Samsung's BD-UP5000 HD DVD / Blu-ray combo player gets previewed {Engadget}
Nov 29th 2007 10:44AM So what if there's a format war? What else are you going to spend your $800 on? Buy the thing and enjoy the fun of 1080p movies now, rather than spend your time tapping your fingers on the edge of your desk waiting for prices to go down.
We're not talking about buying a first-generation DLP projector for $20,000 or even a CDP-101 for $900. This is a major advance in home entertainment and you might as well enjoy it now because if you wait two years for combo players to cost $100, you'll be right back here lamenting the high cost of 1440p LCDs.

Michael Bay responds to Paramount's abandonment of Blu-ray: "No Transformers 2 for me!" {Engadget HD}
Aug 21st 2007 11:22AM When I first saw the tag line for this story I thought, "Oh, my! How devastating for Paramount." Then they listed Michael Bay's movies... Transformers (yay), Bad Boys (hmm), and Pearl Harbor (gag). Then I dug deeper and found that he also directed Armageddon. Now I'm just left wondering why Paramount has continued to pay this guy to make movies.
Transformers directed itself, my friends. The real heroes of that film were the screenwriter, who managed to create a story (simplistic and silly, though it may be) that crossed generational gaps and fit into a standard movie time-length, and the CGI team who essentially made the entire film.
Virtually any director could have done justice to Transformers because as long as you can pull of insanely complex computer generated robots, you've got the only thing anyone came to see. Frankly I would have appreciated a different director who doesn't employ slow and fast motion like flipping a light switch on and off and can create dramatic scenes without two dozen 360 degree pan shots.
Michael Bay is a clown. Good riddance.
