snagfilms – watch more than porn on your laptop

A couple of weeks ago, the bf and I were having a rather innocuous conversation:

Mike: You know, I know a lotta people that watch movies on their laptop.
Me: You mean like on a plane or something?
Mike: No, I mean they have a TV with a DVD player and everything, and they still opt to watch movies on their laptop.
Me: Oh. It’s probably porn they’re watching, then. Definitely makes sense to watch porn on your laptop. Though, I guess you would miss out on the surround sound….
Mike: Noooo, not porn. Just regular movies.
Me: Wait, so… these people sit in the house with a TV and a DVD player and watch movies on their laptop? That doesn’t make any sense. Can’t see why anybody would do that. You sure it’s not porn they’re watching? Maybe they just didn’t wanna tell you.
Mike: I’m sure.
Me: Oh. Well. Ok, then.

Just a few hours after that conversation, I stumbled across Snagfilms.com, a site dedicated to ‘filmanthropy’ (their word, not mine). Basically, SnagFilms is committed to spreading the word about engaging, one-of-a-kind documentary films. Visitors to the site have the opportunity to watch all of the over 450 available films for free, and – if they see something they really like  – share the film via a variety of social networking platforms, embed it into their blog, or donate cash to the charity associated with each film.

Probably goes without saying that I’m slowly becoming addicted.

Also probably goes without saying that this is a much better reason for using your laptop to watch movies online. You know who you are.
