The kids don't care so much about HD. 

Wait, what?

I take it he means his kids. Though my son couldn't care less either. He gets annoyed when I fiddle with settings on the TV. "Who cares, just watch it". He doesn't even notice if he's watching a 4:3 picture stretched to 16:9 or vice versa :P

If that was me and my kid, I'd say, "You go to your room until you can learn to be an obsessive quality snob like your father!"

  ...uh...um...nvm, :0)

     I'm wondering, If a modestly enhanced restoration (no matt lines, boxes and so forth) was released, couldn't the restorationists quickly replace all those lines and boxes for a more pure restoration in blu? That wouldn't be commercially available, but the true die-hards could get access. I'm sold on a pure restoration, but , if compelled, I could make do.

    I'm also wondering, would it be better if the hardware industry promoted HD 3D projectors instead of the "little" LED panels? I can't see anyone but fans of action features and gamers wanting to pay for "small" 3D and mess with the glasses any time soon. Projectors that hook into players and cable might be mass produced with less expense and give a more IMAX theatrical experience (at the expense of ambient light problems.) If I was a software guy at the MPAA I might at least give passing consideration to pushing the hardware guys more to projectors-

...uh...I like Star Wars. :)
