That's not entirely accurate.

It's a Flash site, the only script is used to detect whether you have flash installed, and there's a Javascript and a VBscript method for doing this.

Of course, if you're still using IE for some reason, I understand why you'd be anxious on the web...

If you disable ActiveX, the site will not present anything.  No requirements, nothing at all.

So the site is not well written.  This begs the question, how secure can it be then?

I didn't click on the link but I do see the name of it when hovering....if it's what I think it is, then if you have HBO on digital cable, try OnDemand (Charter)...all the episodes and short documentaries are there (free -- not sure if it's free if you don't get HBO).  I ran across it last weekend and watched it all.  Kinda artsy and an interesting concept.  Less than an hour of total watching time.
