Movie execs hint at iTunes movie store by the end of the year

The CEO of Lions Gate Studios, a small movie studio that specializes in independent films, let it slip this week that his studio has made a deal with Apple to deliver full-length movies through the iTunes Music Store. Lions Gate studio president Steve Beeks confirmed to Apple Insider that the iTunes movie service will probably launch before the end of the year, hedging that: "We know when [Apple is] planning on launching, but since they have not announced it publicly, I do not think it is our place to say anything more about that."

They better be a watchable on computer size. The music videos are so tiny, it's not worth my 2 dollars, when l'm trying to be a good soul by purchasing them.

OOOLLLDDDD NEWS!!

Seriously, this is like a week old. I like that you have started to update the site at weekends a bit (as not so long ago, the weekend brought no updates at all), but don't just fill with old news, its better with no news.
