The Lord of the Rings Analogy

[ramzadel]

Hey, last night I was watching Lord of the Rings the 2 towers on my PS3, and it made me think of a cool analogy, lets see if this sticks:

HD-DVD = all of sauron's focres

Microsoft = as sauron

Paramount = as saramon (I don't know if that is the right spelling, but the evil white wizard)

Paramount was once good but turned to HD-DVD when they got all chicken and left the good side, with the help of Microsoft bribing them also

Just like saramon left the good side seeing how sauron's forces are unbeatable and became a traitor so as to stay alive

This sort of hit me when I was watching it, can any of yall thinking of something that happened in this format war that is similar to what happened in The Lord of the Rings, maybe for the bluray side

And oh yeah I know I have wayyyyyy too much time on my hands

Admitting it is the first step.

Acutally what I really wanted to know is when is the trilogy coming out on blue ray, New Line Cinema is for both formats right?

I mean I saw the first 2 movies on TNTHD and they just look gorgeous

Aw crap, I thought Microsoft was Senator Palpatine and HD DVDs were those dumb battle droids. My bad.

Here is my Iraq war analogy:

Alan Bell: Ace of spades
Ken Graffeo: Ace of hearts
Amir M.: Ace of Clubs (neutralized)
Steve Nickerson: Ace of diamonds (neutralized)

More to come in its own thread

I prefer the analogy of Toshiba and Sony being like the magicians Algier and Borden in "The Prestige". And Microsoft is like Tesla. And Paramount is like Borden's wife.

You've got to be kidding.

Hey O.J. How about a nice tall glass of prison?

I have been reading the posts from blu-ray.com for quite a while and it seemed to me that most of you people were nice. I bought a PS3 and felt like I was part of a group, but if you act this way to me for putting this up I guess I was wrong.

Don't take offense. Everybody gets razzed at some point. It's part of being in the Blu family. It's like having thousands of siblings at hand. Say something and some can gang up on you in brotherly comradery. Trust me, I've been razzed about stuff in the past. You just need to be able to sit back and laugh. Think of it this way... it's better than the typical Beef Stew antics!!!

P.S. If you don't know what Beef Stew means, watch the first 15 or 20 minutes of 'Benchwarmers'.

I think everybody's just having some fun, don't take it the wrong way.
