Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals.

Further proof that Andy Samberg is the only one keeping SNL afloat.

the line.

You've got to love Hulu. Not only do they have prestigious films like Hoop Dreams, but they also show geeky web-series depicting even geekier characters. The Line, starring SNL's Bill Hader and The State's Joe Lo Truglio, can now be seen in its entirety at my favorite corporate-owned online media viewing site.

The Line is a seven-part web series depicting two aging geeks (Hader and Lo Truglio) waiting in line eleven days early for their favorite science fiction space opera. Hilarity ensues, of course, as the two encounter people who are even more rabid and hardcore then they are and as they suffer the repercussions from attempting to put their normal lives on hold in order to stay in the line.

The first episode can be viewed above. The rest can be seen here at Hulu. First taste is always free, guys.

Hoop Dreams.

Hoop Dreams, the 1994 documentary about two Chicago teens frantically chasing their NBA dreams, can now be seen on Hulu for free. Granted, there will be commercial interruptions, but for people who have not seen this fantastic documentary and don't want to shell out twenty bucks to blind buy the Criterion Collection DVD, this movie can't be missed. As an example of how powerful this film is, here's what Jason Kilar, the CEO of Hulu, has to say about the film on his blog:

Please, if you have not seen this film, take the time to watch it. You won't regret it. It is a story that is painful and uplifting at the same time. And in my opinion, it possesses perhaps the most poignant and unvarnished line uttered in a documentary over the past 15 years.
