And that spot is Prescreen.com. Prescreen.com is a unique hybrid of Living Social/Netflix for lovers of indie film and filmmakers alike. Indie film lovers will eat up the stuff they serve, while directors get the chance to connect and promote to audiences they may not normally reach. Essentially, they help spread the word of under-the-radar, yet unbelievably deserving films. With their streaming video-on-demand system, they offer a new, top-notch indie film each day for purchase &#8212; but you can watch all the trailers for free. That said, the folks at Prescreen have compiled the trailers for all the movies they are playing at Sundance in one convenient spot. You can watch everything from Sean Penn&#8216;s impression of a Nazi-hunting member of The Cure in This Must be the Place to the Yo Gabba Gabba-esque acid trip Don&#8217;t Hug Me I&#8217;m Scared to the Anthropologie/Urban Outfitters commercial that is the new adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

<p>Considering <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em></strong> has a built-in audience of millions and millions, it really doesn&#8217;t need any marketing &#8212; but that doesn&#8217;t fans like me won&#8217;t eat it up.</p>

Then there&#8217;s the bitchy and cynical (bynical, if you will) part of me that dismisses them with a pretentious eye roll. You&#8217;ve already read my whole rant about that 25 Random Things post that someone started. And once again, I got seduced by another &#8220;Note.&#8221; Someone posted a list of 239 movies and if you have seen at least 85 of them you have no life. Being the movie junkie I am, I started marking off all the movies I&#8217;ve seen on the list. I couldn&#8217;t stop. I was mesmerized by this list. Before I knew it, I took 10 minutes out of my life to post this on my FB page; telling everyone that I had no life because I watched 159 of the movies featured on the list. Then, one of my friends posted another note titled, &#8220;Books the BBC doesn&#8217;t think we have read&#8221; &#8211; I am really tempted to sort through the list and let people know that I do, in fact, know how to read.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Part of me says that this whole &#8220;fill out this list&#8221; trend on Facebook is growing on me. Then there&#8217;s the bitchy and cynical (bynical, if you will) part of me that dismisses them with a pretentious eye roll.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve already read my whole rant about that <strong><a href="http://blog.dinoray.com/2009/02/08/has-facebook-jumped-the-shark/" target="blank">25 Random Things</a></strong> post that someone started. And once again, I got seduced by another &#8220;Note.&#8221; Someone posted a list of 239 movies and if you have seen at least 85 of them you have no life. Being the movie junkie I am, I started marking off all the movies I&#8217;ve seen on the list. I couldn&#8217;t stop. I was mesmerized by this list. Before I knew it, I took 10 minutes out of my life to post this on my FB page; telling everyone that I had no life because I watched 159 of the movies featured on the list.</p>
<p>Then, one of my friends posted another note titled, &#8220;Books the BBC doesn&#8217;t think we have read&#8221; &#8211; I am really tempted to sort through the list and let people know that I do, in fact, know how to read.</p>
<p>Then, I saw a note asking people to list all the pregnant people they know. Once again, I must say that I am really happy for all the pregnant people I know (especially my siste) but I felt that I needed to speak on behalf of all of my cynical single (cyngle, if you will) brethren. </p>
<p>I am at that age where everyone around me is coupled, getting married, has or is about to have kids. Although I am happy for all of these couples, I can&#8217;t help but turn the volume up on my single dial and have a little bitchfest.</p>
<p>As a part of this dying breed, it&#8217;s good to have fellow cyngles around you. My main cyngle gal, Janet, lives on the opposite coast and we have long conversations about dating, single angst and other &#8216;woe is me&#8217; topics that infect the lives of late twenty- and early thirtysomethings. </p>
<p>The other night, Janet and I were having one of our late night cyngle phone conferences and we came to the realization that she and I, along with three or four others are the <em>only</em> single people in our crew. This led her to believe that we missed some sort of &#8220;Coupling Conference&#8221; that all our friends went to. As a result, we have remained single all these years while our friends procreate and walk hand-in-hand in relationship bliss.</p>
<p>That said, I want to start a new note on FB. I want to start a list of <strong>1.)</strong> People who are <em>NOT</em> pregnant. and <strong>2.)</strong> The most gag-worthy moments that happened when you were around a couple.</p>
<p>Until then, can you please keep me informed of any &#8220;Couple Conferences&#8221; that are slated for the near future? I would love to attend one.</p>
