A step in the right direction...

Good news in an area I've griped about before: corporate anti-consumerism. Steven Soderbergh's new movie "Bubble" is being released simultaneously at theaters, on DVD, and on broadcast television (via Mark Cuban's HDNET). Big retailers like Wal-Mart and the studios have long been colluding to maintain their grasp on movie dollars by enforcing waiting periods between theatrical, DVD, and television release. This move towards simultaneous release gives consumers more choice, which is the direction we need to be headed. The technology is there for these paradigms to be busted.
