Hulu is the DEVIL, or at least a very bad case of heartburn.

I discovered Hulu.com a few months ago while searching for vids on Google Video.  Initially they only had a few shows and movies but they got my attention right away with the constant influx of oldish.. but excellent movies.  Like Behind Enemy Lines (dude I crashed), And the Karate Kid Trilogy! (Crane Kick to the FACE). 

Most recently they have been adding a bunch of classic movies like The Call of the Wild.  A Horribly Filmed/Produced/Edited movie based on a novel by Jack London.  It starred Charlton Heston and a very intelligent German Shepherd named “Buck”.   Anyway, I found the movie to be enjoyable, even if I was forced to stumble through the horrible voice-overs, music and filming. 

On a different note, I also use Hulu to watch previous episodes of many of the shows I enjoy like The Office, Terminator, the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and most importantly, SNL.

My one and only gripe is the commercials.  Not the quantity, its quite reasonable being ever 20 mins for a movie and every 8-10 or so for a TV show.  Its the content itself… each show or movie you watch, will have ONE sponsor.  That means, you generally have to watch the same, or nearly same commercial OVER AND OVER.  That makes for a very VERY sad panda.  And I cant possibly see how it helps to sell a product.  Honestly… how many times do I have to see a commercial for the Gillette “Venus” Shaver for women?  Especially while watching Dude Where’s My Car?  

In closing I’d like to say this:  Hulu is a great service, and provides excellent entertainment for free.  Just don’t expect a variety of commercials, sure its a small thing to complain about, that’s how I roll!
