Oppo next to create a new Blu-ray player {Engadget HD}
Feb 22nd 2008 9:45AM re: SACD/DVD-A,
Can't wait. the war and DVD-A/SACD support are what have been keeping me away from an HD player. I've got an Oppo 981HD for DVD/DVD-A/SACD and now that they've "settled" on Blu-Ray I just have to wait for one with SACD (via DSD) and DVD-A support. Hopefully the Oppo player is as good as all their previous offerings and cheap.

Is The Colbert Report hitting a creative pothole? {TV Squad}
Mar 30th 2007 10:30AM I actually think the problem is that at the beginning the show had too little going for it. It used the same "skits" every episode instead of mixing them up. For a show like O'Reilly this works, because he bases his show on beating the living crap out of his ideas into the face of his viewers, but for a show like Colbert's (and the Daily Show for that matter, which is why the cycling of reporters works so well), this gets old fast. I like the idea of bringing in new elements and relegating the older ones to once-a-week skits. He needs to bring in more fresh/different ideas into the show.
As to people coming back later and loving it...
Wait a few months, the things you love now will seem to get old after a few months. I've been watching it from the beginning, and while I still love many aspects of the show, the things you find cute now you only do because they're new to you again, when you see them happening day in day out week after week you'll start to think the show needs to mix it up.
I also think he needs to work on his interviewing skills. The purpose of an interview is to let the guest speak, not to hear the sound of your own voice. The few interviews he has done that were excellent were when he used his schpeil to get the guest talking about a topic in a way to both entertain and educate the audience. Sadly this seems to occur too infrequently. He should watch his real "Poppa Bear", Jon Stewart, more, who has nearly perfected this short interview format.
Lost: The Man From Tallahassee {TV Squad}
Mar 22nd 2007 10:56AM my only major gripe with this show is that you can't just push someone through a full glass window in a sky scraper. The tensile strength of the glass they use (as well as being tempered) just won't allow it.
