Fans Are Rice For Journeyman

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Looks like fans of Journeyman are taking a page out of the Jericho book. When CBS canceled Jericho, fans (including me) sent tons of nuts to CBS headquarters. The nutty planned worked, and soon Jericho will be back for a short season two. Now fans are trying a similar approach with NBC over Journeyman.

While it’s not as cool as the whole “Nuts for Jericho / Save Jericho” campaign, the Save Journeyman campaign is asking fans to send in Rice-A-Roni to NBC and NBC Universal executives. Why send in boxes of “The San Fransisco Treat”? Because Journeyman is set in that location. Duh.

Blu-Ray Triumpuent Over HD-DVD?

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

In case you haven’t heard, on Friday it was announced that Warner Bro would be releasing content exclusively on Blu-Ray. The next day New Line Cinemas (owned by AOL Time Warner) announced that they too would be going exclusively Blu. This is a major blow to the HD-DVD community.

While it’s bad news for HD-DVD fans and supporters, this could be a good thing for consumers. With two competing high definition disk formats (HD-DVD and Blu-Ray) things were a tad bit confusing for the average consumer. You’ll still be able to pick up WB and NLC movies on both formats until May, which is when WB’s contract ends with HD-DVD.

This pretty much only leaves Paramount and NBC Universal supporting the HD-DVD format.
