Watching movies and tv shows online....

I'm watching Iron Man right now!

Yes watching movies through the various online services such as Netflix and Hulu is excellent, right Stogi?

Stogi do you like The Princess Bride

I don't watch TV shows and movies online. I prefer to watch them on a big screen.

General comment for everyone:

Let's try and clean up or acts a bit on the overly sexual/potentially sexist jokes.

Thanks :)

Well, I don't know what things said to begin with, but I love Hulu.  Hulu is pretty much the best video site on the planet, with pretty much any decent new tv episode, and a couple stand-out movies, like Ghostbusters, I'm amazed that the entire thing has been agreed to and put-together.

Hulu is pretty awesome...though nothing beats piracy.

Yeah, except for legally streaming whatever you'd pirate, and rewarding the people that created whatever it was by viewing commercials from the sponsors so more content of similar quality will be created.

I'm fully backing Hulu because I want to see more and more shows and movies going up.  If Hollywood and the small screen find Hulu successful, that's much better for me.  Rather than finding a rare show I used to like, or a movie out of print via questionable methods, I'd much rather be able to check one quick and easy site to stream it at the cost of one short commercial for roughly every eight minutes of screen time, at the worst.

Do you use any pop-up/ad blockers for your web browsing? Watching ads became a thing of the past when TiVo came out. But like I said, Hulu is pretty great.

I have not altered the state of firefox from how it was installed, in regards to pop-ups and advertisements.  Any blockers that are on are built into the initials settings of the browser.  It does block some pop-ups, I think, but I know it doesn't block all, as I get one nearly every time I access NWR.

I do see advertisements as revenue screens, and have considered installing ad blockers before, then decided not to, entirely because I don't think it's fair to the website providing the content.  If a website's advertisements are incompatible with whatever my browser has as a feature, that's their problem, because FireFox 2 is a pretty common browser.

Whenever I think ads are overbearing or too much, I do change the station or channel, or I stop visiting the site on a regular basis.  If they want my page hits, they can find a way to adverstise in a way that's less obtrusive to whatever I'm observing.  It's unfortunate to find something good on the radio to have it interrupted after three minutes of air-time with ten minutes of ad time.  I don't listen to it then, and find something else.  Capitalism, buddy.  It's why we have so many forms of media out there for us to enjoy.

I do not approve of this behavior, unless the film is otherwise unavailable.

But I'm picky about video quality and things like that, so just ignore me.

That's all well and good, but it's usually not the artists but the corporation they work for (same with sites and other forms of media) that want your last stinking dollar. So I say "POWER TO THE PEOPLE!" and then download all the music I want for free.

I don't think it's illegal. I don't make music to sell it, and I'm sure 98% of artists would agree (it's especially true when those artists are deceased). Plus, it's all about the live shows anyway. That's how they make almost all of their money.
