Laughing out loud at work is a bad idea, because people come over to find out what's so funny, and I won't show them.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I now feel obligated to point out that there is a screamingly funny scene in the movie where Woody Harrelson and John C Reilly perform a song that is nothing but a long string of bad jokes, one after the other.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Not just bad jokes, but mostly-dirty bad jokes.
If I had to guess, they're jokes deemed too dirty for the Jokes Show of PHC.

I wavered whether to post this one in Tech or Movies -- Netflix may offer download service by year-end:
Netflix VP of original programming Eric Besner revealed on Friday some of the online rental service's thinking on the movie download bizbiz, saying Netflix is planning to introduce a proprietary set-top box with an Internet connection that can download movies overnight.
Speaking at an Independent Film & Television Alliance production conference in Beverly Hills, Besner said the business model is still being worked out, but the download service likely would be offered in return for the subscription fee members pay for conventional DVD rentalsrentals. Service could launch as early as this year.
Users would add movies they want to watch to their rental queue online as they do now, and those movies would then be downloaded to the boxes overnight rather than shipped through the mail.

My issue with downloading is that you don't get commentary tracks (nor, I presume, other extras), which is one of the main reason I Netflix to begin with!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Assuming that is the case, yes, that would be annoying. I wonder if there's a workable way to do a mix of downloads and DVDs, because there are some things I really have no desire to see the commentary on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I blanch at the idea of another set top box.
