I was about to say, "Gladiator is going to be hard for me to resist.", but I think you've just shown me the way.

Seriously, are they changing this movie from 6.1 to 5.1? Why?

I'm guessing that 5.1 is a misprint. This should be 6.1 at the very least. I remember that was a big deal when the DVD first came out.
