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.

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I read that the movie studios support Blu Ray (I hope I'm getting this the right way round) because it's harder to duplicate, and MS and Intel support the other one because they don't want to stand against their customers making copies of movies onto our PCs.
Which makes no sense. It's not like we can easily make legit copies to our hard drives now.
Just weird.
