    That's absolutely not correct. But the fact is when someone or a group of people who have never said a positive thing about the Vudu comes in an posts a gripe thread, it gets ignored really fast. This is particularly true if they have a habit of coming in every 1 to 2 months and never doing anything constructive in the forums. There's a big difference between a legitimate grip and being a troll.

    So some people deserve to be mocked.

      Re: News from CES

      I can't quite tell if I'm being attacked or not? I didn't think I was but now I'm starting to wonder.

      For the record - my Star Trek "jab" was simply that - A very light hearted jab at Star Trek. It had nothing to do with the Vudu nor was it intended to imply how I felt aout the upcoming HD titles.

      Personally - I could care less if they release Debi Does Dallas or Winnie the Pooh as one of their 70 new HD titles. I do not expect to like every single one of the 70 new HD titles (although Debi Does Dallas in Hi Def might indeed be intriguing ). What I DO care about is that they are in fact releasing 70 new HD titles. This is HUGE progress.

        No, it wasn't you. You're a regular contributor here and I don't think you've ever exhibited anything close to trollish behavior!

          I don't think we will find somebody that "loves" every title. That's not what the surge in HD is going to be about. I'm pretty sure everybody will "hate" at least 1 or 2 titles. Hopefully every new HD movie in the collection will find some Vudu Viewers that love it (the producers/directors seemed to think making it was a good idea, of course the same can be said for Xanadu). Some couples LL be harshly divided in the home over whether or not to watch a movie that they fondly remember (or was that barely endured?) Some of the over achievers that hang out here will probably claim in Golum style to "hatesess the HDssss", well because they can. Anybody want to take bet's on some posterino starting a gripe thread saying "I can't believe Vudu had the nerve to release ________, therefore nobody should ever buy a Vudu again and the marketing people misled me!"

          If you had to go into a typical multi screen Theater right now and watch the next 70 movies that they release, how many do you think you'd love, how many do you think you'd hate? Even better, send somebody with a blindfold into the Blockbuster and tell them to randomly select 70 films for you to watch. I bet we could find somebody who would hate most of them. Consider this list of 16 "new" shows being provided by one of my local theaters. I have not, and most likely will not see any of them in the Cinema (I hatesess the Chinemaaaa). If a gun was held to my head and I was asked if I'd LOVE/HATE to go through the doors and pay the $50+ it would cost to take the family in, I'd choose 3 of the 16:

          HATE Alien vs. Predator
          HATE Alvin and the Chipmunks
          HATE Charlie Wilson's War
          HATE Enchanted
          LOVE I Am Legend
          HATE Juno
          LOVE National Treasure: Book of Secrets
          HATE One Missed Call
          HATE P.S. I Love You
          HATE Sweeney Todd
          LOVE Golden Compass
          HATE The Great Debaters
          HATE The Water Horse
          HATE Walk Hard

          Now, my wife would maybe agree/tolerate 1 of the 3 I chose, and you can bet my 18 year old daughter and 21 year old son would make the odds of finding a winner for the whole group extremely low. However, when you put them all on my Vudu eventually, I'll probably take a chance on over half of them, and it wouldn't surprise me if there's a sleeper in that list that the whole family ends up enjoying. And here's the part that will drive some of you nutz, I really don't care if I get to watch it the same day the DVD is on the streets, or a year later - not a priority in my life or values. I can't imagine having my day/week revolve around waiting for the next bone Hollywood throws. This is not to say that I don't believe that "same day release" is critical to some folks, I just have a totally different set of values and priorities than them. I know I'm not the only Vudu user who feels this way about their recreational entertainment options.

          The news from CES isn't about delivering a ton of titles that you would have chosen - it's about the next step in Vudu's evolution - expanding the library of movies that you have to choose from, including several instant view HD selections. I do hope we very soon see many more "same day releases" like we did with Bourne Ultimatum, and it would not be because I'm jumping up and down with excitement to see them, it'll just be nice to stop having to read the same old gripes over and over and over again.
          Wow - quite a lengthy response. I would agree 100% here.

          I think you may have taken mebby's and my offhand comments about Star Trek not being our thing a little too seriously.

          Anyone who wants the box to succeed wants as much content as possible on there - only 20% of any given titles may interest me, but 20% of 10,000 is a lot better than 20% of 5,000...and so forth :-)

          No doubt Vudu's on the right path...and I expect us to see lots of progress in 2008...this baby's not even 1 year old (at least publicly)

I'll tell you right now that some scenes in the upcoming HD titles were filmed with less than outstanding quality by todays visual standards, but some folks gotta see the HD in the name or they feel like they are not being respected. I'd much rather watch a good movie in SD than a crappy movie in HD - and I'm watching on a 110" screen.
            Very true - HD matters to me for sports, and select movies...but for the average romantic comedy that my wife and I watch - will likely go with the $3.99 SD version rather than $5.99 for HD. It's too bad Hollywood charges differently for each, but that's the world we are in today.

              mebby - I thought the same thing, but shrugged it off as well

              I probably haven't been around long enough to see the real negative "trolls" but in my short time on these forums it seems that most of the criticism is by folks who genuinely want the Vudu to get better. The mods here are very enthusiastic about the Vudu (a good thing) but occasionally the exuberance can appear to the unfamiliar eye as defensiveness, sarcasm, or condescension...none of which are welcoming to the new or potential customer.

              This is just an observation of mine based on a few weeks of lurking / posting...I recognize the hard work you guys put in to keep the board clean, fair, and balanced. But I want this puppy to succeed just like the rest of you - and I'm sure the Vudu team and the VC backers that read this board enjoy the unfiltered customer feedback.

              There's a difference between misinformation and opinion, and all I'd ask is for a bit more tolerance for those who share feedback (positive or negative) so long as they are not disrupting anything.

              Hope I didn't offend anyone, the above was not aimed at anyone specifically.

              ...and we're officially way off topic

                  No. Ed and I are sensitive guys but not that sensitive!

                  Your comments were actually quite funny. I could think of a comeback equally is funny but it gave me a good chuckle. Hey to each their own.
