HULU LIVES!! TWO FILMS ON THE BLOG

A present to all of Hemingway's Lounge groupies. This week, HULU launched.

So just what IS Hulu? It's an online video on demand service that offers video sharing that kicks the booty off of YouTube. According the President and Chief Operating Officer of NewsCorp, it's designed to be "a single source of free, on-demand programming from some of the most popular studios and online networks, helping viewers quickly and easily find and enjoy the premium content they are looking for." The service is a joint venture of NBC Universal and News Corp. Providence Equity Partners has also made a USD$100 million equity investment and holds a 10% stake in the company

So, as a test, I will post "The Big Lebowski" and "Sideways," two of my favorite films in their ENTIRETY.

Happy watching! AND TRY NOT TO SLACK TOO MUCH AT WORK! A few caveats, though... You have to endure more than a few ads and some (not all) of the films are the family-safe versions. Oddly, "The Big Lebowski" is the R-version and "Sideways" is not which is a shame because crucial lines of dialogue were altered.

MY FIRST LIST ...

Maybe they didn't like his singing...


I don't know what to say... The weirdest shit ever.


Crappy quality, but still, a good slap


This little kid could hit. Watch out, infidels!


Not a smack, but, damn, hurts just the same. Or worse.


More foot action, but with no sound


An Arab and a Turk rumble HARD. too bad I can't tell who is who.


HILARIOUS -- This little kid gets rocked... HARD


and finally ... not a smack at all, but just as funny. I don't wanna know how this dude wound up on a treadmill, I just thank Allah it was captured on video.
