HD or Blu-ray??

[T-Fizzle]

So I have Land of the Dead on HD-DVD and it looks great! I also just heard that porn is going with HD and NOT Blu-ray. What's your take? p.s. Are there any other zombie movies on either format??

[Pothatuu]

Probably the Dawn Remake. I wouldn't spend a penny on that, though. Even if it was in HD. What the hell is blu-ray? Oooh. HD porn. Now you can see what you're missing even more clearly.

HD is still a novelty to me, so the HD channels I have are HD enough for me right now. I am intrigued a bit by the new formats, but they are both too sketchy to buy into at this time, in my honest opinion. There are no titles out that I am itching to buy, so that helps. Exclusive content such as HD only featurettes could pave the way.

i think that blu -ray signed their death warrant when they refused to convert porn that was what made vhs win over betamax in the video tape battles also like the previous post said people dont know what blu-ray is HD-dvd is the natural thing to want if you are buying a HD television they are both too similar now to judge them but it is funny how the porno industry will decide which format wins

You can't be too sure I'd just wait it out until who wins the battle; then I'll buy a HD player & a HD TV!!!

Now you can see what you're missing even more clearly. sony are royally boned. and hd dvd by the way, its just an upgrade of a simple to use and relatively glitch free cheap format, back in the day harder to find VHS tapes were upwards fo 80 quid in "the dark ages of the video nastys".

Neither are worth the money at this point, in my opinion. ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, HBO HD and Discovery HD Theater are all I need at this point. Land of the Dead has been on HBO HD these past few weeks, in fact. I just recorded The Empire Strikes Back in HD and it looks phenomenal, as well. HD DVR is a better value I think.

well we can fit movies on a dvd now, so this "better quality for more money" sucks, i dont know about you but i like my films, especially horror films to look grainy and scratched, its part of the charm of cinema, making it all clean and crisp makes films just look like feature tv specials.

But imagine the carnage of a great zombie flick in HD....Come on! That would be AWESOME! Blood and flesh where you can see every speck of gore! It also means that horror movie makers have to have better physical effects, since we will be seeing them as if they were in our living rooms.

[Danny]

i dont care for gore, that usually seems to be a crutch for poor script writing, seriously, watch some movie like night of the living dead, which is recognised as a "real movie" not as a gore fest, then some low budget zombie piece of crap like vampires vs zombies, which has like 20 rough minutes of gore. the more gore the cheaper the movie, unless its not takeing itself seriously, like brain dead or the evil dead, then its good.

[T-Fizzle]

Dead Alive is an awesome movie. I agree, the gore can't be taken seriously, but Dead Alive and Evil Dead and the Like are great gore romps

[Danny]

aye but you cant be taken seriously with it, unless its got one or two small points of gore, that way they stand out more in a serious narrative, dj's film deadlands has three gore scenes i can remember but they were spaced so far apart and done with such speed and then back to the plot that it didnt seem like he was one of those amatuers who go "look ,gore!, see its horror", after all the reason romeros movies and comics like the walking dead rock is becuase in all post apocalyptic drama/horror its about the people, not the horror itself that sells the story, you have lame characters with no backstory and - wait.....thats dawn 04' isnt it?
