Unfortunately, it was National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Fun enough, but nobody needs to see Nicolas Cage's complexion in hi-def.

1. Yikes, I think I know how you felt
I watched my first sports in HD. I watched the Lakers get crushed by the Celts. No one needs to see either.

3. Many are actually worried that Hi-def
will really hurt the porn industry. It'll be like how sound destroyed the careers of many great silent actors.

Few people - even porn stars - can withstand hi-def.

2. or one of his bad hair pieces.
they become a distraction, maybe they should give his rugs some dialog you know, we all know it's there, it's time for the director to acknowledge it.

4. And what were Olmecs or Toltecs or whoever
building large cities of gold in South Dakota? And how did Jon Voigt's glasses stay dry throughout the final action sequence?

5. A couple I know just got an HD TV
and I was there when they first put in an HD movie in it... I'd never seen 2001 despite having read all the books in the series. We figured with the visuals in that one, it'd be a good choice for their first HD movie.

I'm pretty sure I could have counted the astronauts' leg hairs when they were wearing those short 70s short.
