Any possibilities of retailers making moves to help push that forward? As in...exclusivity? I know this has been a consideration before (I know WM has leaned that way before, but ultimatley to no avail). Cause I'm feeling the same way!

Nonetheless...thanks much for all the info, and a merry christmas.

Just pay for my trip and stay at CES and I will point him out to you!

Do you have her fenced in on your property?

I thought we agreed long ago that feeding her kind of critter and losing the fear of our kind of critter was not a good thing for her kind of critter?

I say…….
“Maya, what did you have in mind?”

She says…..
“How about revealing an upcoming Blu-ray title?”

I say……
“Every time I’ve done that in the past, I’ve pissed off some person in some dept. of some Blu-ray studio for stealing their thunder and I receive a nasty call on my machine.”

Maya says………….
“C’mon………… it’s Christmas tomorrow.”

I say……………
“O.K., I’ll think about it and see what I can offer on Christmas Day, don’t expect much because I don’t want to invoke the wrath of anyone. B.T.W. – how did you like the steak.”

Maya…………

Just a few more lines!!

Did Maya really enjoy the steak, or did someone or something just tell her that it was good steak?? Bliss

Don’t fall for it folks, as he doesn’t need the money.

I make an exception, once a year, for Christmas.
Fenced in, Ha! ……she and the others are wild and free……..hunting is an inherent characteristic, a once a year feast will not diminish that trait in the least.

It hasn’t for years. Trust me.

P.S.
She hasn’t had fear of humans since long before her Christmas dinners began. I think she believes us an inferior species. We may well be in terms of feelings of self-pity, something that doesn’t even exist in a wild animal’s vocabulary…. and they are the nobler for it.

She truly did, as did the others-- because even as I was taking them out of the plastic bags that I carried them up in, I never saw so many ears perked up and noses a snifin overtime in unison.

But, I was the lucky man that day because even though everybody around me was happy, it was far more fulfilling to give rather than to receive………………..

P.S.
If any film aficionados recognize the movie to which that song is played during one of the final scenes, I am not hinting anything here, as I have no idea when that girl will grace our doors on Blu-ray but, me hopes it’s soon as I love the soundtrack of the whole film.

Regarding the above ^.............

Some of us here would sure like to see a certain Woman In Black (mystik with Blu-ray jacket, chaps and black panties ala Jessica Alba ); however, if you can’t wait for that photo, might I suggest you attend CES where I guarantee you that you will be seeing Men In Black playing on some displays……as it be a done project.

So, this means that it should be shortly becoming available to all film fans of this particular title to enjoy in their home theaters once the marketing gurus decide on a debut date based upon their marketing formulas and what not.

In the meantime, catch it in all its glory at CES.

It's nice to see I get mentioned often in your post but yet I never got an answer to my e-mail.

Send it again.......... I must have missed it --or else it is something confidential you are asking me about that I can't comment upon either publicly or via PM.

That's quite an emphatic answer. Does it relate to your previous comment about "interesting news"?

Is that a "YES", the possibility exists, or a YES there is definitely some movement on the North American retailer front that you know of coming down the pipeline to draw the format war to a close beyond what we're seeing on a widespread basis at Target and Best Buy?

If Best Buy shrinks any further the HD Ded Movie section it will be non existent.
Here is hope that they do become non exstent very soon at BB

Hi Penton, Nice to hear that they all enjoyed their "Christmas" dinner in unison and they are all doing well.

Any luck with my own cryptic clue for the film release above or is ignorance truly Bliss and we should just wait and see. Sorry... I need an exit point......so enjoy the rest of the holidays all I'm going back to some festive films to pass the evening.

[Seretur]

Nice!

I can now give my copy of Men in Black away as a present.

[dobyblue]

Thanks Penton - Merry Christmas to you, Maya and all the insiders.
