In Topic: Blu-ray

I don't remember this one as a snoozer but as a beautiful tragedy. However, the image quality of this Blu-ray release it terrible, IMO. Too much brightness, noise or grain and the colors look pale. Admittedly, the colors of my DVD are way too saturated, at least the images look like oil paintings of the old masters. I'm disappointed.

 

BTW, filmmusic, there are no English subtitles.

 

 

 

 

So, I guess, it was worse than these 2?

You got it? let us know about the quality.. (and if it has English subtitles)

and, is it a BD25 or 50?


In Topic: John Williams' ROSEWOOD expanded 2 cd set coming on May 21 from Lalaland...

Today, 01:24 PM

Ordered as well.

As for the design, very nice work, going by the samples. Though I would have made some other choices... but that's just me.

 

i don't like at all the WB logo.

it makes it look like a Christmas wrapping or something..


In Topic: Quartet Announces Heidi by John Williams!

I doubt the other vendors have gotten their stock yet, Quartet is probably just shipping it to them now

 

Ah, ok...

Are you sure? It means that from now on you'll need to skip every future fantasy or science fiction movie.

 

 

yes, almost sure.. ;) (I am talking mostly about superhero movies, but others in general too)

well, the only fantasy films I've seen of the last years is the Dark Knight rises,the Dark Knight and Prometheus..

And those just to see what was all the fuss about (the first 2), and the 3rd because i loved the Alien series.

haven't seen (and probably won't) the Hobbit, Thor, Captain America, all the latest X-men movies, the Iron Man movies (saw the 1st one), the apes movies, dredd, john carter, total recall etc. etc..

 

to tell you the truth, i don' t see many recent films generally.

I watch one film every day, and those are: 99.9% from 1930-2000 (mostly 1930-1990) , and 0.1% from 2000-today (mostly the oscar nominated ones)

main reasons for this:

1) the music

2) prefer traditional effects over CGI

3) movies to me are an escape from reality, and because recent movies (even sci-fi and fantasy) have a realistic ouvre (eg compare the Nolan Batman with Tim Burton's), i prefer to see old movies, because i need psychologically an escape  from now and reality.
