Good score man! Haven't seen Hostel II yet, let me know how it is and especially how it looks on Blu-ray.

Sure thing man I haven't seen it or Superbad yet.

Sony should have never been allowed to purchase a movie studio.

Has anyone seen this little video going around:

The humor definitely requires a bit of an open mind and the ability to laugh and not take it too seriously.

thedigitalbits has a little write up about it, but they didn't post a link to the video:

One last note today... there's a viral video that's been circulating around the Net on YouTube since the weekend, related to the "decline" of a certain high-def format in the wake of Warner's recent decision. It uses footage from a recent foreign film with, shall we say, somewhat "revised" subtitles. We've been getting hundreds of e-mails about it, including from many of our friends at the studios and elsewhere around the home video industry, as it name checks The Bits. We're not going to link to it here, as the obvious comparison it makes between said high-def format and certain historical personages depicted in the video is... well, not in the best of taste. But yes, we have seen it. Yes, it is very clever. And yes, we did get a pretty good laugh out of it around here. 'Nuff said.

God, I love it, you post this in response to someone saying that Sony shouldn't be allowed to buy a studio, yet it's okay for Toshiba to do it?

What movie studio does Toshiba own?

Sony bought and owns Columbia Pictures and MGM.

I thought he was referring to the rumor that Sony supposedly threw money at Warner for Exclusivity.

 

[darthviper107]

I thought Microsoft paid of Paramount/Dreamworks for their exclusivity?

No... I was referring to Sony owning Columbia/Tri-Star, as EVILFACE mentioned.

Wow. I'm up to 4. But that's because I've been trading off the free ones I got and going halfsies on the BOGOs with my girlfriend.

Along those lines, anyone wanna trade me for my Resident Evil: Apocalypse?

 

[King Darkness]

Just got done watching RE:Extinction. Didnt get a chance to watch it in the theater, I really enjoyed it. Much better than part 2 IMO.

And it looks PHENOMENAL on BD!!

Is this the first WB title to be Blu-ray only, or is it coming out on HD DVD as well.

Edit: Nevermind. It's coming out on Blu-ray, HD DVD, and DVD on 3/18.

Technically, that's not right. The HD DVD will be delayed until April 8, to allow "exclusive" time for the Blu-ray on store shelves.
