(VIDEO) Have Web Will Hulu -- Welcome to Micro Cinema: "The Hawaiians"
So, I wanted to watch a movie last night from the comfort of my home.Despite cable's ON-DEMAND attempts, seems cable is failing our sense of innovation adventure.
See, last night there was nothing listed on cable, basic cable, my IFC/Sundance combo or even the FlixE movie channel to pique my interest. And alternatively, an evening of YouTube searching would have been less passive than I desired, so I jumped back on Hulu.
It'd been a month or so since I looked at Hulu and Joost.
Hulu offerred a full-viewing of the classic Charlton Heston flick "The Hawaiians". Hulu allows you to put all movies, tv shows, and news clips in a queue and actually remembers where you pause the movie.
Enough about online video... passively enjoy the 1970 "The Hawaiians", a continuation of James A. Michener's epic novel, "Hawaii"...
Don't forget the pop-corn,
peace-

So, BBIGD it is to be known!Below, one of my favorite authors, Malcom Gladwell, expands the idea gobs more eloquently than I...
