"Are you hugging the TV?"

Now I know what all this high definition fuss is about. I had no idea sounds like that* could come out of my TV.
*The Feral Kid's boomerang lopping off Toady's fingers, for starters.

And some people pay EXTRA for those artistic flourishes. Just ask Pete about his birthday bash at the Pink Pussycat Cabaret….
“ask Pete about his birthday bash at the Pink Pussycat Cabaret…”
Myself, I’m still not over the prehensile vaginae.
Nor will I ever be.
Hey Pete, does the blu-ray features suck as much balls as that awful DVD?

You’re asking, of course, if the features on the Blu-Ray are as bad as the features on the original DVD release, yes? Because to talk shit about the movie itself you’d have to be clinically insane, a Communist, or both.
It’s still pretty bare bones, aside from the commentary by Miller and Dean Semler (which I haven’t listened to yet).

I hate to traumatize you further, but you’re misremembering which parts were prehensile….
I still remember staggering out of my bedroom in the tiny apartment I was sharing with my brother in Zephyrhills, Florida, jaw agape, eyes half melted and running down my cheeks, boiled vitreous humor mixing with the copious drool streaming out either side of my mouth. My bro’ looked up from where he was kicking the crap out of some cartoon on his X-Box and said “Dude, what hit you?” I merely gibbered something incoherent, and flapped the DVD case for THE ROAD WARRIOR at him.
I saw it twice in the theater, and three more times when Syracuse University Cinemas showed it on campus (board members got in free if they took tickets at the doors) and had watched it probably ten more times over the ensuing 20 years on videotape, but watching it on DVD, in letterbox format, simply blew the doors of my brain off.
So now you’re telling me Blu Ray cranks it up another level?
Jesus.
Well, we’re not getting Blu Ray until I get an XBox 360, and we can’t afford a 360 any time soon, so I guess for a while at least I’m safe.
I’ve heard HD porn is *not* as good as you think it will be; that its a little too honest with things like c-section scars and the such. I suggest that you and the Mrs. do some homework in that regard and report back. I’d like to hear some objective research on this subject. You know, for science. And stuff.
