According to Om Malik, world cinema download site Jaman will soon release a plug-in that will allow you to watch films acquired through their site on an AppleTV. The plug-in will allow users to find and download Jaman content directly from the AppleTV–kind of like the new YouTube plug-in, except presumably less limited in terms of what you can actually access (Dear YouTube: please let me access my subscriptions via her AppleTV. Your Friend, Karina). Also, Jaman’s downloads cost money — usually, $1.99 for a 7-day rental, or $4.99 for a permanent download.

Jaman currently has about 500 titles available online. Their library skews heavily towards semi-obscure foreign festival films, but they’re also building a small cache of 70s-era American “erotic classics,” such as Cinderella 2000, which is described thusly: “Braving the Fornication Police, a wise-cracking, sex-sniffing robot, and the government’s impotent omnipotent leader who’s not “up” to the task, sexy Cindy must overcome every erotic obstacle and funky musical interlude to be with her prince.” And yes, this one sentence has motivated me to start a Jaman account.

    Your blog entry inspired me to buy http://www.scifisoftcore.com because it’s suuuuch a great name. I’ve been meaning to do a b-movie & Sexploitation podcast for a while. :)
    I LOVE Cinderella 2000… that one review you see under it? That’s mine. Erotic Musical!
