Michael Moore’s newest film, Slacker Uprising, is now available to watch for free online at http://slackeruprising.com. The movie also available on Lycos, downloadable via Hypernia, on DVD via Amazon,coming soon iTunes! iTunes and in HD on the Apple TV.
The following is a synopsis of the movie straight from the site.
“Slacker Uprising” takes place in the wake of “Fahrenheit 9/11,” during the run-up to the 2004 election, as I traveled for 42 days across America, visiting 62 cities in a failed attempt to remove George W. Bush from office. My goal was to help turn out a record number of young voters and others who had never voted before.
Wether you agree with Michael Moore’s politics or not, it’s nice to see someone bypassing the studio route and releasing a movie directly to the people.

CrunchGear has an excellent article on the absents of the Apple TV at this year WWDC. I agree with the author that we should not count the Apple TV out just yet. However lets also face one fact; for now the only way to rent HD is to do it from the ATv. It makes me wonder, will Apple release the software to all mac users? There are plenty of people who use a Mac Mini in a home theater setup, and giving them access to rent would no doubt increase the number of people who rent and buy movies. I for one would love to see it more users means more support not only from Apple but Hollywood. Full Story on CrunchGear
We received a tip from site member CJ about a post over at the VUDU Support Forum asking why the Apple TV offers more HD new releases. Apparently VUDU users also have a bone to pick with the studios and how they distribute movies. So don’t feel so bad Apple TV users about the selection of HD movies you have to choose from. It could be worse, you could be using a VUDU.
Apple Movie Junkie, formerly Apple TV Junkie, is the official blog of Cinemira. We provide a helpful service for users of the iTunes Movie Store and the Apple TV. AMJ was born out of a surprising shortcoming on the Apple TV after noticing that there was no easy way to find a list of all new HD & SD rental titles released on a daily basis. AMJ fills that niche with a daily list of new movies.
