The one downside to watching this movie on Blu-ray will be missing the utter "What the hell was that?" feeling at the beginning, which only works in theaters. I'm can't explain further without spoiling something.

The sound quality on the BD better be top notch, as this had the most bombastic audio of any recent release I can recall.

I saw this in DLP, and I thought it looked great digitally, I would assume it will mirror the bluray.

There were some really good comedies this year, but this may be my favorite. Definitely picking this up.

Anyone who frequents movie talk will not be surprised to hear that I'm buying this on DAY 1. Loved the shit out of it.

This is the only movie I saw in the theater this year.

Got 2 free fandango tickets from AMEX with some slickdeals forum find.

I would have gladly paid $20 a ticket to see this movie.

The previously mentioned thing in the beginning of the movie, had me gasping for air from the get go. Not since Borat was a comedy made with such great disregard for BS PC crap, and it made the movie great!

Yeah it would go against the joke from the movie, but it would be awesome for an "In-character" commentary.

Yeah, that cover art is really sweet. In fact, it would be perfect if the actor's names at the top were smaller (or not there at all).

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. Robert Downey Jr.'s performance had me seek out and add Less Than Zero to my collection.

I'll pick up the Blu-ray.
