Right now Blu-Ray is winning the war.  Blockbuster isn't even carrying HD-Dvd any longer.  As far as video quality they are both excellent and it would be hard to say which is better athough (strictly an opinion here) I think the blu-rays can produce a bit more "depth" in the picture quality.  From a technical standpoint the Blu- Ray is superior as it can hold 15x the info that a HD-DVD can.   That doesn't mean that it will come out the victor.  Betamax was superior to the VHS yet VHS won.  MD was superior to the CD, CD won.

That was a good game between the Steelers and Jags but another bad call may have cost the Steelers the game.  The refs MUST step it up and there MUST be more personal liability for bad calls.  When Madden and Al both are saying they don't agree with the ref's call on a game-changing PLAYOFF game like this the NFL needs to realize it isn't just fan-bickering.

The REAL games will be next week.   16-0 is impressive but if New England doesn't finish the dance they become laughed at instead of awed.

The Hellfire Club, Peter Straub's best work since Ghost Story.

EXCELLENT movie, I have to agree with Neemo that anyone who is a fan of football and/or played the sport needs to watch this movie.  It was a huge tragedy but a great story of human resolve and strength.

You have to check out the DLR Band's album as well.  This one had a very much "old school classic VH" sound.  Standouts on the album:  Slam Dunk!/Counter-Blast/Lose the Dress (Keep the Shoes)/King of the Hill/Going Places.../Wa Wa Zat!!/Relentless/Weekend With The Baby Sitter.  Also the album A Little Ain't Enough should be checked out, the standouts: (the title song)/Lady Luck/Tell the Truth/Last Call/Drop in the Bucket.  All great stuff.  The next album dropped in quality sharply (Your Filthy Little Mouth) producing only two decent songs: Big Train/Everybody's Got the Monkey.  After this came the album "Diamond Dave"...don't bother.
