>>>I've been told that the Car Fu Cinema piece is a special effects fan's dream,<<<
Sounds like he's commenting on a film he's never seen.

>>>even if they didn't care for the film, had still hoped for the maxed-out video data rate and top-notch lossless audio that would have made this a must-have A/V demo purchase on Blu-ray regardless.<<<
Must have a movie you don't like? uh huh.

>>>If the studios give us lackluster releases for lesser titles, what's to stop them from backing off the quality for major blockbusters?<<<
Nothing, but they are more likely to invest the time and money if they know it will sell well, and/or make more converts.

>>>Quality should be of the utmost importance, regardless of the movie.<<<
I agree. Unfortunately, in practice that was never the philosophy for DVD, and doesn't seem to be for BD either.

Warner isn't the only studio to put out *ahem* less than perfect BDs.

>>>Now I'm sure some people will view this drama, the boycotts and internet traffic, as a bunch of crazies going overboard.<<<
Ya think? Can't imagine why.

Despite being a fan of the original cartoon, I never had any intention of buying this disc. Hell, I got queasy, just from the trailers.
