„Didn't really like the first Matrix movie so I avoided Reloaded when it came out in the cinema and then when it went to DVD. While channel surfing last night I noticed that it was on HBO so thought I might see how it compared with the first movie. Didn't like it.“http://vek.perlmonk.org/archives/ cat_movies.html#000707 - Cached

„I keep wondering how long the DVD purchasing craze will go on - VHS tapes went through a similar phase...not sure if DVDs will or will not repeat that path. But Blockbuster is definitely a piece of crap with an old model - late fees.“http://tech.blogs.com/blog/2004/02/ crap_alert_bloc.html - Cached

„(Star Wars, The Godfather Trilogy, etc.--but thereIS a barrage of really low quality crappy movies on DVD for some reason...) The thing about transferring films to DVD isthat it is a long process, and if it isn't done properly the DVD will come out looking yucky. The other problem is that there are only (last I heard) 2 (TWO) pressing plants in the US where DVDs come from. By now there may be more, I don't know.So, you have the process of actually doing the transfer, where they digitize every single frame of a film, make sure it looks good, and not too dark or light, then there is a long wait at the pressing plant for the thing to get pressed.“http://www.thedent.com/completedvd.html - Cached
