"Die Hard"?!

Best holiday movie ever!

Hey Rene, don't know how to contact you otherwise, so: Just received notice that my new 27" iMac w/ Retina Display has shipped--whoo-hoo! So a few questions: 1) Does the display need to be calibrated? I'm just an amateur with Photoshop etc., so I've never calibrated a display before. If so, where are some instructions?
2) Would be cool to watch some Blu-Rays on it, I would think. Do you do that on your machine? If so, do you have any Blu-Ray external drives that you would recommend? Recommended Blu-Ray software? Thanks! -
1) Nope! 2) I don't, I use a blu-ray player on my TV, but there are several good BD drives for Mac.

Do you know which drives those are?
