Blu-ray discs meet call numbers

I'm focusing on Blu-Ray movies tonight because I'm getting a Blu player for us for Christmas.  They're down to $75 for a decent model, and we're not doing the wireless stuff.  So I've been looking at my favorite local library's collection via the online catalog.  First Blu I'm buying?  "Die Hard."  It's a Christmas movie, remember?

Here is how the Upper Arlington Public Library depicts one "A" movie's call number.

"Blu Ass?"  That's pretty good, and I bet the cataloger chuckled.  I won't be renting this one; I've got a high-def version of it in HD-DVD.  Yes' I'm one of the 400 people who bought HD-DVD, only I bought the player and some discs after the format died.  I can tell you it's the superior "spin-disc" format because the discs load fast and are less prone to skipping than Blu.

Also, one film that looks fantastic on HD-DVD is Nancy Meyers' "The Holiday."  Blu-Ray reviews have been harsh, and I've heard that the HD-DVD is the better picture.  Just watched this cute rom-com again with the Mrs; we're making it a holiday tradition.  This is the 3rd year we've watched in HD.  I know that HD only holds 30 GB to Blu's 50, but on our smaller high-def TV's it's a noticeable upgrade from DVD.

As far as the rom-com genre goes, I'm not a huge fan, but "The Holiday," "Failure To Launch," and "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" are our favorites.  I can do without seeing Terry Bradshaw's bare bottom, but hey that flick was only $3 in HD-DVD.  Now go watch "The Holiday" with someone you love.  You'll be glad you did.
