1) In the previous post, I mentioned my intense love for Hulu. I generally use it to watch tv, but I have occasionally watched movies through Hulu. They have a nice mix of old and new films in many different genres. The one I just noticed and watched a bit of, was Ghostbusters. Memories of my childhood!
I really don't mind watching movies on my computer, mainly because I have a laptop so watching isn't restricted to an uncomfortable desk chair. I can watch on the couch or in bed, if I feel like it. I also spent several years with a hand-me-down tv with faulty connections, so could never watch DVD's without the tv going blank halfway through. I got so used to watching everything on my laptop that now that I have a (newer hand-me-down) tv that works, I rarely use it.
2) I regularly use Apple Trailers and IMDb to watch trailers for new movies coming out. I tried to watch a trailer for Toy Story 3 on Apple Trailers, but the staff computer I am on doesn't have Quicktime or sound, so it didn't quite work. Alas. Never fear, I have used both sites many, many times and will continue to do so.
3) For the last two years or so, I have been a faithful member of Netflix. I love it and wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Netflix makes it so easy to create a queue filled with movies and tv (some of which I will never get around to watching, but keep in there just in case), tailor the number of discs you want to receive at a time (with a pay adjustment, of course), browse by genre, and rate movies and write reviews for better recommendations. My favorite Netflix feature is definitely the streaming video. In fact, I just finished watching seasons 1 and 2 of Dexter through Netflix Instant. Now if only season 3 was streaming, too...
