‘Hulu Plus’ to debut May 24, provide more content for $10/mo

Hulu’s free days are numbered.

The Los Angeles Times had the scoop today that everyone’s favorite TV streaming service Hulu will start charging a fee for its users who want the most access, a relatively modest 9.95 a month for access to back episodes and movies. Free users will still be able to stream the most recent 5 episodes of their Hulu favorites, while even paid users will still have ads shown to them during the shows. If that sounds like cable to you, you’re not alone.

I would make an awful superhero

I saw ‘The Dark Knight’ the day it opened, pretty much as soon as I could. And for a good twenty minutes after the credits rolled, I was convinced that I wanted to become a crime fighting desperado, a real-life Bruce Wayne/Batman. Thank goodness that reality set in soon after I emerged from the theater into the bright summer afternoon.

I frequently misjudge the distance between myself and walls, which means I’m usually walking into them; professional superheroes, I’m told, can avoid this. Most importantly, unlike Bruce Wayne, I’m only 5′1″ and would have had a hard time intimidating the cretins of Seattle.

Love it or hate it, Glee will soon sing again

The quirky Fox program took the musical world by storm last winter, and will continue to do so on April 13th.

Though I can’t sing (neither can many of them) and I can’t dance (let’s go back to Schuester’s Golddigger performance), I can appreciate the throwbacks to high school and not-so-subtle ironies in the show.

It would seem that many can also embrace their inner Gleek. In its maiden season, Glee won best musical or comedy television series at the January Golden Globes, trumping Entourage and even The Office.
