In the end, Blockbuster’s delayed second quarter (ended July 4) fiscal results hardly seemed worth the wait.
The Dallas-based rental chain, which canceled an Aug. 12 call with analysts and then postponed disclosing results nearly 19 hours, reported a loss of $69 million compared with a loss of $37 million during the previous-year period.
In a major win for packaged media kiosk vending, Redbox Aug. 5 said it will install DVD/Blu-ray Disc rental kiosks in thousands of CVS/pharmacy locations nationwide, in Puerto Rico and in subsidiary Longs Drugs in Hawaii.

This is great news and cause for celebration! Congrats to John, Karen and everyone at Evil Angel!
Universities nationwide that receive Title IV funding from the federal government are now required to actively help prevent illegal downloads and file sharing among students, thanks to a provision in the 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA).
Liquidation of Movie Gallery and subsidiary Hollywood Video locations may appear to be another nail in the coffin for the traditional video store as Netflix, Redbox and Blockbuster Express increasingly gobble up greater shares of the packaged-media rental market.
But don’t tell that to independent video store operators who are tripping over themselves to snatch up shuttered Gallery/Hollywood Video (and even Blockbuster) store locations to fill a consumer demand for DVD and Blu-ray Disc movie rentals they say the ubiquitous kiosk can’t handle.
Howard from Vivid asks that question on AdultDVDTalk.com
Malice in La La Land is over a $600,000 production and it looks like it.
This company puts out 2 movies a year, this is one of them.
I received an advance screener from Europe. It stars Sasha Grey.
It is supposed to be released in Sept.
The box alone cost more than most companies movies.
This is very close to someone shooting a mainstream movie, great story, great camera, great audio, and unreal sex, for an adult xxx audience.
This movie has the wow factor written all over it.
Not sure who is going to sell it, but I hope it is Vivid.
(Hollywood, CA) They were beautiful, iconic and fun to be around back in the seventies when Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson hit television screens worldwide making Charlie’s Angels one of the most successful shows of a generation. Now X-Play and director Will Ryder are bringing it all to the wonderful world of porn as Not® Charlie’s Angels XXX recently wrapped production in Los Angeles.
A former Oklahoma State University employee resigned recently after being caught using a university credit card to buy tens of thousands of dollars of lingerie, sex toys and other personal items, records show.
Hundreds of pieces of women’s lingerie made up most of the questionable purchases by former employee Cynthia Low, according to receipts reviewed by The Oklahoman.
Other items Low, 44, bought with her taxpayer-funded credit card included video games, DVDs, romance novels, diet pills, beauty products and children’s toys.
Low resigned under pressure in February. She has not been charged. Read more
Last year, Hush Hush Entertainment shocked the adult industry when the company unveiled their newest discovery, the massively endowed, and Caucasian, Whitezilla. Shattering the myth that only the black performers could appear in monster cock series’, Whitezilla went on to slay numerous porn vixens of all ages and colors. Whitezilla split the pussies of young teens in “Sorry Daddy, Whitezilla Broke My Little Pussy”, he showed that he could hold his own with the brothas in “Whitezilla Is Bigga Than A Nigga”, and he made a believer out of experienced MILFs in “Whitezilla Is A Mother Fucker”. However, one accomplishment eluded Whitezilla - an all anal movie.
Retailers all over the internet and across the country reported tremendous sales of the Whitezilla series, but Hush Hush says that the requests for an anal Whitezilla title were overwhelming. “We couldn’t believe we found enough girls who could handle Whitezilla at all, so the idea o
Comparing legitimate websites to piracy sites shows why adult businesses are getting killed
There’s a saying within the online community that content is good, but traffic is king. Online it’s all about getting traffic. It doesn’t matter if you have the hottest content, if no one knows about it, you’re not going to make any money. But for the adult industry, the legitimate websites are losing out to the sites determined to give away all of our content for free. These are heretofore going to be referred to as piracy sites and just to give you an idea how badly the piracy sites dominate the online traffic, I’ve prepared a list comparing the worldwide traffic ranking of piracy sites and legitimate porn sites.
