Again, it's the whole different taste thing. I'd rather not pay for
either but if I was forced I'd watch the Angels over 28 days any
day. I don't care about "great film making, just what entertains me.

I haven't seen the new CA, but I eventually will... winter IS coming... but
after watching "@8 Days Later" again tonight I have to disagree that it's not
worth another view or two... again, the taste thing, but hey...

It's one of the best "End Of It All" films I've ever seen, it makes a lot of
reality-sense as apposed to say "Dawn of the Dead" where everyone gets fat and
happy.

Well, and then dies... but there's some happy bits.

I don't think anyone, including the director, can confuse 28 Days Later
with "great filmmaking". Charlie's Angels, however, wasn't even
filmmaking; it was a MTV clip.

Speaking of which, does the dvd have the great bit from the MTV movie
awards regarding the "Ass Trainer" for the film?

Huh? I have found the exact opposite at my two local Blockbusters. They do
NOT carry widescreen DVD's in many new releases. I have talked to both
managers about it and they state they have no control on what format the
DVD's come in. The way I understand it is one of the major studios only
sends BB full screen DVD's. I have since stopped going there and now rent
from a local Video Update franchise - the manager there is very good about
erroring on the side of wide screen. I have noticed that if 20 copies are
on the shelf for a new release, 10 full - 10 wide - the wides are always
gone first. I guess Blockbuster is missing out.

<< I guess Blockbuster is missing out. >>

They're just clueless, from their rental prices to their stock to the
gawd-awful idea of renting games for as long as the local neighborhood kids
wanna keep them... there are NEVER any games (I mean NOTHING) on the shelves
anymore.

**** on the blue & gold. I go to Hollywood Video on the rare occasion I want to
rent something because usually things are in stock, as apposed to the raincheck
crap BB sets up... try taking a raincheck for a game that's garunteed in
stock... you'll wait weeks and months.

Either you're imagining things or you have shitty privately run
Blockbuster's in your area(these are the ones that close at 10 every
night...). I can assure you Blockbuster's policy is widescreen only and
all 5 stores here in Fort Collins, CO follow that policy to a tee. Read
