The Fountain is out on DVD/Blu-Ray

edited July 2007 in Social Entropy++
Go see it. One of the underrated classics of 2006, IMO. Also hated by many, as well, but it still deserves to be seen by anyone with an open mind.

    I heard there are some major flaws in this movie. It looked cool but I dunno. I'll probably check it out if it hits the bargain bin.

    Also, please stop mentioning blue-ray, we just switched over to DVD's dammit.

    I know blu-ray and hd-dvd's are pretty pointless and stupid right now, and a hi-def format won't really become totally adopted (in the same vein as DVD) for probably another 5 or more years, but I have this movie on blu-ray and let me tell you it looks amazing.

    It's just like...fuck. And DVD's cost LESS to produce than VHS but oh my god if you don't have them you must be poor so here, shell out thirty fucking dollars for it

    GOD if I have to switch again I'm going to be so pissed.

    I was initially a little dissapointed in it just because I was expecting a different film. But for all that it was still pretty rad.

    The upgrade from VHS to DVD was a much much bigger leap than the DVD to Blu-ray/HDDVD jump is. I mean.. do you really like VHS that much? It was such an awful format.

    Like I said, 5 years when most people have and can afford all HD equipment, a switch will happen. I'm guessing blu-ray, as it's already vastly beating HD-DVD in the current format way, and actually looks a little bit better since it can hold more memory.

    I haven't even switched, The Fountain is the only blu-ray movie I own, and I was fortunate enough to get a PS3 for xmas. Until there's one unified HD disc, standard HD players in my computer, and relatively cheap HD players on sale for my living room HDTV, it's pointless to do it.

    edit: And yeah, the jump is really small in quality but big in price. Upconverted DVD's on HD displays look very good. blu-ray/HD-DVD is just for the videophiles or high-rollers right now mostly.

    Agreed DVD is better, the next thing is always better, but do we fucking need it?

    It's the leap in fucking money that's what sucks. At first I resisted, but then pretty soon the whole store is DVD and girls look at your video collection and go 'ew', don't you have DVD's yet? Don't you care about things?" And then in order to have sex I have to start buying DVD's goddamnit, next it will be these blu stupid things and then chips in my fucking brain god
