Does offer unique parallel insight into the HD/Blu Wars, though:

- "Audiences didn't need it, and they don't want it!
- "The studios and companies are deciding this for us!"
- "Two competing formats only means two losers!"
- "Who cares, if we can't record on it yet?"
- "Only neurotic home-theater buffs can shell out that kind of dough!"
- "Oo, 'unique bonus features'!...'You can change the angle'!...They're
toys, who cares??"
- "It's just the same ol' flop-action movies! Who wants one more
version of 'Twister' and 'Lethal Weapon 4'?"
