I never understood Aeon Flux either, motti, so don't feel bad. And I actually have not seen any of the Animatrix shorts.

I've been wanting to. Just never got around to it. Will have to rent it one night that my wife is at work since she likely won't watch it with me. But I've gotta watch my rental copy of Narc first.

I saw the first ten minutes of it the other day and it was incredible. But I got distracted and then just stopped it instead of trying to understand what was happening while running around the apartment.

I'm still catching up on my classics. Saw Strangers on a Train last night; the DVD has both the American and British cuts on it, and the differences are very interesting.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I think I've heard of it but I have no idea what it's about other than what I can derive from the title.

If you've seen Throw Momma From the Train, you know Strangers on a Train. Two strangers meet, discuss the pain in their lives, and one of them comes up with the idea that if they swap murders, it's the perfect crime. It was also referenced in an episode of CSI from last season.
BTW, post #1000!

I'm not motti, but it would be commercial suicide to only release it on HD-DVD.

Agreed. I think it will be released because it would be commercial suicide to not do so considering how many people now own DVD players and have quickly adopted this media form as their one and only form on which to purchase movies. Like we've argued in other threads, HD-DVD will be released, but it will only find a niche following for several years. So, not releasing the ST OT on DVD would be like some big artist only releasing their new album on SACD or DVD-A because it's the best format and completely negating the hordes of fans who only have standard CD players. Sales would bottom out. Period, end of quote.

As far as SACD goes, a lot of artists are releasing hybrid discs (one layer CD audio, one SACD) so that fans can upgrade their equipment later. Since this isn't possible with the DVD format, I stand by what I said earlier about the likelihood of the OT only being released on HD DVD.

If you recall, I said that releasing the OT only on HD DVD was akin to commercial suicide, something GL is not likely to commit.
