I think I created this post more for my piece of mind and clarification, but why not share it with the world. So what are the G1 Apple TV users looking at regarding the new rentals and streaming. Read on to find out what I’ve discovered so far.

TV Rentals Do Not Sync or Stream

All new rentals wether they are TV Shows or Movies now download to the new rentals area of iTunes. As Apple TV users we know that in the past once a rental was downloaded we could click over to the Apple TV area in iTunes and transfer the rental. For TV Shows this is no longer possible with the G1 Apple TV. There is no way to transfer a TV Show rental. I was hoping that with AirPlay I might be able to stream it, but that was a no go, at least for now. In theory with the new G2 Apple TV you should be able to stream a TV Show rental or purchase from iTunes.

Movies Still Transfer

With movies, all though you can’t sync or stream rentals, you can still transfer the movie rental to your G1 Apple TV. Again in theory with the new G2 Apple TV you should be able to stream a movie rental or purchase from iTunes.

I hope this clears up some of the syncing and streaming question everyone has. I’m sure as the G2 Apple TV is released along with AirPlay for the iDevices the situation will hopefully become a little more clear.

Cop Out stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as two cops who unravel a moronic mystery served up by an anemic villain born from Rosie O’Donnell and Tony Borowiak of All-4-One fame (‘I Swear’ – you know you remember). Sean William Scott stole the trailer and continued on to steal the movie as his character is pretty amusing. The rest of the cast bears no mention and reminded me of the roster of the Cleveland Cavs when LeBron still fake-cared: Money for one star and 10 guys from the Y fill out the rest. I would bet they wanted Eddie Murphy but couldn’t afford him. And yes I know Eddie is box office death but this movie would have been perfect for him. They even tried ripping off the great Beverly Hills Cop theme ‘Axel F’ by Harold Faltermeyer. Unreal.

The movie zooms along frenetically from plot point to plot point, ham fistedly throwing story arcs around like batarangs. They try very hard to fill your mind with subplots so that you don’t focus on the fact that one of the cops is mentally handicapped.

Plotlines aside, the movie is still terrible. It seems the directors main job was to give Tracy Morgan a face full of meth-laced blow before every scene and watch him scream his lines. Even with the meth I still think it was only a fraction of the ratass crazy swirling around his dome. Unleashing the full force of Tracy Morgan might end the world. I think the Mayans had it right and the end of the world is coming on December 21 2012 when they release Cop Out Deux.

Cop Out is one of the worst movies I’ve seen since last week. There – I said it. No preamble. No waxing lyrical about anything. The extended skit is brutally bad and an insult to Bruce Willis and his tough guy legacy. The movie spreads the chuckles out like a one legged hobo at a candy convention. It has been done better – much better – in many other films. Look for Midnight Run, Lethal Weapon, Hot Fuzz et all.

Get ready for more because it is one of the first of an inevitable avalanche of buddy cop movies coming out over the next few years. They mixed it up with a little chocolate in the vanilla pudding but a mentally ill Tracy Morgan can’t save an inept Bruce Willis. Bruce should stick to Die Hard and The Whole Nine yards threequels. 1 star.
