Comments are on for this one. I need your help in understanding something. If I go to the iTunes store, I can get almost any song I can possibly think of. Why are movies so far behind?

If I want to go home tonight and watch The Good Son tonight, why can’t I? Forget MacTV or MyMovies or IMovieMachine or whatever it’s called, why can’t I get them off my Rogers PVR? Is it a storage issue? I really don’t understand why movies are so behind music right now. Thoughts?

    My guess would be storage and bandwidth. While a music file is in the area of 3-6 megs usually, even compressed movies are more like a gig, but HD movies are WAY more than that.

    I think the first issue you need to address is why the hell you’d want to watch “The Good Son”. =)

    Seriously though, I think it’s a movie-studio thing. Also, why are some movies available to buy, but not to rent?

    You know what though? I’ll explore as many avenues as possible now before I walk into Blockbuster or Jumbo and give them another dime. Oh, that’s a $2.00 restocking fee…Oh, that’s due back Friday. Piss off already!

    He once used the tagline Pretty Much Amazing. It wasn't far from the truth. Check back from time to time for design goodness.

    Great smug perspectives. A real sour view on life in general. Definitely good for a laugh.

    I know a lot of dudes that know a lot about technical stuff. This guy takes the cake.

    Stands for krazy, malice assumptions and narration's. Okay, maybe not. If you're liberal, you just made your second friend.

    The theme is Rants, Raves & Recommendations. All three, all good, all the time.

    An oldie, but a goodie.


    Kevin Smith

    One of my favourite writer/directors. He carries a blog and updates it now and then. Look out for movie sneak peaks.

    This is a great daily visit. Lots of interesting stuff to keep you busy in the down time. Another design guru.

    Mostly gaming content. Look for everything Xbox 360 related. Reviews and other useful info.
