mine is this documentary i just watched, Confessions of a Superhero

http://www.hulu.com/watch/63282/confessions-of-a-superhero

i'm quite a voyeur, so i like any kind of documentary that digs into people's lives, no matter who the people are. this one is about 4 people who work as costumed superheroes on hollywood boulevard (essentially they are panhandlers).

This is what I watch on hulu.
The Office

Justine; if you like documentaries, did you see Dear Zachary , which was recommended by chronic?

Too bad HULU only can be seen within the US...:(

Try Surf the Channel. I used to catch episodes of, It's always Sunny in Philadelphia on it. (Don't have cable)

 

[Bukfan]

Thanks, Billville, I'll try and surf and see if I can get to watch some of the programs. Maybe I'll get lucky despite the fact that, "For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only.", as they say on the site...

gerard: i've been wanting to see that ever since i saw it mentioned on buk.net but it's never available at the video store.

Net Flix has it and start from the beginning. Net Flix offers online instant feed-if you have a good connection. It's odd that I find half of the characters very irritating, yet I still watch it, like a car accident.

Yeah, we saw that one via Netflix too. Netflix actually finances a lot of DVD releases that are Netflix-exclusive, so there are things you can only get through them.

Ah Netflix... my wife and I plunked down the cash for the Roku box and gave the finger to our cable company since they seemed intent on doing the same to us (seriously, who disconnects cable on Super Bowl Sunday?).

So that, and Hulu, have been invaluable for our Colbert watching and general movie watching. In fact... I'm off to watch Dawn of the Dead now. Nothin' like some zombie killing to get the testosterone flowing!
