Holden, does this mean Bobby doesn't need to watch the last 20 minutes now?

Bobby, how could you turn off North By Northwest with only 20 minutes left?? Isn't it driving you nuts to find out what happens? (And did you get to the really wacky part yet?
I finally picked up The Prestige on Blu-ray! I'm kind of bummed about the fact that it doesn't have a DTS-HD track. However, the quality is still AMAZING.
"Has anyone ever told you that you overplay your various roles rather severely, Mr. Kaplan? First you're the outraged Madison Avenue man who claims he's been mistaken for someone else. Then you play the fugitive from justice, supposedly trying to clear his name of a crime he knows he didn't commit. And now you play the peevish lover stung by jealously and betrayal. It seems to me you fellows could stand a little less training from the F.B.I. and a little more from the Actors Studio."
I've never seen North by Northwest.

I just started it today and turned it off with about 20 minutes left.

I think I'll finish it later.

In other news, Zodiac has 17 positive and 2 negative at this point.

Yes, that's one of my favorite features of the new media discs. That and the new DTS-HD encoding. The audio tracks are out of this world and I haven't even heard the uncompressed tracks. I can only imagine how awesome they are.

Austruck, you're crazy. You know that?
I think I have taken on too many freelance projects. I have ten student papers to grade, a book to copyedit, another book to review for the author (in terms of content), a paper to proofread for an MS candidate, a novel to tweak in time to enter a Mar. 15 contest, and a writing assignment to finish for a course I'm taking.

Head's gonna 'splode. Wait, maybe that's the sinuses talking...
I've got the HD-DVD drive for the 360, love the quality. Quick load times, no jumping back and forth between menus.

I'm even considering getting a PS3 just for the Blu-Ray when/if I return from Jordan.
For Sony's sake, I hope so. It's really the only way to justify the overall development arc of the PS3.

That said, I am looking forward to trying it. I hear it's lovely, and most people seem to agree it's somewhat superior to HD-DVD.
I've been trying, Yoda. Perhaps I have a bad teacher.

Well, Blu-Ray seems to be doing rather well at the moment.
Before you become a Jedi, you've got to stand on your head and lift rocks in the air.

Think about it.
