Porn Escalates The Next-Generation DVD War and Microsoft Refuses Apple
Economy, Poor Sales Drove Warner’s HD DVD Choice – News and Analysis by PC Magazine Blu-ray wins in my book because they’ve got Disney, but they also win because they have the most expandable space – they’re already burning 50 GB on each side of a disc…50 gigs!

Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Misc Internet Mischief
Sweeney Todd This was a phenomenal movie musical. Haven’t seen the show in 2 years, but it’s Sondheim and Tim Burton and it’s just incredible. The bloody visions of Tim Burton fit perfectly with Sondheim’s bloodiest musical and it’s just beautiful. The film is visually very stylistic…I wouldn’t say cel-shaded per se, but it’s the closest description I have for the visual draining of color that occurs in the film that just makes the blood that much more stark and dramatic. Johnny Depp delivers an amazing performance as the titular Demon Barber. Helena Bonham Carter-Burton is great as Mrs. Lovett – so very funny and very manipulative. Alan Rickman can sing? Holy crap! Is there anything he can’t do? Timothy Spall seems to have gotten a career spike from Harry Potter (Petter Pettigrew) as this is the second big holiday movie I’ve seen him in (Enchanted) but I can’t complain … Continue reading →
