Blockbuster ditching VHS?

January 24, 2005 at 09:06 AM

Rumor has it the Blockbuster is about to stop selling or renting VHS tapes in stores. About damn time. I'm sure you'll hear complaints, but they'll all be moronic. You can easily find a DVD player for less than $40 these days, if you can't afford that you shouldn't be paying four bucks to rent movies at Blockbuster either.

Zach Braff's Garden State Blog

January 21, 2005 at 04:01 PM

Garden State was awesome, Scrubs is the best show on television, and Zach Braff has his own weblog on TypePad. No wonder I have a man crush on the dude. His weblog is pretty damn funny, too bad he doesn't update very often lately. Hopefully he's busy writing more movies and episodes of Scrubs.

Good news, bad news for local HD with DirecTV

January 06, 2005 at 03:40 PM

They're going to start offering local HD channels by the second half of this year, but it's using a different technology that will require a different receiver. Good thing I've put it off this long.

Grande sucks.

Jessica Simpson's dad likes her boobs

January 03, 2005 at 11:07 AM

This dude is starting to creep me out more and more. Check out this quote:

She just is sexy. If you put her in a T-shirt or you put her in a bustier, she's sexy in both. She's got double D's! You can't cover those suckers up!

Um... that's not normal.

Update: Here's what he had to say about Ashlee's acting career:

She's going to be a huge movie star. She's like Meg Ryan or Cameron Diaz, with probably more depth. When we're done, she'll play it all.

So not only is he a pervert, but he must be on drugs too!

Blockbuster has dropped the price for their Netflix-competing online rental service again. This time from $17.49 to $14.99, and the price is guaranteed through January 2006. Intriguing.

Blockbuster sorta drops late fees

December 14, 2004 at 08:15 AM

Blockbuster rentals will still have due dates, but now you have a one week grace period after that to get the video in before they sell the movie to you. Pretty cool, but not really a complete abolishment of late fees like they're claiming. It will at least let me avoid those damn times when I have to wake up early and drive the wrong direction to return a video before work. (via Gizmodo)

ESPNU logo

ESPN is launching a multi-media college sports television network on March 4th, 2005. The very first week will include men's and women's NCAA tournament games. I better get DirecTV and ditch crappy Grande by then.

Grande sucks.

Netflix Launches Friends List

December 06, 2004 at 08:37 AM

Nice to see Netflix is adding features to distinguish itself from other similar services. You can now invite friends (both current Netflix users and people who aren't) to share their movie lists with you. You can see what rating they gave movies and see what movies they've seen.

The Graphic Stylings of Ken Jennings

Pretty cool look at all the ways Ken Jennings wrote his name on Jeopardy’s blue player ID screen. I like the phonetic one. (via Authentic Boredom)

I love the MPAA

November 30, 2004 at 10:51 AM

Whoops, I guess I should keep my mouth shut about BitTorrent and the MPAA and RIAA. I take back everything I said here, here, here, here, and oh yeah here. It was all lies.

Oh, and those mean things I said here and definitely here? You knew I was just kidding, right? Are we still homies?

I miss the good old days of the original Napster and even crappy AudioGalaxy. (via Jeremy Flint)

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

November 29, 2004 at 02:01 PM

IGN has a review up of the sequel to one of my favorite recent games Prince of Persia. Looks like they're not happy about some of the changes that were made but overall still think it's a pretty great game.

Jeopardy guy loses!

November 28, 2004 at 05:55 PM

Ken Jennings, the Jeopardy guy, is going down on November 30th. I guess I'm a little behind on this, Jason originally posted news of it way back in September. I probably wouldn't have guessed the correct answer, but his incorrect answer was WAY off.

TiVo Season Pass Top 100

November 02, 2004 at 12:42 PM

A list of the top 100 programs that TiVo owners have Season Passes for, plus a list of the top 25 rated programs.

The shows on there that I've got on my list:

  • Lost
  • Joey (for Christina)
  • ER
  • Nip/Tuck
  • Scrubs
  • 24
  • The Simpsons
  • Sex and the City (reruns on TBS for C)
  • The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
  • Chappelle's Show
  • South Park
  • The OC

It's nice to see "Lost" doing so well, but it is kind of disheartening to see all the reality crap on there. The same morons out there that are watching "Survivor" are deciding today's election. Scary. (via PVRblog)
