I was at my brother's place the other night, scouring through their dvd collection for something I could steal and watch. I saw they had a separate pile of blu ray discs, and I asked him this question: "So what's blu ray?" And my brother and his wife both stopped what they were doing, furrowed their brows, and said to me, "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." But I was serious. I don't really know what it is. I keep hearing about blu ray this and blu ray that, but what's the big fucking deal about it? Why are people all excited about it? I still don't know!
Then my brother asked me when I was going to get an HD tv, and I replied, "Is that the same as a flat screen or plasma tv?" To which he replied, "Just get out of here. Go. Leave. I can't have you in this house if you're that stupid. You're an embarassment!" So I guess the answer to my question is no?
I honestly don't see the big deal. Why do we need blu ray, whatever it is? Is there something wrong with regular dvds that I'm not seeing? I'm not shelling out for some special blu ray player. I think it's all a scam. And I truly truly truly don't give a shit about HD. My brother, and my brothers-in-law have all tried to show me the difference between regular and HD tv. They switch between the channels to show me the diference in clarity.
Is it more clear in HD? *shrug* I guess so... but you know what? I STILL don't care! It doesn't enhance my enjoyment of a movie any more than on a regular screen. What do I need to see someone's face so close up that I can see their pores? That's distracting! Or else, I think that maybe HD has a quality to the eyes that only MALE eyes can see, because I don't know that many women that give a crap. I know I don't.
