Is Netflix Still A Good Channel for Independent Films?
Greg Sandoval from CNet takes a look at small filmmakers and Netflix, Some Indie Studios wary of Netflix partnership. "Netflix is part of that distribution chain, but I advise to make it the last resort" said Tracy Balsz, who consults indie filmmakers on distribution. "You can't make money on ...
Netflix is doing us a favor by delaying their release of Whiteout and Invention of Lying. Two horrible flicks.

First Warner Titles Delayed 28 Days from Netflix
It looks like the first Warner titles to be held back 28 days are the new releases The Invention of Lying and Whiteout, as they both show availability dates of February 16th. Both titles are available tomorrow from Blockbuster Online. Thanks to John and Ted (pic) for sending this in.
Easily deserves it. Saved the public more than $2mil a year on late fees and gas alone driving to Blockbuster.
One of the few companies that is ran exceptionally well.

BigBox DVD Kiosks Rent Discs By the Hour
Video Business reports that the new BigBox DVD rental kiosk company is renting discs by the hour: New releases are 6 center per hour. Blu-ray discs are 9 centers per hour. Catalog titles are 4 cents per hour. The studios must love these guys.
Talk about an idea that's 10 years too early. Just goes to show how important/lucky timing is.
The internet and low-shipping cost of DVDs is what made this idea into a billion dollar business.

Was Video Mailbox The First Movies-By-Mail Rental Company?
I received an interesting e-mail from Brett Bobley that claims his father created Video Mailbox, the first movies-by-mail rental company, long before Netflix or Blockbuster: Video Mailbox was a company co-founded by my father, Peter A. Bobley. They rented VHS tapes by mail back in the 1980's. ...
