The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo
Manimal? Nice try. I won't be happy until I can get The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo.

Damn that "Keep it in the homeland" attitude.
In related news, Sony very quietly killed off a payment method on the PSN network this week. Entropay virtual Visa's are no longer accepted, simply because some non-US guys were getting around the IP restrictions and buying movies and stuff in their own filthy commie countries.
Bah!
@Automan
I read the article and immediately went looking for Automan too
Maybe Streethawk next?
Nice.
Cool, Hulu + a VPN connection to my companies office in the states has got me through some very boring shifts at work so I'm looking forward to my productivity dropping even further now.
Tales of the Gold Monkey
please.
Oh wait, I live in the UK.
Forget it, I'll look for a torrent.

That's what's wrong with everything on the web lately, "Only for viewers in the US" - "Only available in the UK", etc...

Although I noticed "Anaconda" was still on FilmFlex for about £3 a little while ago - wibble.
Mines the one with the BeebEm and Repton in the pocket, cheers.
Talk about this today on my show
Thanks for this article. It was a good insight into IMDB and Amazon's strategy. I used it as a reference on my daily tech show on Mobuzz today. Thanks again, here is the episode:

wot a waste
dunno about showing movies, be better if they could actually find some pictures of some actors to go on their pages. Every time I goto IMDB to find some info on a film and the actors in it there are no pics of the actors available . . .database my arse.
