I feel funny, like when I used to climb the rope in gym class!

Just to prove its possible for an action movie to give you goosebumps and make you feel funny down there, I give you the new Iron Man movie trailer.

Was that freaking awesome or what?!?!?! I gotta find a better word because anticipation doesn't even come close! This was my the favorite comic book as a child, Tony Stark/Iron Man was the hero I wanted to become and this is the movie that I've been waiting for. To hell with Spidey and the rest, this will be the best comic book movie ever. May 2nd, I'll be taking the day off of work in order to see the first showing of this movie and I'll stay until they throw me out!

The War is over!

No, not the war in the Middle East silly goose. That will continue to go on for years as we fight for Democratic Supremacy and try to wipe out terrorism but that's a discussion for a politically themed blog. I mean the war for the next generation Hi-Definition content.

And the winner is...(drum roll please)...Blu-Ray.
What's brought me to this conclusion? Well this week at the Geekgasm Convention of the year (CES, Computer Electronics Show...duh!) Warner Brothers it will pull its support of HD DVD in favor of going to Blu-Ray exclusively. That was followed by both New Line Cinemas and HBO making similar announcements. Throw in that Disney has already announced that their titles will only be Blu-Ray and that the Adult industry is adopting Blu-Ray (probably the first time Disney and porn have been in the same sentence) and you have nails in the coffin of the HD DVD format.

Honestly I can see no major difference in the picture quality or sound in either of the new formats on my home theater set up. I'm also not stoked about the price of Blu-Ray DVDs either. Especially when you consider that I can now buy regular DVDs new for under $6 and let me video game consoles upconvert the image to my HD TV. But hey, I'm glad that I at least have a reason to use my PS3 now!
