The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that when pubcast TV4 took commercial breaks during the most thrilling moments of films “Leon” and “Clear and Present Deanger,” [sic] it violated the “integrity and the value” of the films.

The article could just as well be headlined, “Swedish high court outlaws tastelessness”. It’ll be a cold day in hell when America comes around to something like this.

As of yesterday, my 40-inch Sony XBR9 TV set can stream Netflix. Nothing fancy—basic title selection and playback, logical integration with the button layout on the remote, and an interstitial screen to give you some information about the movie you selected before you choose to play. But, playback was solid, no hitches or hiccups, and the quality was great. We watched Delicatessen, which is a richly-colored, beautiful film, and everything looked fine to my eyes. For a free update, I’d say that’s worth a thumbs up. Thanks, Sony.

I’m afraid it’s going to be horribly sensationalist, but I can’t help being interested in seeing restored WWII footage in HD.
