While we're on the DVD subject, remember VHS vs. Beta? DVD Audio vs. SACD? It's happening again... the new blu-ray disc technology hold something like 8 gigs (!) on a single disc. Up til now the mom and pop DVD hasnt had enough oomph/memory to record in HD, but that seems to be quickly changing. Best wishes to SONY in fighting Bill Gates. I don't get it. After the miserable failure of so many formats I think we need a little Rodney King: cant We all agree and get along? _______________________________

Hey at least it's still indie, albeit a hundred's of millions of $ indie.

Thats the really punk rock thing about it all is that he calls all the shots. He took a risk, did it on his terms and he got the reward (as anyone with a pulse would notice he also gets all that fun criticism of the new prequels as well - but Im sure its easy to ignore when youre either immersed in projects / being a dad / getting all that $$$ in the bank :) _______________________________

Funny, whenever I hear Dagobah, I think of the lower half of the out of bounds area of Stowe Mountain After you launch the trail map, notice the high peak in the upper right hand corner, Mount Mansfield. About half way down, where the trees turn green again, and the clouds are pictured, is Dagobah (as named by the Burton guys). Awesome glades... goodtimes.

Im seriously starting to think that elmo is satan (tm). Jackie and I received one of those electronic books that has the pictures you touch for corresponding sounds. "Elmo goes potty" or something to that extent... Truly a creepy, irksome voice. La La La La, La La La La, Elmo's world indeed. STF Up, you red johnny-come-lately muppet. (do any of our lovely RSN fact checkers know if Henson was even alive when Elmo came down the pike? Lets hope the USPS didnt make a stamp out of this lesser muppet) _______________________________

According to Wikipedia Elmo was created in Henson's time, most likely by Henson himself. However Elmo's rise is directly due to Henson's death, as the Henson voiced muppets were retired, leaving the stage open for the (then minor) character of Elmo to take over. Who knew that Snuffleupagus had a first name, nevertheless that it was Aloysius? (is that long for mud?)

Lucas was in Boston this week to promote the opening of the SW Museum of Science exhibit. The Glob's Ty Burr writes something besides a film review... interesting. _______________________________
