I'm officially done with DVDs.

[Joe Molotov]

Now that I've seen this.





LTTP, I know, but Planet Earth looks crazy delicious in 1080p. I'm going all-in on Blu-Ray from now on.

HD Video

S-Video

I was watching 2010 this afternoon, and even it's 1984 SFX shots looked awesome thanks to the power of BLU.

Welcome to the HD brethren.

Pro tip: dont buy day one. Ive been burned a few times now by discs with fucked up transfers and/or audio issues (Slumdog Millionaire being the most recent one - Ive never had a DVD/BD with such fucked up equalization issues) that most of the review sites glossed right over. Wait until AVS or some place like that has overanalyzed the shit out of it.

Planet Earth on Blu-Ray is amazing.

I'm watching Bangkok Dangerous right now, and Nic Cage's hair looks stunning in High Definition.

alternative way to get burned: subtitle snafus

not buying right away is SPECIALLY important on catalog re-releases. so many not-even-upscaled DVD transfers on the format, it's sick. on the other hand, correctly remastered stuff looks AMAZING. last year's Kubrick discs are to die for, but my current classic reference disc is Zulu.

Indeed. I still have not purchased Let The Right One In for this very reason.

I heard they were supposed to be changing the subtitles back to the original theatrical version in all future pressings, but how can you tell the difference?

That's where I got mine. it was like $17 shipped to the US. WOO

The back will say "English subtitles (Theatrical)."

No way to know if you're buying from Amazon tho :////

Let's stay up all night for the midnight release of The Boat that Rocked on Blu-Ray then watch it until the sun comes up.
