As someone who doesn't collect Britney Spears and Coldplay albums (i'm making an assumption here), you should be used to mainstream America ignoring your tastes. We live in a culture that considers Transformers fine cinema. Blu-ray is worth supporting. Hopefully it will last long enough so that all of our favorites--new and old-- see the light of day.

Great point! Regarding Transformers, that cinematic masterpiece, a few bits and pieces were filmed at Kirkland AFB and a few active Air Force types were in it as extras. Speaking to a friend at Kirkland recently, a lot of folks thought it quite the movie or quite the joke. It is simply amazing that a movie, that is really a two hour commercial for 1980's era Japanese toys, was made into a movie, then I presume made millions at the box office. Then we wonder why America is in the state that it currently finds itself.....

With my current Meridian DVD player, I am going to sit out the HD wars, and hope that Blu-Ray wins. Then after the high end manufactuers get into the game and release their 3rd 4th or 5th generation Blu-Ray machines, and when more real films are released on the format, I shall again jump into the Blu-Ray game.

I just find it really really funny that most think that only old people watch old films. For me, the enjoyment and appreciation started in a film class during high school.

The Criterion Collection, a company that releases classic films on to DVD is itself sitting on the sidelines until a clear picture emerges regarding the HD format issues.
