All filmed content ends up on the Internet.
Whether it’s twenty seconds long or three hours, shot on a Red digital camera, Go Pro or a 16mm film camera, or viewed on a desktop computer, laptop, cell phone, AppleTV, a Kindle, or whatever — movies, music videos, TV shows, web videos are blasting their way across the Internet right this very second and being viewed by somebody somewhere in some location.
It’s a watchable entertainment overload!
Which is a great thing. More choices means more people can find videos that are specifically tailored to their individual taste and viewing habits.
The Internet has forced all transmittable moving image formats onto a level playing field. As consumers, we can now watch just about anything anywhere — granted, of course, that you’re either signed up with five different subscription services or are a devoted Internet pirate. But, that’s another story.

Looking for a cheap laugh?
As the Video on Demand wars heats up, Amazon has started really ramping up their own online offerings. Yes, they still sell DVDs, but now they sell tons of movies that you can watch either on your computer monitor or download to a mobile device.
While, of course, Amazon is banking its VOD business on getting top Hollywood content, lots of smaller distributors are allowing their releases to be available on VOD in addition to selling DVDs on the site as well. Plus, Amazon’s longtime CreateSpace DVD on Demand business is also allowing for VOD, directly giving filmmakers some VOD power after they’ve been locked out of iTunes, Netflix and/or Hulu.
Renting feature length movies on Amazon usually runs about $1.99 to $2.99, so if you’re looking for a quick cheap laugh, these quirky, oddball little movies might satisfy your needs.

Let’s get the warning out of the way first: The first episode of Jason and Brett Butler‘s web series, Larry & Burt’s Gut Rot, is way Nsfw. Frankly, I can’t imagine the Butler brothers making anything that was Sfw. But, what I can tell you is that Gut Rot is offensive, profane and pretty much hilarious. Larry (Brett Butler) is the most pissed-off pizza delivery guy you’ll ever meet while Burt (Jason Butler) is a stay-at-home loser. Their adventures trying to bring order and common sense to a chaotic world is a futile battle not worth waging. But, luckily they do because it’s funny watching them try.
For those familiar with the Butlers’ previous work, such as the film Confusions of an Unmarried Couple, one of the more surprising aspects of Gut Rot is that — odd enough as it is to say — the series is...
