We love running contests around here, and we’ve got another great one this week. Our friends at Dolby Labs have given us two Blu-ray copies of the action blockbuster smash ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol‘ with explicit instructions that they are to be delivered to two of you, our readers. (Sadly, the message didn’t self-destruct afterwards. That would have been really cool.) We’re happy to oblige. If you’d like a chance to win one, read on after the page break.
In addition to being tremendously entertaining, ‘Ghost Protocol’ also makes for fabulous eye and ear candy on Blu-ray. Here’s a video interview with director Brad Bird talking about the movie’s sound design and the Blu-ray’s Dolby TrueHD 7.1 soundtrack:

How do you win? Our photo caption contests always seem to be a hit, so let’s do another one of those. All you have to do is come up with a funny or clever caption for the following image. Click to enlarge.
For example: “C’mon, Tom. Just ten more crunches and your workout is done for the afternoon.”
Pretty simple, right? The winners will be chosen at our own subjective discretion based on whichever responses we enjoy the most. We have two copies of the Blu-ray to give away.
Entries are limited to 10 per person. That should give you plenty of opportunity to craft a good submission, but will also help us to avoid any potential appearance of awarding prizes based on volume rather than quality.
This contest is only open to entrants from the domestic United States. We will not ship internationally (whether you’re a U.S. citizen or not). Employees of High-Def Digest or Internet Brands and their families are not eligible. Standard contest rules and conditions apply. People who have won any of our previous contests within the past one year are also not eligible to win, but may get Honorable Mentions.
The deadline for entry is this Friday, April 27th. The winners will be announced next week. Good luck, everyone!

And that’s when Josh saw the cloud’s silver lining: yes, Drew’s attacks were relentless and brutal, but at least his grip would never let go.

“Hawkeye?…Really?…I’m Ethan Hunt and they send freaking Hawkeye to save me?!? Thor or Captain America could just pull me back up! If I fall, Iron Man could catch me! Black Widow could……………….. The Hulk can just jump up and grab me King Kong style! But they send me freaking Hawkeye! Yeah, save me with your arrows Katniss!”
Robb
Tom, I believe the Ghost Protocol would call for a color that’s a little harder to see than BLACK!
Robb
This is so very Ghost-y of you, Ethan! No one would look for you on the side of a building!
Robb
Ethan…ETHAN! Ok, I promise I won’t call you Mike ever again if you just get back in the building!
Robb

Ethan: “Trying to get rid of these damn black bars! I can barely see anything!”
Robb
Ethan, when I said Hendrix has left the building, I was referring to the famous line about JIMI HENDRIX not Hendricks!
Robb
Tom, Ghost Protocol means no backup and no support so these cables holding you kind of contradict the whole movie, don’t ya think?
Robb
Ok, so you’ve seen my “very upset” but you’ve never seen me hang out of a building like this!
Robb
Yeah, but would Jason Bourne ever do this? I’m not Jason Bourne! I just play a character like Jason Bourne!
