Hercules in New York
The Popular Feature Films section on Hulu is a totally unique display of what you get when you take a library of films that happen to be easy to get the rights to, and rank them based on their popularity amongst an audience with a high volume of teenagers. The majority of the films that you’ll find there can be grouped into one of these 5 categories:- Daddy Doesn’t Block Hulu: Movies that are basically borderline softcore porn. I’m guessing they’re popular with teens behind parental webfilters, and those that feel guilty enough about looking at actual porn to be willing to sit through 90 minutes of bad movie just to get to Bonerville, USA.
- Hulu is the New SparkNotes: Movie adaptations of books high schoolers are required to read. Even if the film leaves out a fourth of the plot of the original novel, you can still get at least a C on the test.
- It’s Funny Because it’s a Movie About an Enjoyable Thing That’s Taboo: Marijuana-themed films. Because people who like stoner movies often like free movies even more.
- I Like Him Sarcastically Because the Internet Tells Me I Should: The occasional Chuck Norris flick.
- Amazingly Awful: The defining movie in this category is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first film, Hercules in New York. It’s awfulmazing and should be a required viewing for every 100-level sound class at every film school around the world. Watch it.

The website for the Swedish lads responsible for the spectacular 8-bit trip video. Their site is absolutely amazing. This is the first thing you see when you arrive there:
Hello and welcome to this our sixth edition of perhaps not quite as legendary website. As you may know, we had an accident a while ago. This accident was not known as a “misery misery, now it has gone to pieces” but rather “a joy it is more than one person a month who visit our website”. The fact was that the website was not designed for this kind of overload. More than one person a month, it’s madness. We have now made some adjustments and hope that everything will float in the same old spirit as before.
And the awesome doesn’t stop there. Read about their upcoming project involving “62 pieces of pianos,” and checkout the lyrics they’ve posted for their instrumental music. Seriously. Go.
We have now also find out a way so that we do not have to update the website as we used to be extremely bad at. The plan, which is one of the better ones in the entire universe, is as follows: we fill the website with endless amounts of unnecessary information about everything that people do not want to know so that no man in the world bothers to read through everything on the website. If someone then says, how would it be if you updated the website, it was a few years since last time.The answer is: how would it be if you read through all the useful information available to consult on this page before you come and ask for more, we know that you have not read everything. Not even us have done that.
