Make the images smaller - they tend to load slowly on slower-ish connections meaning the text/title changes but the image is of the previous movie. Cue confusion ;) Otherwise pretty good show.

Also how about doing a mobile version if you can, that would be snazzy (Iphone yeh!) :D

I'd be interested to see the rankings you get from this.

It's running from the server in the attic just now so it won't be as snappy as possible! Our intention would be to put the images on a CDN at some point. In the meantime, would a loading spinner on the graphics avoid confusion with the title text?

Yeh that is a good idea! I think that was the major problem - the the images didnt disappear immediately when I clicked.

Kudos for posting a home-hosted site to HN! thats like the pinnacle of hackerdom :D