Redbox president Mitch Lowe said the kiosk company would likely bow Blu-ray Disc rentals at $1.50 a night, a premium over the chain’s traditional $1-a-night DVD rental.
Blu-rays will start appearing in Redbox kiosks over the next few months, he said.
A few weeks ago, I went to a party with a friend of mine from the adult industry. This wasn’t a porn party, in fact, my friend and I were the only “porners” there. We met a young guy, in his 30s who was an attorney. Eventually he asked us what we do for a living. My friend replied, “We sell and distribute adult movies.” The attorney replied, “You guys actually sell movies? Who pays for porn anymore, you guys did all those free youtube-like sites.”
Los Angeles police are still searching for a Canoga Park man they say used a machete to stab three co-workers, killing one.
The stabbings reportedly happened at 10:20 p.m. Tuesday, June 1. Few details were immediately available about the investigation, but officials reported that 30-year-old Steven Hill—a web designer at an adult company identified as Ultimata DVD at 7625 Hayvenhurst Ave., near the intersection with Saticoy near the Van Nuys airport—used a machete-type weapon to stab a co-worker after he was asked to leave the building.The exact company was not immediately clear.
Do-It-Yourself DMCA
Hey I know what you’re thinking – “another piracy article from Nate, oh boy.” But the truth is this magazine has been one of the few to really put the focus on piracy education and solutions. Instead of just complaining about the problem, I’ve tried to do my best to explain the various forms of piracy and just how prevalent that it is, in hopes that we could all come together to get on top of this problem. I’ve also started an anti-piracy service that now has over a dozen partners. But there are still many, many studios out there that are seemingly doing nothing to combat piracy. So I’m going to show those studios how to send a DMCA themselves. It’s DIY time – DMCA style!
Negotiations between Blockbuster and its largest creditors reportedly hit a snag regarding revised equity stakes and the amount of additional capital bondholders would put into the Dallas-based DVD rental giant, among other issues, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
With more than $900 million in debt (the majority accrued following payment of a handsome dividend to former parent Viacom), Blockbuster has been hamstrung in efforts to rollout a multiplatform distribution strategy — requisite to survival in a rapidly evolving home entertainment market.
NCR Corp. May 26 said it has begun replacing existing DVDPlay rental kiosks with Blockbuster Express units at 105 Tom Thumb and Randalls stores in Dallas, Houston, and Austin.
Deluth, Ga.-based NCR is rolling out 10,000 Express kiosks featuring $1-per-day DVD rentals nationwide this year through a license agreement with Blockbuster. NCR acquired DVDPlay in December 2009.
Tech-savvy Redbox consumers have been sharing free rental codes for years, but now everyone with a case of the munchies can get one.
Starting this month anyone who buys three Pepsi or Frito Lay products at Kroger grocery stores will receive a free one-night rental code for a Redbox DVD. The promotion, dubbed “Make it a Movie Night,” runs through 2010.

Google’s foray into interactive television via its Google TV platform could be the conduit needed to jumpstart distribution of higher margin video-on-demand (VOD) movies into the living room — thereby possibly cutting Redbox and Netflix off at the knees, an analyst said.
Faced with $150 million in debt principal and interest payments due this year and $146 million available in cash at the end of the first quarter (ended April 4), Blockbuster’s ability to continue operations through the year has again come under question.
Movie Gallery, owner and operator of Hollywood Video and in-store Game Crazy locations, is seeking expedited approval by a U.S. bankruptcy court to hire Great American LLC to administer going-out-of-business sales at nearly 1,300 stores.
Man, these are some nice titties! Tess Taylor of E! series “Pretty Wild” shows she lives up to her reputation!
Bankrupt Movie Gallery, owner of Hollywood Video, will begin shutting down operations in about two weeks, followed by a nationwide liquidation sale, sources familiar with the chain said.
Store personnel at a Hollywood Video in Chino, Calif., confirmed the pending closure, saying the store had been notified April 30 that business would remain as usual for the next two weeks, followed by a two-day closing and then liquidation.
