...but read a some of the comments regarding the multi-format release of the movie "Bubble" next week...from Newsweek:

If you could watch "King Kong" at home on opening night, would you go see it in a movie theater anyway? If the movie were "Capote," would you make the same decision? More important, should you even have the choice? That last question is getting Hollywood riled up these days, and all because of a quiet little movie called "Bubble." Directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh, it's a $1.7 million crime drama, starring nonactors—hardly a crowd pleaser like his "Ocean's Twelve." So why all the fuss? Because when "Bubble" opens on Jan. 27, you'll be able to see it in a theater and on high-definition cable and on DVD.

While I can understand concern about losing money, the one guy quoted sounds like a grade-A piece of shit. Wow...
