Saw 'The Time Machine' today. Very cool. Needed to be about half an hour longer -- by the time you got to the good stuff, it all seemed very rushed, because so much time had been spent establishing the reality in which they were going to be operating -- but still, very cool. Had the giant refillable bucket of popcorn: also cool. Did, however,

Step away from the moon.... say that today too; very cool. Can't wait to see what they do with the DVD version of it.

I'm still unsure about the net value of the media, for one annoying reason.
The good side: you get all of the nifty features, controlled playback, less fear of magnetic degredation, etc.
The annoyance: Cut scenes. You wonder whether the director would have made a better film if he didn't know that the "full movie" would be available on DVD. Are they deliberately cutting scenes so that the DVD can have "previously unreleased" footage? In several films I've seen recently I spotted holes left by deleted scenes. It leaves me wondering if the film would have made more sense in it's true form.
I've paid my money to see this movie in the theatre. I'd like to see all of it. It's like ordering dinner and only getting half of the baked potato.

Aside from that one personal gripe, a very nice media indeed. Now if they would only get the burner price down to a reasonable level...
