There’s nothing this planet’s inhabitants like to do than to come home from a day of annoying work, kick off their shoes, sit back, stare at a TV screen for three hours then complain about what cinematic garbage pours out of the minds of movie makers in Hollywood.
But what if, thanks to a tenuous economy and decreasing business, the movie-makers virtually stop and desist from making movies?
Here it is, another new technology gadget UltraViolet, a service which enables consumers to upload movies bought through retailers, people can readily download their digital garbage into one bin, huh, “cloud” and thus keep those Hollywood fat cats unpleasantly plump.
After signing an agreement with (SFX: triumphant trumpets) Walmart –– and with deals with other major retailers looking imminent— the cloud-based home-entertainment system looks ready to play with the big boys.
Indeed, except for Disney, all of the major studios have unveiled UltraViolet movie releases.
However, UltraViolet’s road to super-success has been strewn with roadblocks.
Between its October, 2011 debut and the end of that year — which included the super-important holiday season — it signed up fewer than 1 million accounts. The news get worse than the badly chosen words that intermittently seep out of Mitt Romney’s mouth: entering 2012, it didn’t have any done deals with the biggest of the financial big boys: Best Buy, Amazon, Apple, Xbox, and Walmart.
Then, this March, Walmart signed up and became to UltraViolet what house arrest is to Lindsay Lohan: both saved them from inevitable financial ruin.
The signing helped push UltraViolet’s user base over 5 million accounts and a strong 2012 holiday season now seems certain—which means over 5 million earth inhabitants will complain that they “wasted three hours of my life watching this crap-o-la?!”
