Why all the bad movies

[shido]

Why are there so many crappy titles released on DVD? Crappy titles exist - that's a fact of life, especially when the Hollywood studios like to pump out the same, formulaic crap year in and year out. Why are there more of these titles on Blu-ray compared to HD-DVD? Because Blu-ray got more studio support. Otherwise, you'd be seeing the exact same thing on HD-DVD. We all want the big blockbuster movies to come out in HD, but that will take time to do. First, many studios may not yet be convinced if either of the HD formats would take off anyway, so they're a bit hesitant to invest significantly in them. Second, and probably most importantly, if they do decide to release something big like Starwars, LoTR, or Pirates, they need to make sure the release is absolutely flawless. Otherwise, it might have the adverse effect, and drive people away from the format. Imagine if Spiderman came out at Blu-ray's launch, complete with the issues that plagued the format's early releases. There would have been no recovering from that. I'm sure all studios know this, and that's why they're taking their time with their big titles.
