that faggot voice is so annoying

Oliver Stone seems to be so bored out of his mind when Baz speaks haha. Three great directors though.

Michael Mann is the greatest living American filmmaker. Need evidence? See: Miami Vice and Ali.

[5eurocups2005]

@JackieBrown101 You got that right, and there is more evidence! Manhunter, Thief, Collateral, Heat, The Last of The Mohican's, The Insider and Public Enemies.

Blu-Ray..that is it man....downloadable content is already taking over along with streaming. The more advanced we get with the average home owner getting higher bandwidth. The more downloaded content and instant streaming will grow. There will always be people like me who love physical media but i also love sitting around and selecting something online from the couch. Which is where our culture is growing.

I find the use of color re-timing (FRIEDKIN) and digital noise reduction (Patton, The Thing, Predator, etc.) troubling and steers me away from Blu-Ray.

[AndrewMann552]

So far I've enjoyed Blu-Ray's quality, but I won't seriously invest until it completely takes over the way DVD basically erased the VHS aisles at the video stores.

I don't think blu-ray will be the last physical format.

What about a 4K format? That would be the ultimate for me.

I'm very reluctant in investing in blu-ray, although it's pretty difficult to resist those Criterion editions...

@zeroinfinit You'd need a screen about 30 feet long to see a difference between 2k and 4k

[zeroinfinit]

I think a 60" TV would be enough to display 4K, so that you would notice the difference.

But wouldn't you like to have a physical format that had the maximum possible image data of a released movie? Some movies were shot at 70mm. I think the final physical format would have to deliver the maximum image quality of how the movie was shot, be it 16, 32, 70mm, 2k, 4k, etc.

great Kubrick nugget...
