If all you're getting is a look (high definition look nonetheless), why even bother when you have the real thing? People are weird. They yearn for things yet they fail to realise that they already have those things they wanted in front of their eyes.

Should i cabut too? The opposite side perhaps?whistling.gif

I don't get your argument. So if I yearn for Jessica Alba, I shouldn't bother because I already have the real thing? blink.gif

Or you're just trying to say that one jubblies is the same as another jubblies? Now that's not entirely true ain't it? Even if the exact duplicate set of jubblies is attached to two different "carriers", the experience with each one can be quite different. whistling.gif

BTW, wtf kind of word is jubblies anyway? laugh.gif

Sorry lah, that argument really cannot hold water. Basically I take it to mean that if you're "lucky" enough to have Sharifah Aini or Cherie Blair at home, you should not have any satisfaction to be derived from watching Jessica Alba in high definition glory in the movie Into the Blue.

My BD arrived already. But so sad I'm still away. Mega, keep it for me, will only be back on Thursday. doh.gif

I read some comments about bad PQ on old movies here. Old movies won't automatically have bad PQ. Many older movies (before late 1970s) uses 70mm film stock. With that kind of perforations, the resolution would be super ultra high. One example is 2001: A Space Odyssey.

35mm movies will still give ultra high resolution. Blade Runner was shot using 35mm anamorphic Panavision (2.35 ratio stretched to 1.33, meaning every single perforation will be used), and was scanned at 4k resolution before being downscaled to the BD resolution. Some movies were shot on 35mm Super35, with top/bottom parts cropped for theatrical release. This will give it some loss in resolutions. Example, Robocop. That said, it will also come back on the condition of the film itself. The special edition Star Wars on DVD was physically cleaned using chemical solutions, then scanned to digital form before being cleaned again by Lowry Digital (now part of DTS).

For movies shot on digital (can either be 1080p or i), that's as far as it can get. To get better resolution from it's source, it will need to be upscaled. So that's why movies shot on film are much, much better in resolution, and is ready for whatever future ultra hi-def format.

Did you guys know that some movies that was shot on digital, like Miami Vice, some grain was intentionally digitally created by the director to get the "look" of film?

PS: I just watched Sunshine 2 weeks ago, I love it! It's now one of my favorite "thinking sci-fi" flick. thumbup.gif

Yearning and obsessing are two different things. I would reckon that if you're at the stage where you purchase a BD just for the fact that there are two "jubblies" (or three, as in the case of Good Luck Chuck) to see, this is more than just a case of unbridled libido. Your wife is there for that.

If these jubblies are the ones you care about, then why dont get a whole bunch of high definition clips of jubblies of your choice and make them into a montage so that you can simply watch them over and over again ,rather than returning to that bookmarked chapter in your Into The Blue? And if you'd come back here saying you want soft porn with some semblance of a story, ........what story is there in Into the Blue or any soft porn titles out there anywhere?

The point here is, get the real deal, instead of obsessing on moving knockers on a flat screen. However alluring these mammaries are, they are still "flat" on the flat screen, not like the bosoms on your wife waiting in the bedroom.

Fantasizing and fawning over Tinseltown queens (or whores) are best left during the age where you are still reading Seventeen, or getting curious about your sexuality. Not when you're this old, and hopefully with the maturity that comes with it. rolleyes.gif

Pardon my language, or my slang, it comes with the territory. Unfortunately, im fairly assimilated with where i live and the people im around with, and that word "jubblies" comes very often in our day-to-day conversation.

....Now, let's get back to BD, rather than derailing with different ways of describing boobies/mammaries/jubblies/knockers/rack/ or its Malay equivalents. I agree with Aiman, Sunshine is a great thinking sci-fi. I Am Legend, if made exactly and stayed true to the book, would make a great sci-fi/drama/thriller alongside it. I still hold dearly to my two alltime favourite scifi :- 2001 :A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner.

P/S: Before anyone starts digging into my signature and finding out i actually have Into The Blue in my collection, that title is unfortunately part of the free 5 BD titles that comes with the previous Samsung BD Player that had came into my possession. Sadly you cant pick what titles you want around here, unlike in the States.

As I have notice from this thread, a lot of people here are buying BD simply for the sake of "watching" high-definition movie instead of watching the movie itself. I'm not saying that high-def is not important, it goes along side by side with the movie. It provides even more enjoyment when we watch our favorite movie. I'm trying to say that people will tend to neglect the story of the movie when they are too absorb into the high-def world. I myself would not buy a movie that have 5* PQ and AQ but with super lousy story.

Btw, boobies are great... I enjoy it. Not everyone can have those boobies like we seen in the movie. biggrin.gif

As i said earlier, every single film out there 'deserves' HD format, that include Malaysian film that consider to be sampah. Weather it's worth it or not, it's back to each preferences. That's the very basic in purchasing criteria and you cannot deny people preferences.

What you're saying here is moving the entire movie catalogue into HD, which i fully agree. What i do not agree with is that "movies with boobies" getting worship status, undeservingly, because those boobies are in high-def. That is what the current crop of audience have turn to when we celebrate movies like Epic Movie, Meet the Spartan, or the upcoming Superhero Movie, and turning our eyes from excellent titles like No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood.

Well, that is certainly a wrong way to enjoy film. But the enjoyment from HD picture is still there because we stuck at a crappy resolution for ages. We cannot deny the fact that HD is practically new, we perceive the value of HD format because of its technology and yada yada until we get used to it.

well, i for one really choose what i buy. since it's not cheap..so i prefer to buy something for my money's worth. unless you're ok with selling it back or renting it..then ok la. so review sites are very good as they highlight the rating for the movie itself, not only PQ and AQ. and yes, i probably would choose either an average rating of 4-5 stars for AQ/PQ AND movie. of course, what's the point of buying a movie with 5 star rating for movie, but lousy PQ and AQ. might as well buy dvd 9 at pasar malam. laugh.gif

but hey, to each their own. you bought the stuff with your own money, so u deserve to say whatever you like abt the BD u bought.

and yep bro mega..i know narnia 5 bintanggg....dun la racun2 me..hahahaha laugh.gif

Funny how you reply, and i quote:-

One very glaringly obvious example is the local audience in Malaysia in accepting their own cinematic work. See how rubbish like Cuci and countless other garbage-bin material like it gets celebrated as box-office champions while Yasmin Ahmad's offerings gets "cricket-chirping" response to say the least. Does this reflect upon Malaysian psyche and their level of thinking? Water-levels have never been any shallower.

High-def? Yes please, but i would never want to go to the movies watching crappy Apek comedy movies no matter how high-def his movies are, or how "defined" his nostril hairs are in high-def. Sorry, crappy stories will not attract audience no matter how gee-whiz-bang jawdropping it looks, without a palatable engaging story. Movies are about , in its literal mean, telling a story.
