Ya know I love doing the ‘It’s Not A Rip-Off, It’s a Homage’ segment on the show. Well, was watching the 1967 middlebrow classic ‘In the Heat of the Night’ tonight on Hulu.com and happened to notice that whenever the conspicuously fin-shaped bad guy’s car show up so does the echo of a familiar tune, (see clip above).
Was John Williams inspired by ‘In the Heat’ when he wrote the ‘Jaws’ theme? I say, consciously or not, he must have been – those fins are just too big.

Ah, not fair – hulu won't stream outside the US!

hey, i've got an idea – let's put together a great new service for streaming video content then cripple it with IP blocking – just like DVDs!

i may possibly have a few belfastian friends that may have possibly used this, and verified that it does indeed work.
