The final curtain 2007

But hey if you DO dig 3D, Oakley is making their own cool 150 3D glasses, themed to Disneys new Tron Legacy. Heres what they look like. One caveat theyre passive/polarized lenses, currently for select theatrical use only, not home 3D use. However according to Oakleys press release, theyre working with manufacturers of passive systems for possible future home 3D compatibility. Whats the message in all this 3D news? 3D is probably here to stay, but its going to be a LOOOOOONG, slow road to widespread adoption. Read more via the linked stories at Home Media. Finally this morning, weve been getting a number of reports from Sony Blu-ray player owners who say theyre having problems playing Foxs Alien Anthology discs. Specifically, they can play the first disc fine, but the Disc Unbound or Mother Mode option seems to be choking their players when they try to switch to another disc from the set. If youre having problems with this or ANY Blu-ray title, be sure to contact your players customer support service ASAP. The more people who contact them quickly when having a problem, the faster these issues can be resolved via new firmware updates. Youll find Sonys here, Oppos here, Panasonics here, Samsungs here etc a quick web search can uncover all the rest. All right, back later. Stay Im sure there will be Battlestar fans who are disappointed at the breaking news that Syfy has decided not to renew its BSG – prequel series Caprica for a second season. See reports here, here and here. But I have to be honest, for my part as an admittedly HUGE Battlestar fan, and say that mostly my own disappointment is that I just didnt like the the final curtain 2007 better. Some fans have said that Caprica should have been a war story, like Galactica was, but thats not my problem with it. Caprica was certainly an audacious effort on the part of its writers and producers to present a culturally and morally complex, intriguing world a backstory the final curtain 2007 of Galactica. But as I said in my recent review of Universals Caprica: Season 0 on DVD, my own issue with the show and its a BIG one is that I just didnt like any of its characters. Now, its not necessarily required for a viewer to like all of shows characters, but you DO need some kind of emotional investment by an audience for the drama to really matter. And its been terribly hard to become invested in these people, because few seem to have any redeeming qualities. Youve got industrialists screwing each other over, lawyers working for mob bosses, thug enforcers, teens-turned-terrorist, a religious zealot with delusions of grandeur, an emotionally frail mother in mourning and a couple of dead girls playing ninja in the Caprican equivalent of the Matrix these arent exactly the kind of people who inspire likability. Apparently, the remaining episodes of the show will now be aired early in 20 Universal had just today announced the DVD release of Caprica: Season 5 on 12/21 one wonders now if that will be delayed until after the episodes air, and if the studio will even bother with a Blu-ray release. Well try to find out. Thankfully, Syfy has already greenlit work on another new prequel, Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome, which will follow the adventures of a young William Adama as a Viper pilot during the first Cylon War. Inspired, no doubt, by the flashback scenes in Razor. Yes, thats a war so Battlestar fans might warm up to it a little better. Personally though, I just REALLY hope that Caprica s producers learn the key lesson in all this. Next time, lets have at least a couple likable characters. Please?
