Just got an email from MovieStar and they write:
Always trying to be innovative, before summer we hope to offer Movies and TV show to users as digital downloads, so you decide to get the DVD, or download to the PC.
Interesting. Could we soon finally have a usable, legal movie download service in Ireland?
Perusing the Oscar nominations list I realised how living in Waterford has pole-axed my cinema habits. Back home in Cape Town I had the choice of 7 or so cinema complexes all of which were good quality. Here in Waterford we have one dingy complex that I have been to two times too many. I saw more films at the cinema during my months holiday to South Africa than I have seen in over a year here in Waterford. Supposedly Dungarvan has a nice cinema but driving 45 minutes for a cinema is crazy.
Waiting for DVD is now my habit.
Of the Oscar list I have seen just 8; The Devil Wears Prada (good), Cars (entertaining), Pan’s Labyrinth (brilliant), Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (entertaining), Children of Men (very good), United 93 (good), An Inconvenient Truth (very good) and Superman Returns (disappointing.)
