...lush mountain range behind. "The mountain water is so clean we actually thought about bottling it," says Casalegno as he gestures up the forested slopes. Nobody seems to mind the rustic conditions - after all, the region has spas and resorts aplenty for those who can't live without dvd players, martini lounges and business centers for a week. And besides, after a day's diving, waterskiing or canoeing, you'll be happily tired and probably unwilling to venture further than Paradiso's tiny waterfront restaurant and its menu of locally caught seafood, prepared Italian or Sumatran style. Another highlight...
...rich, rewarding entertainment a few years ago. You begin to wonder: maybe it's time to give film noir a rest. The academics have had their fun with it; no genre has attracted more scholarly attention in recent years. And we've had our fun with it too; the DVD re-releases of its classic titles and cult favorites have been delicious reminders of noir's wonderfully stylized strengths.

Pricing will range from $10 for older movies, $13 for recent hits, and $15 for brand-new releases. In a first test, we bought The Incredibles for $13. The 1 hour and 55 minute movie-1.3 GB of digital video-took just under 40 minutes to download using a cable broadband...
...studio marketing departments don't work well with high-concept campaigns and grass-roots marketing. They're designed to blast radio and TV into the mass consciousness. Stranger still, they seem not to care that marketing a movie's theatrical distribution can boost its eventual DVD sales, which Idiocracy is very likely to score on. (After a modest theatrical run, Office Space went on to sell 6 million DVDs and videotapes.) That may be because DVD marketing comes out of the DVD division's budget, and why help those guys?
