<facetiousness>YEAH! Everybody that wants big movies is just DUMB! Don't you know how business works??? Jeez! </facetiousness>

I guess what bothers me most is the notion that if we sit back and take what the studios keep giving us, we will still be in this position ANOTHER year from now, and the same statements will still be issued from each side. One side says. "Please give us more big releases", the other side: "Don't you understand business???".

As was deftly noted by others, Blu adoption is NOT identical to DVD adoption, and I think it's a good and right thing to raise your voice to say what you'd like from these companies.

Look at Criterion - taking a survey of what you'd like to have released next, and giving it! Here's an idea - sometimes companies actually listen to their customers! I say, the more folks ask for something, the greater the chance of being heard. Sure there's multiple threads about this, must mean there's more than one person that want's more big name movies to come out.

Maybe the studios will use their forum trollers to get wind of a growing disquiet amongst current consumers and forgo their current release plans, and boost the number of big releases. If they are going to entice new consumers into the Blu fold, they're going to have to bait the hook!

Cheers, Doc.
