strarz_real.jpg imageRealNetworks and Starz (the cable channel) have launched an online movie distribution service with a monthly flat-fee, similar to Real's Rhapsody music service. Called 'STARZ! Ticket on Real Movies,' only around 100 movies are currently available on the $13 a month service, although I would imagine more are to be added in the future. What I'm most dubious about is the quality of the films -- the Reuters report mentions a 20-minute download time for each movie, which seems way too small to download a high-quality file. Of course, a compact file size could be good news if they want to start pushing these DRM'd files out to mobile devices.

Clearly, we don't have enough incompatible formats for music download stores, because Real Networks has decided they can make a real dent in the marketplace by offering yet another me-too music download store - but with increased copy protection that no one supports. Thus, you can download songs from Real, but you won't be able to play them on just about any digital music player right now. How does this benefit consumers? That part isn't clear.

Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience


Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience
03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Yesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were whini ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize that going to the movies is a social experience. It's not just about the content (though, that is important), but the overall experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go -- even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that story pointed to an article in China noting that this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done. After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience, putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.

Hogzilla is real. And now, he's real
dead.
03/22/2005 05:00 PM
Xeni Jardin: A team of National Geographic experts with nothing better to do confirmed the existence of Georgia's monster hog, "Hogzilla."
They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the 1,000-pound, 12-foot hype generated when Hogzilla was caught on a farm last summer and photographed hanging from a backhoe. Donning biohazard suits to exhume the behemoth's smelly remains, the experts estimated Hogzilla was probably only 7 1/2 to 8 feet long, and weighed about 800 pounds. The confirmation came in a documentary aired Sunday night on the National Geographic Channel; it will be rebroadcast Wednesday and Saturday.
