Naked Lunch was probably the last movie I thought I'd find on the new HULU.com. Admittedly it was a pretty terrible movie that actually made me dislike the book, which I had previously loved. Nothing could give me nightmares like Burroughs, truly the Sith Lord of the beat poets.
Also available on HULU is Timerider, a movie co-written and scored by Mike Nesmith. I am actually surprised there hasn't been a remake of this one considering how heavily it depends on gadgets and technofabulous ca-ca to entertain. If you haven't seen it and don't care to, its Fred Ward accidentally riding a fancy motorcycle into the wild west era of history. Hijinks ensue.
I was excited about Hulu.com. Finally I could watch streaming movies legally and not the "videotaped in the theater then supercompressed for download" crap that gets, uh, sold in chinatown... but what I found instead was a lot of one star movies that sucked when they came out in the 80's and sucked again when they were on Cinemax and continued to suck in the video store. Don't get me wrong, I still watched them.
