    American Idol - Season 5

    The fix is in. Chris and Kat McD. for the final two. Taylor's not going to last long with songs being switched at the last second and god knows what else. Total garbage but what do you expect from a reality show, you know.

    American Idol - Season 5

    Performers: Kat was screechy as usual and looked like a banana unpeeling herself. In front of her dad. Sick. Kellie's hairstyle was something out of There's Something About Mary. At least she knows she's bad though. Elliot brought it but the cartoon tie was terrible. Paris is going...

    HD-DVD cover art design by Universal (is crap)

    You can please everyone though. If the cover just had the original poster art with no cheesy soft drink sqishes and banners than everything would be cool.

    Would you refuse to buy the winning format if "your" format loses?

    Laserdisc aficionados had valid reasons why not to buy into dvd in the begining. The audio sucked, 16x9 discs were sparse, and a lot of dvds had hideous compression problems. Fortunately all of those things were cleared up and were never a problem again. ;)

    Starship Troopers Versions Superbit, SE, vs. original.

    With an eventual Blu-ray release on the horizon i don't think the difference between the Superbit and the SE is that compelling. Here's a comparison between the HD version and the SB version scaled to 1080p. The 2-disc SE does have some excellent features on it though.

    Snappers are a type of case, not an art decision.

    Reviewing HD software...how to do it? Dan from DVD file has some interesting thoughts

    Because some discs will look and/or sound better than others and tech-freaks like me love reading about that stuff. :D

    Reviewing HD software...how to do it? Dan from DVD file has some interesting thoughts

    The disc should be reviewed on a system that can display full 1080p. The disc should be compared to the dvd but also the version that's been seen on HDTV if possible. Whether or not the extras are in SD or HD should be mentioned and their picture and sound quality should be noted...

    Eight years into DVD...

    Universal, Sony, and Disney don't know what they're doing most of the time.

    HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: The Fifth Element - April Fools

    I don't think the Bluray version would be that good. Better than the dvd, yeah, but there are far better HD transfers out there.
