New stuff on Joost

12 September 2007 Rob Buckley Film, Streaming TV, Technology, US TV 3 Comments

Must be some an odd coincidence or something. Just as I finally scribbled something about Joost yesterday, I get an email today telling me about new channels on the aforementioned Internet TV software.

Paramount UK (sorry US readers) now “offers over 30 full-length classic films. Sci-fi’s served up with Star Trek IX: Insurrection. There’s timeless sophistication with Breakfast at Tiffany’s; and tension and thrills with Patriot Games, The Hunt for Red October and Fatal Attraction.” Might I also recommend Shane, The Parallax View and Chinatown?

And Alliance Atlantis now has “Lexx, Total Recall and Earth: Final Conflict”. Incidentally, that’s the rather good Blade Runner-esque Total Recall 2070, not the Arnie movie – which I always liked cos of Sharon Stone, but that’s me.

Now all I’ve got to do is find the time to sit in front of a computer to watch all this stuff – an iPod video is a very handy thing, you know…
