    i had an economics prof that wouldn't turn his mic off when he went in the hall to talk with students or when he went to use the restroom. and yeah, i don't remember hearing him wash his hands and if you had personal issues to discuss it was best to wait for office hours. the guy was greata prof, but the added comedy of bathroom noises really made the class worth while. his name was Stormin' Norman.

    Why not just partner with IMDB? No need to reinvent the wheel.


    If I were Sony I would quit reinventing the wheel as much as possible... Sony is going through $$$$ like a drunken whore. Emphasis on whore.

    Pioneer, I hope it's not too much to ask to add SACD on your Blu-ray players one day. I still have my DV-79AVi I'm holding on to, 'til then :)

    Well, this just confirms my prior assumptions regarding the pointless frills of Blu-ray. Seems like yet another beta technology that has been foisted upon customers who didn't enough enough common sense to demand that it be finished first.


    After paying a small fortune for an HD television, a Blu-ray player and then paying a premium price for the movie itself, I would be extremely pissed off to find the " special features" were broken, or just half-assed additions that were no better (or maybe worse) than the DVD versions. What do they seriously plan to add (other than the increased resolution) to Blu-ray movies that isn't possible on a 2 disc DVD set, or that we can't get via the internet that justifies that premium price?


    Yeah, I understand HD is supposedly better than the second coming of Jesus (the Christ, not Diaz), but seriously, all these "extra features" on Blu-ray strike me as a slice of processed cheese on a lamp-warmed burger. Are we really supposed to care, or be willing to pay extra for that? I haven't seen anything "special" on Blu-ray that made me wish I had it.

    I kind of gave up on this glorified pop-up video after the plane-pickup in Hong Kong.


    Does anyone who watched the whole thing know if Nolan was asked why there wasn't a commentary track on the disc in the first place?!

    Christ Nolan, of Batman... saying "lol" and "brb" like a 16 year old girl? I have either just lost a lot of respect for him, or just lost a lot of my childhood like belief that the person giving the commentary was actually him.


    A bit of both, actually.
