Sneaky

When I first saw that last post, it felt a little "familiar" so I just skimmed it, and I almost missed this line: "HD DVD can make a solid counter-strike with the upcoming Transformers HD DVD and other exclusives in order to grasp that group."

Did we forget that for every Transformers on HD DVD there is a Spiderman 3 and Pirates of The Caribbean on Blu-ray? I don't refer to these two titles as any sort of cinematic achievements, I merely point out that all three films were indicators of the whims of pop culture this past summer. Given that fact, their box office performance should be indicators of their strength in pushing an given medium, and Transformers was the lowest grossing film of the three.

I understand rooting for the underdog (Arrested Development/Firefly anyone?) But lets not shy from the truth.

Aren't you glad there are checks and balances in the world?
