Bitte schön. That video was so badly out of sync it made my brain hurt. I guess I wasn't alone, 'cause someone felt the need to title theirs "The synced version"!

Until reading the Wiki entry I have to admit I didn't realize how badly Future Shop ripped off this song. Wow.

"Change it just enough to not count as the same thing". Damn.

For you non-Canadians, FS is like, and now also owned by, Best Buy. Or any big electronics super-store chain.

The make it sound like it's evil. It's not, its a sophisticated well run monopoly, the fact is that De Beers offers the best buy out price for anyone who finds diamonds. So? The worst monopoly is the oil market.

Wait, wait, wait. Easy now. This isn't the VHS vs. Beta war. This is a different beast altogether. HDDVD is solid, and Blu-Ray has some catching up to do, but it's hype that's making Blu-Ray seem like the winner in this march of tech. Currently, there are only two Blu-Ray players that are worth your money. That's the PS3 and their really high end machine (not sure what the nomenclature is for this machine or machines). HDDVD also has its worthless 720 and 1080i players available for the common market just as Sony does, but their 1080p higher end machines are very affordable. And every HDDVD player has a great price point compared to Blu Ray.

When Sony released its Blu-Ray technology, they put way too much money into developing that blue ray laser and high capacity disc so they didn't spend money on the codec. When released to market, HDDVD had a high-def codec and Sony was using MPEG-2. Yes, MPEG-2. The same shit you have on your standard def DVDs. Ouch! That technology is what? 20 years old? Because of bad press, they had to switch to a better codec, so imagine the spendthrift involved with that! Now, imagine how much less money they had on making their system actually good. So, what's the problem now? Well, aside from the shitty systems available, they also have update problems. You see, all of Toshiba's systems are supposed to have Ethernet capabilities, so updating the firmware is a piece of cake. Sony systems? Nope. You better be prepared to shill out some major doe for that added feature. So, there is a high chance that SOME of the Blu Ray DVDs will NOT play on some Blu Ray DVD players because they're incapable of updating their firmware. Ain't that a bitch? I hope Sony figures this out, but chances are they won't, and even if they do, that's more of a crippling blow to their chances to "corner the market" than you think.

But, if you have a PS3, you're sitting pretty (from my insider news). It's a better purchase than a straight Blu-Ray DVD Player purchase. That's just silly, no?

That aside, HDDVD isn't just Toshiba. It's Microsoft, too. Microsoft created the programming infrastructure called iHD, which I've programmed in, so if you ever step out to Best Buy and purchase yourself a copy of Under Siege, Blazing Saddles or Lethal Weapon in HDDVD format, then you'll be buying my handy work. I've worked on other WB titles, but those are the titles I programmed myself. What are you waiting for, fellow Sifters. Buy my shit! I make NO money off of them!

A really good way to subvert the beast, is to use their subtle tactics.....have some stickers made, with some succinct anti-media slogans, anti-fucking television slogans, and whenever you get a chance, stick em in places everywhere folks who feed on it will see.....fast-food restaurant drive-thru windows and doors, WALMARTS.....Retail outlets....how about all the new televisions at a Best Buy or Circuit Citty....KILL YERS AND OTHERS TELEVISION

hah, Jack Thompson actually wins a debate. And he makes his son do stings at best buy and circuit city. Ben Stiller sure has hit the bottom of the barrel on the other side of the screen.

HaHA! Yeah where do you buy a Mac in the real world anyhow? We've lived in the boonies for so long we primarily shop online or drive 45 min to the nearest Best Buy.

For the ubergeeks that actually understood the benefits of a Mac over PC for their purposes (which I don't), the rest own them because they somehow thought it made them more elite?

Picturing a couple in their loft apt on a Sunday... NY Times crossword puzzles, NPR on the radio, 1000 dollar espresso machine that makes a 3 ounce cup, lying on a woolen alpaca rug with a fruit colored Apple notebook...

OR guys like the characters in Free Enterprise.. comic book collection, action figure curios, movies ONLY on laser disc, owns a Mac...and of course couldn't tell you why it's better than a PC, it just IS

nah, the kid's parents would rather have little Bobby playing a lame wannabe game than actually learning something useful, LIKE PLAYING A REAL INSTRUMENT

upvote for the losers with nothing better to do than hang out at best buy

ROFL! Best Buy refused to take the camcorder back! http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/14/will-it-return-best-buy-refuses-to-exchange-blended-camcorder/

That's what you should really expect from a theater attached to a mall that caters to fidgety teenagers... If you can't handle it and can somehow afford a 50 feet wide screen of your own, then by all means, don't go to a cinema.

Personally, I'd just wait for the DVD to come out and shell out some cash to get a decent theatrical experience from Best Buy in the comfort of my own home instead of sitting in a theater meant for the general public...

Look, Up in the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman is a documentary film from executive producers Bryan Singer and Kevin Burns which details the history of the Superman franchise, from comic book, to television, to the big screen. The story of Superman is told through archival footage, as well as interviews with many of the actors, directors, and producers involved with the Superman media over the years. The closing credits feature outtakes from the Christopher Reeve Superman films, including an outtake of Marlon Brando improvising during the recitation of a poem in a scene deleted from the original version of Superman II.

The documentary was released on DVD on June 20, 2006, shortly before the theatrical release of Superman Returns. A two DVD Best Buy exclusive Limited Edition version was released the same day (extra material on the second disc included Bryan Singer's video journals and 5 official Superman movie poster mini-prints). A shortened version of the documentary was played on A&E on June 12, 2006. Finally, it (along with Singer's video journals) was included as part of the 14-disc box set release, The Ultimate Superman Collection, in November, 2006.

Look, Up in the Sky! features interviews with the following personalities.

Those directly associated with Superman: * Dean Cain (Clark Kent/Superman, Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) * Gerard Christopher (Clark Kent/Superboy, Superboy) * Jackie Cooper (Perry White, Superman: The Movie) * Richard Donner (Director, Superman: The Movie) * Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (executive producers and creators of Smallville) * Margot Kidder (Lois Lane, Superman: The Movie) * Bill Mumy (Tommy Puck, Superboy) * Annette O'Toole (Lana Lang, Superman III; Martha Kent, Smallville) * Brandon Routh (Clark Kent/Superman, Superman Returns) * Ilya Salkind (Executive Producer, Superman: The Movie) * Bryan Singer (Director, Superman Returns) * Lesley Ann Warren (Lois Lane, It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman[1])

Those not directly associated with Superman: * Mark Hamill (played The Joker in animated incarnations and comic book fan) * Stan Lee (Marvel Comics heroes' co-creator) * Gene Simmons (musician and comic book fan) * Adam West (Bruce Wayne/Batman, Batman TV series)

Kevin Spacey (who also played Lex Luthor in Superman Returns) narrates the documentary. Mumy and Hamill are also credited as consultants on the documentary.
