To anyone who has a couple hours to spare, I highly recommend the movie Ink (http://www.hulu.com/ink) (Hulu link). This was one of the most amazing movies I've ever seen. The premise of the movie is that the forces of good and evil interact with people through dreams (or nightmares in the latter case) in order to influence their behaviour in waking life. It sounds trite, I know, but the execution is pretty incredible. Some folks see the movie as a knock on capitalism, and there's clear nature vs. technology dualism at work in the imagery of the good and evil groups, respectively. But I think most people will be able to find something to appreciate. Meh, I'm no critic, just watch it.

It seems that the producers are also "accidentally" embracing BitTorrent distribution. Although there isn't any official torrent for download, they have added a donation button in their site (http://www.doubleedgefilms.com/) and are asking for those who download from BitTorrent sites to contribute. I'm not a lawyer and I don't want to infringe the forum rules by posting torrent links, but from what I have read here (http://torrentfreak.com/indie-movie-explodes-on-bittorrent-makers-bless-piracy-091110/), it seems the producers are very happy with the success provided by the BitTorrent leaks and are pretty much giving the green light to download it.

This would be specially useful for users that are not in the US, because they can't watch Hulu, although I don't know about Netfilx and ITunes.

I haven't watched it yet. I found from the trailer a little bit off from my taste, but I might give it a try because of your comments.
