“I’m the Idiot Who Bought an HD-DVD Player”

Okay so this guy has some points here and there. Tactics here and there were shady and all in all I’m pretty bummed about the death of HD-DVD. The article mainly circles around the idea that the “Idiot” who was an early adopter of HD-DVD, was basically a cheap skate, and wanted too be cutting edge without cutting their wallet. Hey, I totally agree. I’m in with that circle. But take this into consideration, I got a high definition video player, which upscales amazingly well, with 5 free HD-DVDs, for $99. And yes, they did come! I got all five last night (several months later but hey they did come). With Bluray, back in Nov 2007 they were around $349 at the cheapest, and then Bluray movies at around $30 a pop. Given later on Sony jumped on the free movie band wagon, and started offering Bluray discs with their players as mail in rebates. Anyhow, jump ahead a couple of months. Continue Reading »

So seriously who is this guy? I found the link from Digg this morning. Kinda funny, kinda scary. Although it’s probably all fake, it was good for a laugh. Enjoy.

Paramount decided to push back the Christmas release date of JJ. Abram’s Star Trek to May of 2009. Sad times. In that future time slot it has no competitors in the box office as of yet.

Okay so this is a little late. But I just found out about it and I’m pretty stoked. Supposedly the new 26 part mini-series will begin airing during the FALL 2008. Wolverine and the X-Men. Sounds a little cheesy to me, but from the trailer it looks pretty good. Marvel is really capitalizing on their biggest name though. I mean really… who doesn’t like Wolverine!?!?
