Click - First BD50! (also Black Hawk Down & Talladega Nights)

[Chris Beveridge]

I swear I'm not trying to bring avs stuff here but the comments about this release are great. I've now seen it said that

1) Click is being aimed at the "ps3" demographic

Well, duh, that's someone in their 20's to early 30's who has money and an HDTV. You know, people with money?

2) That since it's a 107 minute feature it doesn't count. Black Hawk Down will be the real test.

Of course, there's the fact that the extras are in HD - you know, the area that everyone keeps saying both sides are faltering on, not providing HD extras.

What really gets me though and it's unstated is that:

0) BD 50 is science fiction and will never happen.

Gee, can anyone remind me WHO said that and who agreed with them? I seem to remember at least a few people.

The talking points keep disappearing and the new ones are even more amusing since they smack of desperation.

Click! may not be the ideal movie for a BD50. BUT it is one of the first movies to come out on HD using the new HD cameras for its original filming so it may provide quite a lot of detail to be seen. Other reports that sony is looking to shift 3/4th's of their production to BD-50 (because of mpeg2 of course) will allow for movies to go past the 25 gb mark but also leave plenty of room for the extras.

We're looking to actually get what we've been asking for and some folks keep moving the line. It's good in some senses but in others it just makes me laugh.

I'm all the happier I'm no longer able to post since it's reduced my stress level and I'm actually enjoying my stuff more now that I don't feel like I'm constantly trying to defend it since as things are now out and coming out, it's defending itself.
