Buy Movies Directly on Apple TV (No Computer Required)
Following up Apple's same-day DVD release purchasing announcement, they've added a feature to buy movies directly on Apple TV without the need for a computer. Before this, you could only rent on your Apple TV and have to buy movies on your computer first, then stream it. [MacRumors]

Iron Man to Be Released Today at 8PM
In case you didn't know, Iron Man—probably the most gadgety movie ever this side of James Bond—is arriving in theaters today, May 1st, at 8PM. Not tomorrow at 12AM, but this evening. Yesterday, all our West Coast editors had the opportunity to see it at the TechCrunch screening. I caught Jason just before he went to sleep in his crotchless pajamas, and I asked him if it was truly pantsworthy, like we predicted after the trailer. He said "yes, better than Spiderman and X-Men." Oh boy. [Superhero Hype—Thanks Lindsay]

Sources at ONN are reporting that the ultra-popular Iron Man trailer—which already has had a sequel—may become a full-length film at "one point in the future."

Iron Monger Looks Like Badass Old Italian Espresso Machine
Yeah. New Iron Man trailer. Shorter than the amazing full trailer, but with a few new seconds. Tony "Iron Man, it's kind of catchy" Stark still looks like a billion dollars. And Virginia "Pepper" Potts looks like a trillion. Iron Monger, however, looks like a gigantabolous vintage Italian espresso machine, as you can see in this new brightly-lit and sharp beautiful shot:More »

Iron Man New Full Trailer Shows Why It's Going to be the Best Hi-Tech Superhero Movie Ever
I don't know about you, but any trailer that starts with the greatest gadget genius of all time having a morning whisky on the rocks, while traveling through the desert in a Humvee to the beat of AC/DC's Back In Black, says to me: BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE EVER. Which is precisely what you can see in the new Iron Man full trailer, along with everything you would expect Robert Downey Jr's perfect Tony Stark to do, from tinkering with his armor while mixing cocktails to playing with a multitouch holographic display to crashing through his amazing mansion on the edge of a cliff (Bruce Wayne is a wimp) to kissing the redheaded goddess that is Gwyneth Paltrow playing Virginia "Pepper" Potts, his personal assistant. Best quotes ever and poll, after the jump. More »

The 10 Best Movie Weapons of All-Time: The People Speak!
A few months ago, Wizard Universe released a 50 Greatest Fictional Weapons of All-Time list and, as you might have guessed, geeks were up in arms. There were some glaring omissions (Wolverine's claws?) and a serious mixup in the top 10 (He-Man's power sword beat the lightsaber). Thanks to a survey delivered to 2000 moviegoers by 20th Century Fox, the people have decided on the 10 best movie weapons. Let's see if this list is more to your liking. Check them out after the break. More »

MacHeads the Movie Trailer Shocks, Revolts, Intrigues Us
If you thought we were Apple fanboys, you might want to check out this video and readjust your fanboy dial. It's a real trailer for a real movie called MacHeads the Movie, which apparently features real insane Apple users emoting for the camera about how Macs changed their lives. They even talked to such Mac whores as Guy Kawasaki and Andy Inhatko, just to lend a little credibility to their movie. We're still not sure what the film's going to be ABOUT (other than the obvious), so stay tuned as we investigate. [MacHeadstheMovie]

Confirmed: Change Your System Time, Watch Your iTunes Rentals Forever
Update: That was fast. It's busted—or fixed, depending on your POV. See the jump. Movie rentals from iTunes 7.6? Awesome. That pesky 24-hour viewing window once you've started the film? Not so much. And even if you get a little trigger-happy and click play only two MB into the download, the self-destruct timer activates. What if you need just a little bit more time? Or maybe a whole lot more time. We'd heard you could extend the doomsday clock by toying around with your system's date/time. We tested it

Studios Greenlight Downloaded Movie Burning, Caveats Galore
Despite movie download services popping up left and right, most of them haven't reached any kind of mass appeal thanks to limitations on burning to DVD. Some, like CinemaNow, do allow burns, but have some difficulty with certain DVD players. Thanks to Sonic Solutions, there's a new licensing program called Qflix that lets consumers burn downloaded movies onto special discs. More »

Xbox 360 HD Movie/TV Downloads Doing Well, More on the Way
The ability to download HD movies on the Xbox 360 was deemed by industry insiders to be the most successful story in digital downloads of 2006. Movie downloads for sale or rent from the Xbox Live Internet service are doing surprisingly well, and Microsoft is in talks to procure more content from all the major studios, well, except Sony, which competes against the Xbox 360 with its PlayStation 3.

PSP Movie Downloads Coming, Optometrists Rejoice
Sony's UMD failures (we haven't seen any UMD news since July) don't necessarily mean that the PSP is a failure for movies. It just means people hate the UMD. Now Sony's in discussions with Amazon, Movielink, and CinemaNow in order to strike a deal for PSP movie downloads. More »

The Guide To Downloading-and-Burning Movies To DVD
Intrepid Gizmodo friend, Sean Captain explores all the legal options we have for downloading and then burning movies to disc. His finds? Vivid does it first, CinemaNow and MovieLink follow suit. It takes about an 1.5 hours to download on fast broadband, and burning takes a button click. And then, your new movie-on-a-disc looks no better than "a photocopy of a photocopy". Thank you, Sean, for downloading and burning all that porno for us. I'm telling you, the man is a saint. More »
