LOL

Please don't stop posting. You've said some pretty funny things in the past but in the last hour alone you've made me laugh out loud 3 times. Keep it up

I'm pretty certain the Universal version is the original Gilliam edit for US release (which was very similar to the European version). As you probably know it never made it to general release and was instead chopped up by the studio execs and given a 'good triumphs over evil' ending where they both lived happily after! I first saw it as this version and couldn't believe how different the intended version was when I finally saw the Criterion one on laser disc.

More movies from Universal would be great, but it is a shame that other studios are not taking a stronger interest. It looks like blu-ray still has the lions share.

What stats are you using?

292 BD titles available versus 282 HD DVD titles available at the end of August.

10 title difference? Less than 4%? And you call this a "lions share?"

How many movies have Universal released so far in 2007?

How many have yet to be announced if they still meet the 100 movie target?

HD-DVD: The Universal loss for Movie Studios

100,000+ units a week in possible Blu-ray Disc sales LOST by Paramount and Universal.

Can anyone say, "Morons"!!!

How dumb is the guy from Paramount who inked that deal for HD-DVD exclusivity with Microsoft? Or how about the guy from Universal that decided to go HD-DVD.

Do they still have their jobs?

Universal & Paramount are in the same sinking ship.

The "Universal Blunder" has a nice ring to it.

Merry Christmas Paramount & Universal. No bonuses this year!

Let's see if you are dumb enough to miss the 2008 Holiday season as well.

Cause Sony is just raking in the profits because of Blu-ray right?

Nobody is making any money off the HD formats. Not Disney, not Samsung, not Sony, no Paramount, not Universal, not Fox, not Lionsgate, not Weinstein, not Magnolia, not Toshiba, not Pioneer, not Phillips, not LG, not Microsoft. NOBODY.

As far as losers go in this war, everybody is a loser. Nothing short of mass inception will create a winner.

So please, next time you want to go ranting around exclaiming how horrible one thing over another is, know your shit first. We don't need trolls here, and we don't want them. I'm all for spirited knowledgable debates though. . .
