Re: Does your significant other enjoy Blu-ray/HDDVD as much as you?

Jason, that's funny because I was just getting ready to call Skyhawk a thread hijacker.

Sorry

I guess I couldn't help myself!

But personally I found this kinda sad:

That day may never come and we may end up being together "unmarried" in the eyes of the government. So be it.

SO BE IT?

I guess I kinda take freedom and equality for granted. In his place, I'd fight tooth & nail for it. And they think soldiers in Iraq are spreading "freedom"? Time to fight at home IMO. But it's only a matter of time. Last I head American women can vote, and lately white people can even marry blacks legally! So freedom is happening... just a bit more slowly down there. Think they'll ever make sex-toys legal in Texas? I'm prejudiced with that sort of thing, because I don't think big government in our lives is a "good thing".

And neither is a "significant other" who doesn't see a difference between HD and standard definition.

I never intended the "So be it" to be a downer. I am fully aware some states, in my lifetime (29 yesterday), will allow us to get married. But I'm also well aware there is a possibility some won't. I don't do anything piecemeal, never have and never will. Therefore, it's not about stopping the fight for equality it's about recognizing the next generation may be the ones to reap the benefit and not me. (And none of this civil union or domestic partnership bullshit either. Marriage, just like everyone else. Same rights, benefits and all that jazz. Anything else is still "separate, but equal.")

PS-on the SD/HD difference, Jim doesn't notice detail in anything. Some of it is his eyes and some of it is he just doesn't care enough to examine what he's looking at. Won't read directions either...

Hey Skyhawk don't feel bad, I was only kidding you know you're one of my favs here. And Jason you are the reason why I said significant other in the title because I value you're input as well.

Even though she says she notices the difference, she doesn't care a bit about HD. She's not a movie buff like me, much less a tech buff.

Mine is the same as most here....she sees the difference but according to her "if it was up to her she'll still be watching vhs"...but she does enjoy the hi def movies...

WOW You guys have been busy...

My wife can see the difference, but doesn't get why we have to change to a new format as of yet. She's the kind of girl that doesn't see the relevance in HD media. As long as she can watch it, that's all that matters. When we watched ET last night, she had it on a SD feed, and I almost fell apart... I quickly changed it to the HD feed. She thinks I'm crazy...

my fiance and I are very compatible, shes very into movies, and likes tech stuff aswell, even though she lets me handle most of the research etc. plus with the bonus BB cards from work, and from the credit card, she thinks is cool how im able to buy most of the goodies, spending only a minimum amount of my own $$

Shes eager to get the disney classics. and enjoys high def movies very much. she just hates how I get asked about it thirty million times a week.
