KK 3,307 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm still baffled at the brilliance Howard conjures for his films.I was going to agree with this . . . except the answer's probably not that difficult. I think it's just the fact that Howard's brilliant. He doesn't rely on good material to create good material. He brings his best every time.- UniNot every time...

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Netflix streams reasonably close to actual 1080p anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 It was decent quality, and I feed my signal through a BR player via HDMI cable, since the TV supports 1080. The image did go wonky in Bagghar, but rewinding a few moments fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 That surprises me.

Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The problem with streaming usually isn't the resolution (not even the perceived resolution) but the compression rate. I watch most of my TV shows as captured HDTV downloads, and the recompression just noticeably reduces the image quality. In scene with a lot of movement, the image can quickly deteriorate due to compression artifacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 798 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Skyfall.Why can't I get into this franchise..? Another entry that doesn't resonate with me at all. Characters I care nothing about, a plot that feels like a rehash of another movie and it was nowhere near as 'serious' or 'different' than I was led to believe.And that actress who plays M: I know that woman won like Golden Globe awards and shit, but I just don't believe her in that particular role. I keep seeing some common, no-starpower-at-all granny they picked up from the streets. She lacks the attitude, the conviction to play what she is suppose to play. She might be great in Jane Eyre, but in the Bond movies she sticks out like a soar thumb.Of course it doesn't help that the plot is focussed on her.So I've probably hurt some Bondies in here, so bring it on bitches..!

crocodile 8,051 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 You see, I don't really think she is portraying anyone. Not here not in pretty much any other film she's done. Not so much of an actress, but a presence, rather. I don't think she acts most of the time. She is just being Judi Dench... and gets away with it.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's owned that role for over a decade. Hard to imagine anyone else in her place, like Desmond Llewelyn as Q, but I'm glad they took the time to make that inevitable transition when they could.
