What in the world? Is March 11th "put every movie we can out on March 11th so Randell has to take out a loan to pay for his movies day?"

Just added it up (again) assuming August Rush and No Country for Old Men (both of which is not on AMZ yet) I will be looking at a total of 199.60..... Oh crap forgot Hitman 227.55

Sell stuff on eBay to finance it. Back in 2002, I sold one of my Fosgate 101A Tate-II SQ decoders to get a new receiver because I was tired of my OLD Pioneer VSX-D1S. Right now, I'm trying to decide if I want to sell another Fosgate 101A to get a Blu-ray player. Or one of my RCA SJT-400 CED players.

It would be nice if the companies would just drop the price of HD titles - it seems like we are back to LaserDisc pricing! I thought we'd never see that again after DVD prices dropped so drastically... I'm now really 'programmed' to not pay more than 15-20 per title!

Yeah, i noticed that too. I haven't even heard of most the films being released. Blade Runner and The Fugitive have been the only two so far that I've been really pleased about although some others were decent. Just hoping the X Files gets the HD makeover!

I look for this movie to be like Dear Frankie, which IMO is a good movie
