adapt their methods to support the evolution of technology and how users are digesting content. Rather than strike against online content, fearing it will cannibalize DVD sales, NBC is embracing it and using it as motivation for the DVDs […]

This was one of those articles I was reading and it struck me as "that’s so true" so I had to post it. My Media Center has really been beyond empty right now, and if it wasn’t for HBO with Hung, Entourage and True Blood, I’d really be starving for some content.
