So having a PS3, I decided to look around the video service when I heard about it over E3. It looked pretty good, but unfortunately, the prices are simply too high for me. I don't really watch movies that often (the only 3 I've seen so far this year are The Atonement, Kung Fu Panda, and Wall-E , all of which were amazing in their own ways), so I don't need to get a service like netflix to satisfy my non-existent needs. However, after seeing the trailer for the onion movie above, it became the sole movie that I want to see right now. I didn't feel like watching a low quality boot legged version, so when I saw it on sony's video service, I decided that whenever I had some friends over with the same sense of humor as me, I would rent the movie and watch it.

(if i had "hit the jump" powers, i would say "hit the jump" to read about my opinions on the PS3 video service and The Onion Movie here).

So the service itself runs pretty well. It's sleek and the organization fits my needs. The only qualm I really have about it is that it just downloads a movie file, and there aren't any chapters that you can skip around within it. When my friend accidentally sat on the controller about 2/3rds of the way through the movie, it restarted the whole thing and we had to fast forward to get back to where we were. luckily the PS3 can fast-forward at 120x, but still, it is annoying to find that specific spot you were at.

The Onion Movie itself was hilarious, and I would highly recommend it to all dtoid leaders (unless you are gay, black, fat, arab, religious, asian, a stoner, britney spears, etc. AND are very easily offended). The following is one of the clips from the movie (update: NSFW!!!)



The movie is made up of all sorts of fake news (like the above one) that seem to be random at first, but at the end end up get tied together in a witty unexpected way. The above video is an example of one of the funnier moments, though there are definitely some that made me laugh longer. Also, I watched this movie for the first time under the influence of certain substances, and it was definitely MUCH MUCH funnier than it was without them, but it was hilarious either way.

update - added a NSFW tag before the clip from the onion movie...
