Now Screening - What Are You Watching Right Now?

Planet Earth was the first Bluray I bought

My first DVD was Stargate, it came with the Pioneer DV-505 player. That's a while ago now, but still a good film.

Gosh, can't remember what my first DVD would have been - would probably be one of a few, possibly Fight Club or The Matrix as I got my first DVD player (the venerable Wharfedale DVD750) in early 2000. (That machine certainly convinced me I will never not have a standalone CD player!) Stargate is a great film, though - 1994!

My first blu-ray was Terminator Salvation, its an ok film but great graphics and sound, a stunner IMO among the high def stuff.

I cant remember what my first DVD was, i may not even own it any more as i sell the ones i don't watch.

My last DVD i bought was Sorcerers Apprentice, love the film loads.

The last blu-ray i had was Lord of the Rings trilogy, seen them on DVD, BD versions are a bit better but not mind blowing, shame really as there good films, although i probably won't watch them again lol, ebay i think for those.

Blue Planet was my first DVD I think...

P.S. The first 2 Pacific episodes were very good, however I doubt it was sponsored by Honda...

Very good picture and sound quality too Gave the sub a real workout

Just hope those idiots at 'LoveFilm' send me the rest in the correct order, sometime this year would be nice too.

'The Shining' was my first ever DVD. What I didn't realise at the time was that it was the shorter European cut, and the longer US cut was only available on (what was then) an expensive import. As a disgruntled punter I refused to pay any more even when the imports became a lot cheaper. Fortunately Sky recently aired the full version as an 'extended edition'.

Did see the Blu-ray at a friends and something weird was going on with the colours, things that should have been yellow appeared to be pinkish. Checked online and quite a lot of people had complained about this, though no-one seemed to know why it had happened.

Bears, great documentary, fine picture

Strangely i don't even mind the music

The City of Lost Children
Directed by Marc Caro, Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Starring Ron Perlman, Dominique Pinon, Jean-Claude Dreyfus. 1994.

I have been watching...

Lemmy - the new rockumentary about, well, Lemmy. Worth it if you have any interest in the man and his music, also the sound quality is outstanding.

Mr Nice - about Howard Marks, the Oxford-educated international drug dealer. Not as entertaining as I hoped it would be, but still worth a watch.

Just sat down for a relaxing evening and put on one of my fav classic films, Smokey and the Bandit, very good film.



Not a bad transfer to DVD, less on screen noise than when watching on TV.
