I may just have to watch it myself :eyebrows: .
Oh, bingo!
I see I'm ageing quicker on AoS than in real life, just becoming a senior citizen. What's next, a bus pass? :lolsign:
Nope - just plenty of "Senior moments" ;) Congrats on your first century. :)Quote:

Well congrats too Roy, on your double-century. :) Good to see some new faces "getting stuck in" and becoming part of the furniture. :)
...although most of it's in 'three words' (think I've found my level)
I've been having senior moments for years :lol:Quote:

I wondered how you doubled my number of posts in the same time :lolsign:Quote:

Need to probably re-calibrate the TV to match in with the player, maybe it's ok though.
If I had known how incredible the picture was going to look I'd have bought one of these just for the picture upgrade :stalks:
Time to see what it's going to do with a DVD me thinks ;)
Ah, at last :eyebrows: Tiesto - The Elements Of Life on blu ray & with the full fat DTS-MA audio in 5.1 surround :eyebrows:
Pity I only have the TV on as it really should be spat out by the PJ ;)
Didn't stop me turning up the volume though! :wow: I have a feeling it's going to keep on going up to :lol:
E2A: Over to the projector :eyebrows:
The Green Lantern in Blueray:)
Natalie;)
Just watched The Hangover Part II . . . not good. The first film was mildly amusing, but making a sequel didn't work IMO. I'm not sure why I watched it really :scratch:
I watched it the other night and thought it was hilarious. I also thought Horrible Bosses was really funny.:lol:Quote:

The Warrior. Considering the cast, a wonderful and considered movie...
The Chronicles Of Riddick :D on blu ray...
A bit of action, a gobsmaking picture & now DTS-MA that really kicks some backsides.
Damn I love this Oppo player :rfl:
See you all tomorrow, this is just demanding my attention :wave:
I like Chronicles, but it's not quite up to the superb Pitch Black. The crash landing sequence alone is extremely well done.
2 of my favourite Sci Fi movies! :) Vin Diesel is somewhat better than he is in the Fast and Furious series.
I only have them on DVD. I'll have to think about Blu rays as replacements if they are good.
Well there is always this evening, nothing like working backwards :mental:Quote:

Aye the region/zone thing is a bitch :(
Not for me though ;) Just get a region & zone free player & the world is your oyster :)
Bring on anything :cool: Like those dirt cheap BDs I mentioned previously :eyebrows:

Aye, DVDs so region encoded & not zone encoded...
Instead of 3 there are 6 regions rather than 3 zones :scratch:
Makes no difference though at the end of the day :)
They all play here :cool:

You got it :) I hate being denied anything just because those up top say so & I have to buy it later & probably at an inflated price :rolleyes:Quote:

That extra £100 investment would have got you total immunity to it, I reckon that would already be 50 BDs in my collection that are zone A locked ;) Maybe more, I just can't be arsed to look :eyebrows:
Blu rays have a bit of a weird smell about them :scratch: Plastic fantastic :rfl: Barbie doll or something freaky but stiff plastic :)
Anyway I'm off to get well & truly mullered & absorb this BD once again, DTS MA selected & rocking the house Attachment 5793
That 5.1 thing I have been after in superb quality, Tiesto - Live In Copenhagen - Elements Of Life... Quite loud to, no point in it otherwise...
Prefer my dark ambient stuff but this is absolutely superb as an audio & video BD :cool:
Once again , see you all tomorrow :wave:

No, but I do blather on when I have had some :rfl:
Blu rays do stink when first opened, never noticed it with DVDs, but it is probably the case that smells :eyebrows:

Moby - Play (DVD)
Track one is funny as f*ck with all these different guys attempting to dance :rfl:
Must add though that some of the videos are absolutely awesome, Porcelain is in that category ;)
As an afternote the Oppo BD95 is doing the best job I have ever seen of upscaling this video :)
E2A:-OMG, Porcelain was incredible, the rest of them wouldn't put a 1080P TV to shame either via the Oppo player :rfl:
Next up The Art Of Noise :D
The Art Of Noise - Into Vision
Once I realised the Moby DVD was only encoded in stereo I hit the balanced outputs of the player....OMG :eyebrows:
This one is stereo & 5.1 ;)
I don't know the videos, Mark, but I like that album, especially Why Does My heart Feel So Bad?, which certainly gets the air moving. I like the album 18 even more :)Quote:
