Blu-Ray should totally win the format wars, as it has a name that sounds like a sea creature or weapon or K-mart special.
Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Maybe it ruins my geek-cred, but I'm leaning towards sitting on the sidelines and waiting until the smoke clears before deciding which style of next-gen DVD player to get.
With Larry McMurtry as one of your screenwriters, I'm sure there were a whole bunch of nods to realism (all of which went over my head).
One of my co-workers was talking about the movie at lunch the other day and he kept saying "McMurtry thinks..." Apparently his son and McMurtry's grandson (James McM's son) are good friends and he had a chance to talk with Larry and James about the movie over the Xmas holiday. I can't remember any of the content of the McMurtry view on the movie (nothing was surprising about it, though), but his McMurtry impression was pretty funny. Apparently, both Larry and James mumble a lot and have a severe economy of words in conversations, just like the characters of their novels and songs, respectively.

Jon Stewart will be hosting the Oscars.

I'm going to try, if only because the next-gen DVD players are reeeeally expensive. I predict that whichever one can get cheapest fastest will dominate the market in the end.
