WTF is Blu-Ray and WTF should I care? - adventy97 Dec 21, 14:27 7
- If you want to visually identify the fabric used by the wardrobe department in a film or TV show, you will need the bluray disc and not the dvd disc -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 14:33
- Blue Ray is the next big star of Hollywood - Danedukenuuk Dec 21, 14:31
- hidef dvd format that won the hidef format war (1080p discs). you might care if you like to have 1080p movies. - tRuMaN Dec 21, 14:29
- it's the man's way to get you to drop 30 bucks on a DVD. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 14:28 3
  - only if you're a sucker. Never buy them when they 1st come out. wait 3 months and they're on sale big time. -- nm - Remlik Dec 21, 14:30 2
    - or wait for amazon to offer some crazy deals. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 21, 14:31 1
      - yep. that's and dvdpricesearch.com -- nm - Remlik Dec 21, 14:32

- how many times do you actually watch your average disc? -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 21, 14:36
- I say skip the Treks, they're not the director's cuts...meaning Star Trek 1 is the theatrical version... - Remlik Dec 21, 14:32 2
  - Seriously? Geez. It's getting as bad as Star Wars. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 21, 14:33 1
    - I know. Hold off on them, I mean christ if *I* don't have them, than that should tell you something. And I really want them. -- nm - Remlik Dec 21, 14:34
- my first choice for a tech upgrade title is always The Fifth Element. -- nm - Max Dec 21, 14:29 1
  - this is the correct answer -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:31

- Fight Club and Princess Bride are the must-owns. nm - Dignan Dec 21, 14:26 2
  - My only qualms about Fight Club is that the DVD set was so cool. The Blu-ray package is so plain. Ditto, Memento. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 21, 14:30
  - seconded -- nm - znufrii Dec 21, 14:27
Avatar: A- nm - Dignan Dec 21, 14:24 7
- (and, oddly, it downgrades The Blind Side from C- to D.) nm - Dignan Dec 21, 14:28 6
  - The Blind Side wasn't blue enough? -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 21, 14:33 1
    - he would prefer if Sandra Bullock had a tail -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 14:34
  - Well, occasionally, I like a movie so much, I think "oh, the movie I see after this is going to suck!" -- nm - con_Kringle Dec 21, 14:30 2
    - For me it solidified that formula doesn't necessarily equal shit. nm - Dignan Dec 21, 14:34 1

- Love the Smothers Brothers - Callisto Dec 21, 14:28
- ah, yes, Christmas music at Tiger's house. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 21, 14:25
i think it will come down to Up In The Air v. Avatar for Best Picture - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:19 35
- You don't think there'll be a major rerelease on noms? - Reagen Dec 21, 14:26 20
  - Summit's marketing dept is horrible -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:28
  - Not enough of one to matter. God help me, I agree with Pixie. -- nm - David Dec 21, 14:28 18
    - FWIW, I don't think Avatar wins unless it winds up approaching the #1 film of the year. -- nm - David Dec 21, 14:29 17
      - if its legs come even close to Titanic's, it will be hard to beat -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:32 16
        
        How are you defining Titanic legs? Not arguing, just curious. - David Dec 21, 14:39 4
        
        It started out kind of slow and picked up steam when girls started seeing it multiple times. -- nm - the liioulu with icicles Dec 21, 14:45 3
        
        yeah, David, geez. -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 14:46 1
        
        I'm not actually sure that it answers David's question. But it is relevant. - the liioulu with icicles Dec 21, 14:49
        
        The 6.88 legs of the HSX variety or the 20.35 legs of the overall variety. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 14:46
        
        It would need to delist around $425 for that to be the case here. - Will Hunting Dec 21, 14:36 4
        
        I think this one is already up to a 35% chance of making a billion. That percentage could be doubled in 10 days. -- nm - David Dec 21, 14:40 3
        
        Not worldwide for Avatar...I mean the Titanic/Avatar combo reaching 1Bil domestic. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 14:41 2
        
        I'd say that's about 50/50 at this point. -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 14:42
        
        I'm still thinking Avatar winds up in the 280-300 range, but we'll know a lot more in the next 6 days. -- nm - David Dec 21, 14:42
        
        If that happens, winning the Oscar would be less of a story than Cameron buying Norway. -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 14:35 4
        
        $1.51 billion domestic total! No, really. I just did the math. -- nm - David Dec 21, 14:41 3
        
        I want $400mil for my next budget. Basically, it'll be $50k on screen and then $399.950,000 for me to swim around in. - James Cameron Dec 21, 14:42 2
        
