Looking for BluRay Disc Recommendations
Richard Cranium
exceptional - much better than SD DVDs. Audio, however, is usually
not that much better, if at all. There are exceptions. My wife is a
Celine Dion fan and her Las Vegas show disc "A New Day" has absolutely
fantastic audio that combines with the video to produce an exceptional
overall viewing experience. The lossless audio really enhances the
show. Any recommendations for other BluRay discs that have great
audio tracks?

really good reviews on regular and Blu-Ray DVDs.

Any movie or specifically concert discs?
Before I list a few personal picks, I'd mention that there *are* some
blu-ray releases that are marginal at best especially for video quality that
are barely a step up from their dvd counterparts. In fact, a few, like the
BR release of Patton is arguably inferior to the older dvd release despite
the higher resolution blu-ray offers due to ridiculous amounts of digital
"clean up" which includes filtering for so-called excess grain removal as
well as edge enhancement.
Anyway, here's my picks for overall best releases with emphasis on audio
quality on blue-ray broken down to two self explanatory categories:
Movies:
Any Pixar film (Wall-E, Ratatouille, Cars)
The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy (especially the 2nd and 3rd films)
Transformers
King Kong
Cloverfield
The Dark Knight
Independence Day
Concerts:
The Police - Certifiable
Nine Inch Nails - Beside You In Time
Destiny's Child - Live In Atlanta
AC/DC - Live At Donnington
BR titles to avoid (or just buy the dvd release)
Patton
The Fugitive
Gangs Of New York
U2 Rattle And Hum

You're an idiot. Without a shelf full of titles and a player, you have
no place making assessment, you retarded twit.

None that you deserve to hear about.

I guess you never heard of Netflix.
You're ugly, your dick is small, and everybody fucked your mother.

At least I know that anything emanating from your pie hole will be
phony BS.

You take the interloper prize in this group, kook.

Since you invaded this thread with nothing of value, you are most
certainly a threadkilling interloper.

Sorry Archie. You are the only kook here. We all know that you are the
proud owner of several Usenet Kook Awards. Those awards are not just
handed out to anyone. You have to earn them. Congrats.

They are so fucking retarded that they spend their entire life in the
group declaring how they are so much better than those they deride.
Quite a tell seeing you actually giving them credence.

Why would you argue with kooks? Wouldn't it be better to try and add
something of value to a group?

Sounds like a confession, Archie. You spend your life declaring how you
think you are so much better than everyone else and how you make the
world a better place. Pretty kooky stuff!
> Quite a tell seeing you actually giving them credence.
Actually, having them recognize you is all the credence they need.

Thata boy, Archtard! Counter them with idiocy!

Video is the problem. Audio for the most part has gotten steadily
better no matter what medium it is in.
The video is only as good as the movies or whatever that are copied
to them. In the 1960's and the early 1970s, mainstream movies and TV
were tack-sharp. Soft-filtering of everyone over the age of 18 hadn't
come into vogue. In the mid-1970s, a lot of movies, especially the
cheap ones were made with terrible looking film production, washed
out, not sharp at all. By the late 1980's, soft-filtering had reared
its ugly head meaning any humans on the DVD or Blu-Ray or scenery
will look no better than if you were watching a standard NTSC
television broadcast.
