Gee- I bet that Canadian blue line would be a bit faster with Mike Green on the ice.
Just saying.
Read this one. And I agree with the writer.

Wal-Mart Buys VUDU
VUDU is a digital movie streaming and downloading service. Consumers more and more want to watch films on their computers or on their HD televisions sets in their own living rooms. TV’s and PC’s are merging and blurring. When Wal-Mart enters the market it has certainly gone main stream.
One of the reasons I created Snagfilms was to take advantage of this convergence and to make good work film ubiquitous to large audiences.
I think we have positioned Snagfilms quite well. In 18 months of service we are now streaming literally tens of millions of minutes per month of films to millions of consumers. We are helping Indie film makers. We are helping charities and we are helping consumers and bloggers to self express.
We are an independent company that is trying to do well by doing good. We have a double bottom line and are competing against giant corporations.
Support us today by watching films on Snagfilm and by grabbing a film widget and showing films to your friends. Help us be David to these Goliaths. Small is beautiful.
Three Act Dramas
Brandon Tartikoff was once head of NBC. He was a great man and a great friend.
He told me all dramas have 3 acts.
1. Young kid comes out of nowhere and captures everyone’s attention and heart and is a big winner.
2. Young winner loses and has a gigantic public fall from grace.
3. The comeback- big sweet victory. We all love fallen heroes that pick themselves up and get back at it and win.
NBC is positioned in this 3 act drama now with the Canada men’s hockey team at the Olympics.
Read this article.
This tournament has a long way to go. It will have multiple story lines with lots of twists and turns and lots of drama.
New heroes will be born and some heroes will fall only to reinvent themselves in a different venue.
Olympic hockey is fantastic. I am hopeful that NBC can embrace these moments and do great work in communicating the power of sports on a nation’s psyche. And capture how individuals and teams cope with adversity and how great the state of play of this game is. These games are like All Star games with so much on the line.
We all so look forward to the next week of hockey and never count out the Canadian men’s team nor Russia, Sweden or USA. What a great tournament. What a great ongoing drama. NBC make us proud.
