Awww . Well if you don't, feel free to click the REPORT TO MOD icon on that forum and see if they feel the same as you. Because last I checked, the thread was still active and not locked.

Don't worry though Pro-B, I was able to prove my case in that regard fairly easy with an image and text provided incorrectly by Blu-ray.com.

I love this dance we have. You point out something in a different forum that has nothing to do with this thread and I respond throwing the whole thread off into a totally different area. Dance my friend, dance.

Cool, There are other people out there who don't know who Wilco is. I thought I was just getting old.... Whew!

Remember, must people do not shop at Amazon. If so, Iron Man would have sold more BD units as its regulary been higher then the DVD in sales ranks. Most people shop B&M stores and the BD will be priced a good 30-40% more.

While I don't agree with the twice as much comment (because its obviously not), most people tend to go the cheaper route when multiple versions are released and a $19.99 MSRP DVD and $34.99 MSRP are different.

I got my copy of Indy4 from Amazon for $18.xx

How ironic! You fabrications aren't that difficult to prove incorrect. Typically they require a quick use of the search option on a few forums.

Perhaps your vivid imagination empowers you to believe so. The reality is: not only you haven't proven anything but you also ended up providing yet another fabrication: a concerned report of people reporting that the Matrix booklet isn't offered with the Matrix boxset. It must be your imagination again.

It has everything to do with your bitter fabrications. Your actions on this forum are simply a natural extension. And this very thread proves it perfectly.

When Wilco talks, nobody listens. Not even Wilco.

Huge Wilco fan here, and I can see both sides of this argument. Having seen "I Am Trying To break Your Heart" at least 15 times, I don't really know if the source material will really benefit for a HD transer, I mean it obvious in most cases where this would help, I would venture to say for most of you that havent seen this documentary, that it might very well be the grainiest piece of film I have ever seen. There would have to be A LOT done to the source material to try and clean up the picture, perhaps even dragging away from the intended look of the film.
I also know how Wilco operates with their fans, and don't like to see them get ripped off... They offer free downloads of their new albums, free webcasts of concerts... a group of guys that get it and do whatever it takes to give back to the fans. I wouldn't be suprised at all if these statements came from the outrage of charging twice the price without consent of releasing the film. The documentary itself highlights a very depressing time for Wilco as a band, and Jeff Tweedy their frontman, as they dealt with issues within their record company screwing them over, and a struggle for power within the band with clashing visions on the direction the band should take. The film itself is not something that Tweedy or other band memebers hold in the highest regard as something to be proud of...but its real life, and documents very well on how this band overcame the inner struggles on their way to becoming one of the greatest rock bands the states have to offer today. The film takes a ride with Wilco as they are creating their critically accliamed "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"
It's a wonderful film that includes some outstanding raw footage from their studio lofts in Chicago, as well on the road. I'll be anxious to see how this turns out, it will be a must buy for me either way... for the mere fact that I love all that is Wilco.

Wilco = indie rock, ya'll. First album released in 1995.

Someone you won't hear by tuning in to local radio generally speaking. This actually increases the chances of the music being worthy since it's outside of the populist drivel with which Distorted er Clear Channel Communications tries to pummel us.

Obviously, the band hasn't done much in the way of research here.

So Blu-ray.com did infact present wrong information then, right? Or shall I link you directly to that post again?

Warner Home Video has announced that they will bring the highly anticipated 'The Ultimate Matrix Collection' to Blu-ray on October 14th. The seven-disc set will include five BD-50s - one disc for each of the three Matrix films, one for Animatrix, and one for "The Matrix Experience" - and two DVDs. Also included in the set will be a hard-cover book with photos and information from the films.

Don't worry, I care very little what you think of me.

Pro-B and Gizmo, you need to release the hostages. We want the thread back.

That was funny. Seriously Giz, why do you bother? You know she will never admit when she is wrong....

Grainier than Darren Aronofsky's Pi?

The same unknown band that sold-out Madison Square Garden on New Years eve a couple years back. Must have missed out since they aren't on the Matrix soundtrack.

[Fettastic]

I just want to know how this idea began:

grain = low resolution

Can someone help me out with that one?

The Wilco that played with 2 other bands for the New Years Eve bash at MSG in '05 did NOT sell out the show. Maybe you're talking about a different Wilco that played at MSG at a New Year's Eve party a couple of years ago?

"The show did not sell out"
