This is going to be one of those posts that bugs you if you think that SFist is prohibited from running news that affects people who live outside of city limits.
So: you like to watch movies on your cmputr. Good for you. You've probably noticed that it's sometimes hard to find the title you're looking for -- iTunes? Amazon? Fandango? Netflix? Hulu? InfomercialsITV? Each one has some movies, but not all movies.
The good news: Hollywood is coming to the rescue. They're supposedly working on one website that'll point you in the right direction for any movie -- whether a rental, a DVD, movie tix, or torrent. (Well, probably not torrents.) They're testing a few names for this service with users now. The bad news: all of the potential names are absurd. And taken.
Flickz.com sounds like a line of girl's dolls, and is being squatted for $4,088.00 according to name.com. RedCarpetFlix.com sounds nasty, and is parked via godaddy. Film Depot sounds like a hardware store -- or a camera store, which is what it currently is. And MovieMarket sounds like a tacky memorabilia shop, which is what it currently is. Well done, marketing department.
But whatever. Frankly, it doesn't matter which lame name we wind up stuck with ... as long as we're finally able to figure out where to go online to watch the Blossom movie.

This complaint is less about being prohibited from running news that affects people who live outside of city limits and more about being prohibited from running news that no one really gives a fuck about. A post about the domain names being squatted for potential online film websites? Really?
You are welcome to choose not to write about it on your own blog if you find it boring.
Is thepiratebay.org already taken?
I have absolutely no idea what's going on here.
I mean seriously, none at all. Can you re-summarize in a format that's able to be understood by people who haven't read whatever prompted this thing?
No time to explain! THE FUTURE IZ COMING
I seriously hope you don't get paid for this. Go back to twitter.
What is that? Is that porn?
www.filk.com
Although it's probably being squatted and also already has the connotation with, well, filk-singing.
