Blazing Saddles review on Amazon

[radagast]

Dammit these hd-dvd bastards really piss me off. Look at this review on Amazon for the Blu version of Blazing Saddles:

"This is one of the first VC-1 encoded discs for Blu-Ray. The disc picture quality looks pretty good but still is not the tremendous picture offered by the HD DVD version. Apparently there is more wrong with Blu-Ray then just the MPEG-2 encodes of the early releases. "

Following that was a response that exposed the lying SOB:

"I have to believe that many of people that are reviewing the Blu-ray discs have a mind set that HD is better than Blu-ray. DVDtalk said the following about the Blu-ray version of Blazing Saddles; "Now that Warner has taken to using the same VC-1 encodings on Blu-ray that they originally prepared for HD DVD, the same movie released on both formats should be virtually identical from one to the other. In this case, the video transfer given to Blazing Saddles is nothing short of remarkable and belies its 30+ year age." And yet no matter what the experts say, there are people reviewing Blu-ray and comparing it to HD, with little or no objectivity and with the sole purpose of making HD look better. It's funny how politics creeps into everything."

If anyone here has Blazing Saddles on Blu, they should add to the positive reviews on Amazon.

Obviously the jackass with the first review doesn't know the difference between "than" and "then".
