A Very Clever New Webpage

Reid Rosefelt, film guy, has come up with a very clever site called SpeedCine based around the idea of being a one-stop shop for legal online downloading.

For instance, say you want to watch Fatal Attraction RIGHT NOW. You can pull up a page that looks like this...

Everything is linked for your immediate convenience.

It will be interesting to see how the community reacts to this source of completionist information. Will Amazon VOD enjoy competing with free services? Will Hulu feel the need to disallow imdB from posting embeds of their free product?

In other words, does this very clever idea lead to more competition... or less?

I will be really intrigued to see how it plays out with Hollywood.

Are there already sites out there that, say, link to the entire weekly TV schedule so you can pick and choose which free re-runs from the networks you want to watch like you were going through a TV Guide with links?

Well, there are websites that link you to streaming videos of every episode of almost every TV show that's on right, but they're not exactly legal, and a lot of the videos are coming out of Asia somewhere.
