They (Hdud fandrones) are really ripping and personally attacking michael bay ... that's so pathetic and sad.

Now I'm not the world's biggest Michael Bay fan... I can't think of any film he's done that I've really cared for--just not my type of movies. But I definitely didn't run out and buy his latest flick this week, proclaim it to be the greatest and most important video release in history, and then go online to bash the guy. It takes a special kind of insanity to say the best movie ever made was directed by the worst director in history.

Michael Bay has made some great and terrible movies, he's not the best director in Hollywood but he is talented in his own way. Personally I think he did spectacularly with Transformers. I don't get the immature mindset who attack him calling him a hack director (based on his anti-HDDVD views) etc yet they are praising Transformers, when at the end IT IS THE directors vision. If he was anti-bluray........imagine the hDud fan boys!

anyone here want to discuss with the HD-DVD fanboys in exactly what way does HD-DVD provide a sharper, clearer image for us those who want to enjoy the film itself... it has less space and less of a maximum bitrate, and the exact same choices of codecs as we have. why do they stand and fight for a format that can't perform on the same level as Blu-ray?

I've tried asking this question they only come back with it's cheaper and region free, I don't get it hairspray is delayed for HD-DVD because it's region free while we get it in Nov, so TBH I really don't get where these guys are coming from...

They're all just DVDs. It's just a difference of what room they were in when I was entering them. I still have a lot of titles to go, and titles spread around all over the place. So I was entering them in groups so I'd remember which ones I'd entered. If I ever get around to finishing entering all the titles, I'll get rid of the tags, though it is kind of nice to have to remember what room a title is in. But since they get moved around from player to player, the tags would mostly be wrong after awhile.

Yeah, the same kind of insanity it takes to back HD DVD now. :-)

Guys, if you have been following the "Michael Bay story" since Paramount decided to "drop" Blu-ray support and you've carefully read everything that's been said and taken into account legal contracts etc and then put together one and one, it should be clear that Mr Bay is a Blu-ray supporter.
