When was the last time you stayed at a fancy hotel with nothing to do, and f0und yourself ordering up one of the hotel’s pay-per-view movie or gaming options?

If you’re like any of the people who often did this, you probably also haven’t done this recently.

Web Watch knows this because we read that HOTEL REVENUES FROM IN-ROOM SERVICES HAVE DROPPED in 2010.

WHEN IT DROPS tells you when new releases are coming out each week


The Amazon Kindle
The Amazon Kindle

The AMAZON KINDLE is great:  whenever a new book release comes out, you can pretty much instantly download that book to your Kindle and begin reading immediately.

The hard part is knowing what books — or movies, or DVD’s, or video games — are being released each week so that you can be prepared ahead of time.  Sometimes things get released and you just haven’t been paying attention.

Video Fun: Reservoir Dogs mashup videos meet Cee-Lo Green’s F*** YOU

So the other day, Web Watch told you about the NEW CEE-LO GREEN SONG “F*** YOU” and how awesome it was.

And it ends up that we were not the only ones who thought so.  FU has struck just the right cord with so many people, that they’ve quickly begun to do FU MASHUPS, where they take the Cee-Lo track and apply it to other films.

Here’s how it looks against THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION:

Movie geeks and the most quoted movie lines of all time


Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Web Watch was looking at plants at the local nursery the other day, and we couldn’t help but say, “Get me a shrubbery!” to the salesperson who was trying to help us.

Needless to say, we ended up making our own landscaping selections that day, and we can’t really say that we blame the retail shop for not providing a high level of customer service to any customer who decides that quoting Monty Python is the best way to get what we want.

But that’s how movie fans are. 

Once we see a film with a great line of dialogue in it, we want to quote that line over and over.  Run it into the ground, if we had the choice.

The Lindsay Lohan and Shamwow Connection

Shamwow
Shamwow!

Linsay Lohan and Vince “the Shamwow Guy” Offer have something in common.

No, it’s not being arrested and having their mugshots plastered all over TMZ and other websites (although that is a good guess from any reasonable person).

No, they are appearing together in a new movie called UNDERGROUND COMEDY 2010 to be released later this fall.

Video Fun: Inappropriate Soundtracks make movies fun again


Hearing the Movies: Music and Sound in Film History
Hearing the Movies: Music and Sound in Film History

Most hardcore movie fans are also fans of film music and soundtracks.

We’ve all seen those cheesy Oscar presentations where they show us how important it is to have music supporting key film scenes, as they demonstrate how a film clip plays out both with and without its accompanying audio track.

But who’s to say that the audio track that the film score composer used was the correct choice?  INAPPROPRIATE SOUNDTRACKS puts the creative side back in the hands of us – the movie-loving public – and allows us to recut our favorite movie scenes with new audio for a completely different experience.
