The shake is done,this will close in the green today.IMO
L2 is looking good ,the Ask is very thin between .03 and .05.I'm adding more here...nice Volume..we should get some news soon per Otto.Go EZTO

I saw that,he can call his broker and get it adjust no big deal.What's with the 100 shares lots?

I think you're right,well it's ok with me because i'm thought the OS was 109m when i bought in so 2 M more then the selling pressure will be gone and it'll run.Not much risk here at the fire sale price and BSIC ran out of shares.IMO
EZ
Thanks for clearing that up.
MIKE
He's wrong..the Pr dated dec 6-04 stated that the OS was 109M/float 39m so there was no dilution at all.BSIC was finally gone in the last 2 hrs of trading.

According to Otto there were no selling from the comp or insiders so there shouldn't be any dilution at all from .07.I wondering why people sold their shares for a 70-75% loss just because of the F/s.
OS/FLOAT are still the same since early dec-04 right?Tia
BSIC is gone ..this might be the bottom, the new buyers will get in once it'd stabilized.A lot of double prints here..we might some more news this week.IMO
It looks like the Movies rental industry is going to a consolidation phase ,if Ezto can get their site run smoothly and do a spin off the big boys will grab it.

DJ Movie Gallery To Pay $13.25/Shr For Hollywood Ent >HLYW
PORTLAND, Ore. (Dow Jones)--Movie Gallery Inc. (MOVI) signed a definitive agreement to acquire Hollywood Entertainment (HLYW) for $13.25 a share, or about $850 million, ending a months-long bidding battle for the No. 3 video-rental chain.
Hollywood also terminated its preliminary merger agreement with Carso Holdings Corp., announced in October, that would have paid Hollywood shareholders $10.25 a share and touched off a bidding war.
In a press release Monday, Hollywood Entertainment said it will pay a maximum of $4 million to cover Carso's transaction expenses. The company said it won't pay a termination fee.
In a separate release, Movie Gallery said the purchase price also includes $350 million in debt, for a total of $1.2 billion.
Movie Gallery, the No. 3 video-rental chain behind Blockbuster Inc. (BBI) and Hollywood Entertainment (HLYW), the second-largest video-rental chain by revenue, with $1.68 billion in fiscal 2003, expects the acquisition to add to earnings immediately. It expects to close the deal in the second quarter.
Movie Gallery (MOVI), which operates more video-rental stores than Hollywood, is No. 3 by revenue, with $692.4 million for the fiscal year ended in January 2004.

Together, Movie Gallery and Hollywood Entertainment will become the nation's second-largest video-rental chain, with annual revenue of about $2.5 billion and 4,500 stores in all 50 states, according to Movie Gallery.
Industry pacesetter Blockbuster has about 5,500 stores and annual revenue of almost $6 billion.
Movie Gallery will operate Hollywood as a subsidiary, retaining the Hollywood Entertainment brand. The two companies have very little geographic overlap, with Movie Gallery concentrated in the Southeast and Hollywood in the Northwest.
Movie Gallery President and Chief Executive Joe Malugen will be chairman, president and chief executive of the combined company. Hollywood shareholders and regulatory officials must approve the transaction.
To finance the all-cash deal, Movie Gallery said it secured a line of credit from Wachovia Bank, of Wachovia Corp. (WB), and Merrill Lynch & Co. (MER), both of which also advised the company on the transaction.

In March, Carso, a unit of Leonard Green & Partners L.P., agreed to pay $14 a share for Hollywood, but negotiated the price down to $10.25 a share in October after Hollywood's stock fell below $10.
As part of the renegotiated deal, Carso agreed to let Hollywood solicit other bids.
In November, Blockbuster offered $11.50 a share in a deal that would have created a company holding nearly half of the U.S. market for video rentals.
The combined market share of the two chains, however, has been shrinking in recent months in the face of competition from online rental services such as Netflix Inc. (NFLX) and large, discount DVD retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT).
A week after the Blockbuster bid, Movie Gallery, based in Alabama, stepped in with its offer, the terms of which weren't disclosed until Monday.
In December, Blockbuster threatened to launch a hostile bid after Hollywood rejected the industry leader's overtures.
Hollywood shares recently traded at $13.60 in pre-market trading, according to Inet, after closing Friday at $13.05 in composite trading.

EZ2 Companies, Inc. Subsidiary, UplinkUSA, Signs Digital Movie Deal
Business Wire - January 10, 2005 10:19
MIAMI, Jan 10, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EZ2 Companies, Inc. (OTCBB:EZTO), subsidiary, UplinkUSA Inc., has obtained digital distribution rights to promote TLA Releasing Independent films. Integration of an online movie theater into http://www.ez2movies.com has begun where website users can view a selection of movies in their browser in a secure environment.
"This is just one of many such relationships rapidly unfolding," says Otto Bethlen, CEO EZ2 Companies. "We're in negotiations with other studios and expect to complete more deals in the coming months. The expansion of broadband combined with movie studios now realizing new revenue streams are possible from the same content being resold over and over, online."
Proprietary media delivery developed at http://www.flashvideostream.com ensures full Digital Rights Management (DRM) for protection of data. Movies are delivered securely to a PC in a matter of seconds, even for 2-4 hour movies, in a user friendly DVD menu format.
TLA Releasing brings out noteworthy films from the international film festival circuit on DVD/VHS every other month. Many films are multiple-award winners or nominees, such as France's A Matter of Taste (five Cesar nominations) and Km.0 (six film festival Audience Favorite Awards). TLA Releasing has built its home entertainment library to include a rich variety of genres, dramas, thrillers, documentaries, biographies, comedies, gay/lesbian and even a Christmas movie. TLA produces over 3.2 million direct-mail video catalogs, and presents two film festivals annually, operating stores in Philadelphia and New York City, with at least 20,000 rental and 2,000 retail titles.
Otto Bethlen stated: "Since the users of www.ez2movies.com are avid movie watchers, it is a natural next step to view titles there and then, either while waiting for ordered DVD's to arrive, or perhaps to watch others or preview before renting. Online Pay per View is a rapidly growing segment of the internet, with examples such as CinemaNow. It has a subscriber base of 1 million, and in the U.S. market enjoys volume of at least 2.5 million transactions with revenues totaling just under $10 million, triple last year's total."
EZ2movies.com includes a streaming solution starting at 99 cents per title and in the near future, downloads using the EZ2View(TM) installer.
