summary..
QUOTE
Caine, who plays Bruce Wayne's loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. "I said, 'What's the story?' and he said The Joker. I said, 'Oh, s-t! How are you going to top Jack [Nicholson]?' He said, 'Well, I've cast Heath Ledger. And I went 'Ha! I couldn't top Jack, but if anyone could, maybe Heath could.' And he did.

"I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, 'Are we going to make another one?' They said yeah. I said, 'How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says 'I'll tell you how you top Heath -Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.' I said, 'S-t, they've done it again!'"

i guessed this one right the moment i saw TDK.. who could b a better Riddler than Johnny Depp?? hahah Who!!

callmevil, that piece of story was proven to be bull.
but so far, johnny depp randomly mentioned that it would be 'a good idea' if he was approached to be the riddler.

Will try that...it could be as i used the 'Dynamic' mode for the pictures setting in my R8..

default 'Dynamic' Settings are

Contrast - 100 (Full)
Brightness - 45
Sharpness - 75
Colour - 55

Any sifu care to give personal setting preference?

Edited: End of Days are running now at Star Movies..if good then buy the BD hehehe...forgot how the movie was
*
ok here is how this setting works jep, we use this tv settings to enhance / make better / upgrade , our viewing experience. the thing with Bluray is, its running at 1080p.. max of what most tvs can do now.. therefore, since all pixels is filled up edi in blurays, there is no need to use 'sharpness' anymore as sharpness can only make the image worse off since there is nothing to intepret and enhance in terms of pixels anymore.

this goes for every other 'special' functions the tv can do.. like drc/wideccolor/edge enhancer/noise reduction/gamma correct/white/contrast adjuster/bla bla, all this will be pointless to activate for bluray movies as the movie is considered 'perfect' already. only thing u have to be concern about is the Main settings, i.e. contrast/brightness/color/backlight/color temp/and if u can the RGB balance..

now, this is different if we're talking about source other than Blurays, like say astro. now this is not perfect source, therefor u will need to activate and use a number of the tv's software like the drc/edge enhance/sharpness/noise/gama/bla bla.

the 'dynamic' settings to me sounds like a showroom option. go for 'movie' if there is that option available if for bluray

Thanks for the tips bro...anyway the tv have a 'Movie' mode...but somehow the image becomes a bit smooth and too soft for my liking. maybe i need to play around a bit with the contrast and brightness..
*
ah dont worry. the 'movie' mode is just to activate some functions that u cant access in the normal menu. ok. just set it to 'movie' and then continue doing the 'adjustments' .. hmm mind sharing ur tv brand/model? ill do some research on it and hopefully can come back with a calibration setting for u:)

crazy eh.. those are some stupid artifacts.. i say change ur tv. just return the set and complain the HDMI not handshacking properly... /sigh this is the prob i hate with hdmi, need to handshake again.. wtf...
--------
Hmmm i think price went down due to, oil price turun, and the steady rise of the US dollar..

on that note, since price increase for our product due to rise in oil prices,,, but now that oil prices down, how come still the price not yet down??

Ok, in a normal Amazon box than con contains up to 10 bds. the charge is around 30-40 sgd. which is around 90 ringgit.

However if amazon split your shipment because of different warehouse center, your cost will increase because this involves 2 packages. on average the cost is 15 per BDs.
*
if this happens, then just play around with the shipment options, u can manipulate it till it becomes '1 shipment'
