Predictions
Link of the Day 3d web sites?
I have just two more finals left this week. The first two went very well, and I feel like I’m going to hit some good grades this semester. I noticed that Austen made some predictions on his blog. So, I’ll make some of my own for the coming year.
HD DVD/Bluray:
HD DVD and Bluray will both inherently fail. They are the beta tape format of today. DVD has just solidified as a format and replaced VHS. People don’t want to buy a new TV and a new player so they can view crisp 1080 HD. I believe that the market would convert if the HD format was something insane, such as 4000 pixel width. That would be detailed enough for me to justify purchasing into the format.
Nintendo Wii:
The nintendo Wii will most likely win the new console battle. The company already has a number of game titles ready for the console, and playstation 3 is another xbox 360 expensive mess when it comes to pricing. I really don’t care what happens in the console arena at the moment, because it doesn’t impact a student’s life.
Wolfgang Peterson:
Finally, I predict that the director Wolfgang Peterson will continue to make movies that lack soul and emotion. His latest film is called Poseiden, a remake that is not even worth mentioning. There is no character development, and a disaster movie needs exposition for the audience to care about what is happening. The one thing I dread the most is the plan for Wolfgang Peterson to direct Ender’s Game, one of my most favorite science fiction novels. Wolfgang did a good job with Das Boot in his early years, but he is making worthless stuff such as Troy now. If only I could get Orson Scott Card’s attention. In other words, I wish I could direct the film. Getting kids to act old would be a ton of fun and a lot of hard work. I hope Wolfgang retires before he ruins science fiction films.
