TRASHWIRE.COM » Hulu, the premium YouTube
These days, there are hundreds of ways to watch videos online and sometimes it can be hard to weed out the crap from the good stuff. Sites like YouTube are polluted with poor quality videos or catch-them-while-they-last clips from your favorite TV shows. That’s where Hulu.com comes in. read more | digg story … Read entire article »

Hulu could be awesome
By now I’m guessing a lot of you have heard about Hulu, the new video site which features network TV and full length movies. I posted a clip on here from Saturday Night Live with Jonah Hill that was up on Hulu. The site provides higher quality video and legit content (no user-created stuff) including some videos exclusive to Hulu. Best of all, you can watch full episodes of some of the best TV shows, like, oh, say…30 Rock!!! The only downside is that you have to sit through about three commercials within each show. While I doubt this will replace anyone’s TV or iTunes, it is certainly a great way to catch up on episodes or clips you might have missed. No more do you have to worry about embedding a … Read entire article »

The Oscars: Why Do I Care?
Trashwire contributor Erin Florence Dean brings us her thoughts on the Academy Awards. Whenever anyone mentions the Oscars and their sponsoring organization, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), there are two questions that run through my ever-questioning mind: What is The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and why should I use their opinions to evaluate the quality of a film? read more | digg story … Read entire article »

Grammy Predictions…
Ok, despite all of the drama of some nominee’s I will predict, with no bias, who will win what nomination. I will have to live with the consequences of being wrong forever for your entertainment. Producer of the Year Non-Classical-Timbaland. His biggest competition will be Mark Ronson. Best Comedy Album-Lisa Lampanelli. Competition is Flight of the Concords. If Adam Sandler hasn’t one a music based comedy album then I believe neither will Flight of the Concords. (I still love them and please don’t hate me Alexis) Best Tropical Latin Album-Juan Luis Guerra. Hey I’m spanish I got to represent. Best Latin Urban Album-Calle 13 Best Rap Album-Common. I think Kanye will never win. He will be the Susan Lucci of Hip-hop Best Rap Song-Soulja Boy. I hate to … Read entire article »

Candy lightbulbs, fun for everyone
The dollar store can be a magical place. At first glance, it can seem like a shop filled with cheap crap that was probably made by little slave children in some foreign country, things that didn’t sell when they were in a real store, damaged or slightly askew goods, and lame little trinkets that make you ask, “Who would buy this?!” But, if you look a bit closer at dollar stores, you will see that they can be a bizarre wonderland of crap-tastic items. During my most recent trip to one of these crap temples, I overheard some of the best conversation and found some of the most unique items that I’ve ever seen. A family friend joined us during this expedition and was shocked, to say the least, at … Read entire article »

Please tell me this isn’t true
VH1 had this posted on their blog today: Yes, Britney Spears acts totally, effing insane. But it’s not that’s she’s crazy – it’s because she’s pregnant! Again! If this is true, it could mark the start of the apocalypse. They went on to say: According to numerous tabloids, Britney’s been lugging around baby #3 for four weeks. Apparently Brit even emailed around a pic of the ultrasound last week (she knows how to email?) and the rumored father of her baby, producer J.R. Rotem, has supposedly confirmed the news (er, he probably confirmed it by leaving the country). Looks like another Spears spawn will be entering a world of caring parents and kid-safe living… oh, wait, I mean, they WON’T be doing that at all. VH1 claims: But a baby isn’t going to like growing … Read entire article »

Miss Universe 1929
Starz Denver Film Festival Review: Miss Universe 1929 is the story of Lisl Goldarbeiter, the Austrian Beauty Queen who won the title of Miss Universe in 1929. Told using archival footage from her husband Marci Tenczer, the story follows Goldarbeiter from her childhood through her eighties as she becomes a beauty queen, lives through World War I and II, and refuses to leave her beloved city of Vienna. The story begins and ends with Tenczer telling filmmaker Peter Forgacs how much he loved Goldarbeiter and how he thought she was the most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth. While the story of Tenczer’s love for Golddarbeiter is romantic, the film fails to go into any real detail about the more interesting parts of Goldarbeiter’s life. This is a woman … Read entire article »

Jason Reitman does it again with ‘Juno’
It should come as no surprise that Jason Reitman has made another stellar film. His first feature, Thank You For Smoking, was a satirical delight adapted from a Christopher Buckley novel and now Juno, written by the insanely talented Diablo Cody, is further proof that Reitman is a master of cynical comedy. read more | digg story … Read entire article »

Big Brother resurrected by WGA strike?
Variety reported that CBS could bring back everyone’s favorite summer guilty pleasure a little earlier than expected. It seems that with the writers’ strike, CBS is going to be turning to its reality shows to generate some new programming. BB could return as soon as February and could even be a special Celebrity Big Brother season since there are so many actors (*cough* D-Listers *cough*) out of work due to the strike. Variety noted: There’s been buzz that the next edition of “Big Brother” might actually use celebrities, as opposed to ordinary people. A long strike might work in favor of such a plan, since some celebs normally busy working on sitcoms and dramas might have some time on their hands. While it sucks that great shows like ’30 Rock’ are … Read entire article »
