Hulu Ad Failures

I watch a lot of Hulu, and gen­er­ally I don’t really mind an ad or two. How­ever, I hate untar­geted ads. For exam­ple, ads for Mono­stat or birth con­trol pills. I’m a guy. Hulu knows I’m a guy (I checked, its in my Hulu pro­file). Why in the world are they show­ing me com­mer­cials for [...]

Stargate Universe

Just found Star­gate Uni­verse on Hulu. How did I not know this show existed?! I love Star­gate! I’ve seen every episode of Star­gate SG-1. I watched Star­gate Atlantis before vam­pires were cool. This is my show! Any­ways, the show seems okay so far. Lots of time is being spent in char­ac­ter and story line devel­op­ment, which is a huge [...]

Blade Runner

So I was bored, and out of movies to watch, so I started look­ing online for some good movies to watch. Unfor­tu­nately (did I spell that right? I use that word a ton but am never sure if I’m get­ting the spelling cor­rect…) many peo­ple like crappy movies, so this makes it a bit harder. [...]

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Yeah so I am a movie/TV fanatic and watch tons of every­thing. Even crappy chic flic movies when there is noth­ing else to watch. So this movie was sit­ting in my dad’s folder of ipod videos that he rips for my brother and sis­ter. I watched every­thing else and this was all that was left, so I [...]
