Now and Then Entertainment!

Postby jessea » March 26th, 2008, 7:30 am

I wanted to give out a link to a website that a Pastor friend of mine is building . It is a family friendly entertainment website. All of the content at this point is public domain. There is a Free Pass Login tab that will allow you to view the content. The temporary pass word is Sky King. The link is www.nowandthenentertainment.com

This site is best viewed with Internet Explorer. You may have to click twice on each tab. Also, if you want to view the movies, or tv shows with a larger picture, right click on the screen and zoom in.

Let me know what you think about it.

From my preliminary viewing, I think the site has potential. I would say when the site gets a few hundred more movies, it will be a very desirable site for entertainment.

How awesome was that!? I watched the first 15 minutes of PSYCHO while eating my breakfast cereal! :D

I'll share this site with many friends and family.

The free login password of "sky king" changes tomorrow night. Now is the chance to catch a show from way back.

What a creative idea! And, some work involved in pulling it together. Hope he can make it work financially. $12 a month sounds pricey for the product.

It might be expensive for some. Depending on how the subscriptions are sold, anywhere from $2-4 of that $12 is going to some organization or charity.

Dolfan,

I'm curious as to why you thought $12 is too pricey? What would have been a fair price in your opinion?

Actually, in my opinion, $8 - $10 after contribution seems fair to me. Most of those movies are $5 each to buy and some much more. Furthermore, to go to the movies would cost a family $20 or $30 for one trip.

The product is definitely nostalgic, but I'm not sure that it's too pricey.

$12 a month is not a lot of money, but I wouldn't pay it to see reruns. I like the idea, and I like the revenue sharing with charities. I hope the guy makes a mint. But, for me, it's like paying for FM radio, I guess. I wouldn't spend that much time watching what is offered. HBO and all those premium channels are roughly the same monthly price, and that is a tough sell for me ---- charging the same price as a cable network. If the guy knows what he's got to charge to make money, I assume that's what he's charging, plus 1/3 or whatever for the charities. Most people don't buy because the business they're dealing with is also charitable; they buy because the business is selling them something they want for something they're willing to pay. I just don't know if that model's gonna work for the fellow, but I sure hope it does. Someone else will come along and do this or something like it, and I think he's onto something.
