There are DVD downloads out there usually 1-2 months after they hit theaters in the States. And full HD releases a week or four before the BD drops anywhere. They can all be viewed comfortably on your TV any number of different ways. Now there is the whole moral dilemma thing, but while I'm not saying it's right, when you look at <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/releaseinfo" rel="nofollow">release lists</a> (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478134/releaseinfo" rel="nofollow">very</a> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765443/releaseinfo" rel="nofollow">typical</a>) and ticket/disc prices in Japan it's hard to feel too bad about it. But then there is the whole issue of subtitles which sort of throws a wrench into things. You can find subtitles for any major motion picture or TV show in any language except Japanese. It's not fun trying to do a simultaneous interpretation of an entire movie (let alone 3 and a half seasons of Lost). I actually did find a set of subtitles for Spider-man 3, but it was full of 萌～s and わんばんこ～s Downloads don’t have to be for the computer chair.

There Will Be Blood also amazing. I’ve never read any McCarthy, but No Country for Old Men is an amazing movie. There Will Be Blood also amazing.
