Greetings all. As I'm heading out to go discuss No Country for Old Men, I figured that I'd give you something to watch (and something to read) to keep you busy in the interim.
Even thought it's about a week or so old, I really found this article on Blu Rays interesting. Oh sure, it leans heavy on the "mastering" side of things, which is tech heavy for most people, but what I think you'll find worthwhile is that in one place you can finally get an idea of what distinguishes Blu Ray from DVD, how the discs are put together, and what studios are doing to transition audiences from one to the other. It also addresses some long standing questions I had about why some discs look so... well, waxy. Anyway, I'll let you check it out for yourself. It's well worth the read.
On to the videos...

In honor of A Nightmare on Elm Street hitting Blu Ray today, the Cap'n thought it would only be fair to honor Freddy Krueger by including a video... by The Fat Boys.
okay, that was mean. Here are the highlights of MTV's "Freddy Krueger Hour," promoting A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4: The Dream Master.
Our second video, in honor of its 100th anniversary, is the long-thought lost Thomas Edison version of Frankenstein. Thankfully, it isn't lost, and with the purchase of this book, you can actually have your own copy of a restored version.
