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.

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.

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.
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.
