Sprint is announcing today that they are making available downloadable feature-length films to certain phones:
Among them are “One-Eyed Jacks,” the Marlon Brando-Karl Malden Western, as well as “Angel and the Badman” with John Wayne. Other titles include “Night of the Living Dead” and the most recent—“Short Circuit” from 1986.
“This is what we could get rights to quickly,” said Dale Knoop, Sprint’s general manager for multimedia services. He said the company and MSpot are in negotiations for more current content, but declined to say which studios are involved.
Now we could make fun of the terrible movies, but that is simply too easy. Instead we are going to wonder who would pay money to watch a two hour movie on a two inch screen.