        I believe the primary difference between Cameron and everyone else is that his mega-expensive movies make you understand where the money went. - David Dec 21, 14:46
        
        Hey, it's three times now that he's spent obscene amounts of money and made it work. - Reagen Dec 21, 14:45
        
        I'm not expecting it to make $70M in its 9th weekend in release. -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 21, 14:35
- I think it's going to be more complicated than that. With 10 nominees this year. -- nm - the liioulu with icicles Dec 21, 14:22 5
  - There'll still be at most three major contenders with the rest just happy to be there. -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 14:25 2
    - *smiles and waves* I will lambaste you all with my manganimity! -- nm - Shambo si Dec 21, 14:26
    - yup. -- nm - znufrii Dec 21, 14:26
  - not really. having more noms is (1) a publicity move so that more movies can cash in on the nomination; and (2) if anything it will dilute the vote - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:24 1
    - It could also dilute the vote for front runners. - the liioulu with icicles Dec 21, 14:27
- though i think Best Director will be Cameron v. Bigelow -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:21 7
  - Bigelow seems to be winning most everything so far, yes? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 21, 14:21 6
    - Interesting showdown. -- nm - the liioulu with icicles Dec 21, 14:24
    - so far. the question will be whether the academy will split the awards b/w Picture and Director if "Hurt Locker" is not Best Pic - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:22 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        there was about one a decade almost like clockwork. -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 14:27
        
        until the past decade, they had almost never done it in the history of the awards -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:25 1
        
        except for the 18 times they did. -- nm - mafic Dec 21, 14:45
WTF. you all got good trailers before Avatar, I got a buncha crap. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 14:17 5
- it's you luck, wanna play Poker? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 21, 14:19 4
  - never ask groiny to play poker in any respect -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 21, 14:21 1
    - pokerface means something completely different to me. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 21, 14:26
  - why, you do not like your money? - groiny Dec 21, 14:21 1
    - actually i don't the new 50 is ugly -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 21, 14:23

- sigh... chopped liver -- nm - Roger More Dec 21, 14:08
- it's not really a big deal. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 21, 14:05 4
  - I'm mixed on this since mw's use less energy to cook things but is it that much less impact than the manufacturing and shipping causes? -- nm - zork Dec 21, 14:06
  - You should write a book about it! -- nm - Reagen Dec 21, 14:06 1
    - "The Lost Oven" -- nm - nubby Dec 21, 14:09

- how do know if she's a witch? ... witches don't arc in microwave ovens! -- nm - zork Dec 21, 13:57
andie: But ... do you have a toaster? (Also, I think we had the microwave discussion before ... it sounds like a healthy way to go. :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 13:55 3
- i have a toaster, and i use my george-forman-esque grill a lot. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 21, 13:59 2
  - ~dream toaster, cause I don't want to eat alone~ -- nm - Max Dec 21, 14:02 1
    - alas, the dream toaster died. this is standard non-dreamy toaster. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 21, 14:04
overkill would have been .. - marcel Dec 21, 13:54
*chugs a beer* -- nm - znufrii Dec 21, 13:54
It's better to burn out than to fade away. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 21, 13:53 7
- that's my line! -- nm - The Kurgan Dec 21, 14:18
- a little WD40 will keep the rust at a minimum -- nm - Zhu-Zhugeist Dec 21, 14:12
- Hmm. -- nm - Neil Young, age 64 Dec 21, 14:03 1
  - I think you chose your path about 25 years ago. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Dec 21, 14:12
- Get busy livin, or get busy dyin'. -- nm - Loyola Dec 21, 13:58

  - I'd love to see you and young Macauley Caulkin doing that side by side -- nm - zork Dec 21, 13:58
  - What I've learned from her and MJ's deaths: If I collapse in LA, do not take me to Cedars-Sinai hospital. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 21, 13:57 5
    - Why? -- nm - con_Kringle Dec 21, 14:02 3
      - No one gets out alive. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 21, 14:06 2
        
        If I had money, that is exactly where I would want to go - con_Kringle Dec 21, 14:10 1
        
        you say that as though only the people who do have the money get out alive -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 14:17
    - and nobody is safe at home any more. - zork Dec 21, 13:59
  - i know. but when i read the news this morning that she'd had flu-like symptoms i thought 'wow, if she died of H1N1 that will be a shocking story." -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 21, 13:57
  - omg, that's DISGUSTING. You should see a plastic surgeon about that. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 13:54 3
    - I wonder if it is the same face you would see when he betrays half his team. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 21, 14:12 1
      - the face IS the betrayal. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 21, 14:14
