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.
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.
Hey! I almost forgot to post that TCM is playing Miyazaki movies every Thursday this month, starting with Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke tonight.
I'm watching them right now AIFG!
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.
I have to ask what AIFG stands for. I've made a good faith effort to look it up or figure it out on my own. To no avail.
Spidra, it's the evolution/abbreviation of this: [link]
Dang it. I *looked* in the FAQ. I really did! I guess it's time to see the opthalmologist.
Thanks, all.
eta: Shoot, I'm really mortified. I get to be "that RTFM jerk".

You should have been wearing it on your head.
Nah, don't sweat it. I never realized the acronym wasn't in there until I checked just now.
I'm pretty sure that's on the list of FAQ updates.
