You're wrong to say that I think "that BluRay should be equaling DVD at this point".
Sure I have grave doubts about Blu-ray's future, not especially because of the numbers selling although if you take Iron Man out of this picture it's really dire, there's precious little sign of any real broad-based appeal at work here at all.
I happen to think their strategy is all wrong for establishing it as 'the' sustainable means of delivering HD movies with any kind of serious future. Their approach was all right for defeating HD DVD but that is hardly anything like the same thing.
As for homo-eroticism? Well, again I think this is fair comment and only saying it how it is. It's precisely what you get when you gear a movie format largely to game console owners (who, despite the a/v enthusiast element are largely that single adolescent male demographic).
I'd dearly love to see Shawshank repeat this kind of performance (and better) but you & I know that that's highly unlikely. Transformers 2 probably will, which takes us right back to the whole thing about gamers.
Now you might not agree (as is your - or anyone's - right) but it's surely not exactly unreasonable never-mind heresy to actually come right out and say it.

I'm not truthteller or nfinity nor anyone else - do you seriously imagine these views are rare or something? ;)
