5th quarter means the month of Jan., at least to studio people.
And often times, what people say they intend to do (in terms of waiting)….. and what they end up doing ---doesn’t always happen.

Again, buy as many WB discs as you can this holiday season-- and then let this thing play itself out.

Call to arms! I don't see nearly enough Blu-members with their sigs supporting the cause. The more the merrier folks... turn the tide for blu!!!

shhhhhh the Fox guy might hear you!

[OokieSpookie]

The only real question I have is have steps been put into place to strengthen the Fox release line up and to try and prevent the delays which have become almost a cliche when people talk about the blu format.

If they spend all their time responding to ludicrous bull, then they don't have enough time to finish executing Project Hydra

Are you guys all on amphetamines today or is work just slow ?
Sheesh, I leave for a few hours and come back and this thread has grown something like 4 pages!

I’ll comment on a few posts from back where I last was here (p.354?) and then I’ve got to sign off and run to a meeting.

My dear, I am truly impressed now.
I knew you were smart but, I didn’t know that you have decided to enter a profession of definite self-sacrifice.
Hey, how about bringing some other suicide girls here. Are they interested in high definition major motion pictures seen at home ala on Blu-ray?

B.T.W.
Surgeons groan too.
I think our fellow blu-ray.com forum member brainsturgeon could probably confirm that if he was single during his residency.

They're good guys trying to put up with a lot of cr*p. How would you feel if you setup a gathering place and people mess it up by acting like children? You'd be upset too.

Neo,
The problem is they made their soft bed …… Amen (or should I say A-mir).
And now they’ve got to sleep in it and suffer the long-term consequences of selling their souls and undermining what they were and what they had years ago.

Doesn’t matter.
The 35mm. release prints are dark and the color palette is under saturated…….potentially a perfect set-up for armchair film critics to claim a *bad transfer*.

What I will say is that they have been responsive to many the time I have simply reported posts without making counter arguements to the red side, often those posts I've reported get removed or moved fairly quickly. Tho other times I've been ignored, and generally it seems they will take no action on a red violator unlest a report has been logged...

now the banning of members for posting pro Blu articles is shameful, hypocritical and smells of financial backing.

I tend to not post in their HDM sections and spend more time in the PS3 section (Kysersose allows no BS in his backyard)

I'm sorry, I think I mentioned this several PAGES back, it's just FUD. Stop discussing it, that's what their aim is. Their goal is to have you on the edge of your seat, and worried about it. There are NO studios that are going neutral. Well, except maybe Universal.

Speaking of studios going neutral, does anyone know what in the world is going on with Weistein? Are they going to release on HDM in the near future again or only if a winner is decided? Which way are they leaning? I thought the last I heard MONTHS ago was neutral...

I heard that too, they are probably waiting to see how things shake out with the major studios, I keep hearing they are having financial issues, so they need to make the right choice. Obviously this would be BD, that is the direction everything is leaning right now, and where the momentum is.

Don't really know what the difference is. but uhh yeah. I was suprised that in penton's flurry of emails above, it included various pleasentries with Mysticsuicide, and some movie trivia, but he again passed on the opportunity to put this rumor to bed. bummer.

Blix01, what does that have to do with it... this is very OBVIOUS FUD, if you put together the facts and figures, and look at where it's coming from, it's pretty obvious. I'm not an Insider, just someone who keeps himself well informed on what's going on.
