I feel sorry for the average consumer that gets into HD. That may seem unlikely, but I'm sure it happens--I doubt it's only audio/video geeks like us getting into it. So much for plug and play. There is way too much info to be gathered and not enough loose ends tied up by the manufacturers.

Yes, HDMI gives us one simple hook-up solution, but good luck trying to figure how to get that one cable to do everything.

Just ranting in general. Just watched Spiderman 3 and am still peeved I'll never get those two hours back. . .

Ha ha. I haven't seen it, mostly because of Tobey Maguire. Tobey Maguire has to be one of the most unattractive people to ever play a superhero. I can't stand his face when he's straining. So to whoever is my enemy on this message board, please change your avatar to Tobey Maguire's straining face if you want to break me.

Oh, man, I just had this vision of everyone on the board using Tobey Maguire avatars.

When you say straining, I picture him in the bathroom after burrito night. . .

Yes, I'd like to have back the two hours I spent watching Spidey 3. I, too, find Maguire to be an unattractive person. The thing that bothered me most about that movie was that, at one point, all these lovely women were supposed to find him so irresistibly attractive. I'm pretty good at suspending reality for purposes of theatrical enjoyment, but that was just too much for even me to swallow.

However, in the right role, I can accept Maguire. I liked him in Seabiscuit. Though, if I thought about it for a minute, I probably could come up with a few actors I'd have preferred in that role.

Yeah, I didn't buy into that for one minute--the girls suddenly finding him attractive what with him and his new hairstyle and bad dance moves. He was starting to make me feel uncomfortable.

It just felt like most of the actors were on autopilot.

Could be a Blueray thing.

I didn't think the movie was great, but when he thought he was a stud and dancing on the street my wife and I were killing ourselves laughing. I got a new respect for him in the movie because he pulled off the scenes really well. Trying to be cool and hot and not coming close...

Here's a couple shots for you guys..

The movie, watch the expressions of the girls on the street, not impressed at all Ha.
Dancing

Reality is even worse,

I know what that snow is on the screen. it is not the tv or anything else.i have that movie and it is zoom on the camera.because they do need to zoom way in on some parts and we all know what happens when we zoom way in on something snow.
