...same with old black-and-white films like The Third Man, where the Vienna streets gleam with an almost erotic palpability. Any movie that looks good in another format - Sleeping Beauty, Raging Bull, Chungking Express, The Passion of the Christ - will look better on Blu-ray. Different, deeper, better. Realer...
...which game is better? We preferred, slightly, the instruments that came with Guitar Hero. The pint-size guitars feel realer and more substantial, and the toy drum set comes with a pair of fake cymbals that make pounding it that much more satisfying. But--and it's a big one--the Recessionists vastly, overwhelmingly preferred the way Rock Band looked onscreen. While you're playing the game, you're watching notes stream toward you--plus lyrics if you're the singer--and at the same time, you're checking how well you and your bandmates are doing. That...

Minor Accomplishments gets off to a middling start, with a forced, satirical episode involving a cult and '70s movie icon Sally Kellerman. It gets realer and funnier in the next three, which focus on Jackie's dream: writing a long-gestating biopic about her aunt, a '30s Roller Derby star. The movie gets sold--not by Jackie but by a man she briefly dates who steals the idea. She ends up hired as his writing...
