Well, remember it has been 10 years for many of us. I still haven't visited HTF and it has been months. Sometimes I'm just not interested.

I've tried to generate some enthusiasm in the Movie Talk section and it has been tough. People are becoming increasingly apathetic. I blame internet porn. :)

Sorry to see the demise of Davisdvd.com.

I've only discovered Davisdvd last year around the same time as DVDactive and i always thought DVDactive had much better news and releases. But yeah it sucks that it's gone for now.

DavisDVD was the first DVD website I found and Patrick was always cool enough to print my scoops when I had them. It is doubly sad that this happens on the same day that the guy from film ick says he's been feeling the same fatigue, although at least he isn't done, yet.

Rammsteinfan 10-30-07 10:22 PM

I was wondering why it wasnt being updated. Used to be one of my favs. Good luck Patrick!

petroc 10-30-07 11:31 PM

Sad to hear your site is going away. I will be looking for that new project you have in mind.

gotrice487 10-31-07 01:50 AM

Thank you very much Patrick for all your hard work! Your website was such a huge help in our hobby and it will be missed dearly!

Tarantino 10-31-07 02:27 AM

I could see it coming with the lack of updates...but that's where I went for visual representation of what was coming out week after week. I hate to see it go!

Davisdvd dies, and yet digitalbits continues on.

Why does the universe mock me so?

What's with the constant hate for TDB? They have been around since the beginning, have been tireless in their campaign for OAR, I seem to recall they were the first to break the news about the original Star Wars movies being non-anamorphic, and everybody laughed at them until LFL fessed up, and they were tireless in their fight to have it fixed (I don't think less of them for not succeeding, seeing as they were going against the Lucas juggernaut).

They may not update as often as I'd like, but they've been a constant presence in my DVD hobby for years.

For me, it's the ridiculous emphasis on high def. You'd think that normal dvd was the niche product given the ratio of coverage he gives.

That and the constant splooging over bluray. "My bluray player has a cool looking LED that lights up when I turn it on! Isn't that dreamy? It's just one more sign that shows how inferior hd-dvd is!". The guy pretends to be unbiased, and ludicrously pronounced the hd wars were over something like 6 months ago. :rolleyes: It was obvious to anyone with a brain who isn't on either side that both sides would be in this for a *long* time to come.

As someone who doesn't have either hd system, there simply isn't any reason to visit there any more.

They do cover hi-def as if it was going out of style, but being sick of hearing his opinions on Blu-Ray and disagreeing with them are two different claims. I think The Digital Bits has good coverage of the format war, and, for the record, constantly note that the format war is just beginning.

dx23 11-01-07 02:39 PM

I like thedigitalbits but I do agree that they are treating regular DVDs now as an afterthought.

tofferman 11-01-07 03:39 PM

Davisdvd.com was a site I visited daily and it will definitely be missed...

joliom 11-01-07 06:38 PM

Is our hobby slowly dying? It seems like everything is closing down...

DVD has grown by leaps and bounds since the 90's, and with hundreds of companies releasing thousands of films/shows/whatever a year across the world, it can be quite easy to get burned out, especially if you have to prepare and code things like press releases and cover galleries, like DavisDVD did; the fact that it was a one-man operation probably wasn't helping, either.

uncle-frank 11-01-07 10:25 PM

Davisdvd.com rest in peace, sim-ul-tan-i-us release...

seriously tho i will miss it

ds6161 11-01-07 11:25 PM
