Re: MATT DAMON IN HIGH-DEF

The "I'm F*cking Matt Damon" sketch from the Silverman (?) girl is funny...but better is the one Kimmel did with Ben Affleck...hillarious!

rambo is fat

He's JUICED!! :p

"i vant your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle."

Overlooked... Matt Damon in THE DEPARTED - last year's winner of the Best Picture OSCAR, and which the Blu-ray edition has outsold the HD-DVD combo edition.

-JIMI (the Voodoo Child)

uh, jimi, that is a dual-format release. i was referring to format-exclusive titles.

Does Love(Jimi) ever post anything that doesn't sound like he's trying to sell something?

tim,

jimi has some "jason bourne" bedsheets to sell you.

OK Eddie... how about DOGMA (exclusive to Blu-ray) (and I look forward to whenever Blu-ray Hi-Def versions arrive for both Rounders and Good Will Hunting)

Note to DVDTOWN editors - while you do have a SD-DVD review of Dogma in the database, the search engine doesn't provide results if searching the movie's title. I had to locate the review from the main reviews page under the letter "D" - need to correct this.

-JIMI (the Voodoo Child)

By the way, The Brothers Grimm is available also in HD-DVD in www.amazon.de.

Some warnings though:
The title has german menus, and german speech. One has to go to the disc menu to switch back to original audio, and then again to the menu to switch off the german subtitles (which are automatically activated when the speech is changed). Also there are couple of places in the movie, where there is still some german text ("In the year 1789.. " or something like that). I didn't find that disturbing myself (because those texts are not always the original ones anyway, but translated). Movies in amazon.de are dirt cheap currently, but of course the postage may become a problem.

This is probably common knowledge, but there are also other "blu-ray exclusive" titles available in different european web shops (usually german or scandinavian releases). And it works also other way around, so you people with blu-ray players will find "hd-dvd exclusive" titles in blu-ray. That "exclusive" crap never meant anything, if you are global and open minded Just be careful to check out the disc contents (language options) before buying (and never buy a movie that is "HD-DVD WMV" or something like that, those are not HD-DVD's). I wouldn't buy movies from japan, for example, because that is one of the languages that I cannot read at all, the menus would be problematic.

EDIT: I tried to make the post more readable, I am not native english speaker, so pardon my language...
