Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

this is pointless, lets try to get back on subject.

>>>But you are still dwelling on an issue I was not trying to address<<<
"But I am trying to address it,"

Then you are trying to change the subject. Feel free to start another thread if you find this other unrelated issue interesting. But it has *nothing* to do with my comments on picture quality film v. home theater.

"because for ME, the watching environment is a big part of the experience, but maybe not for others. I don't know why you keep avoiding this issue."

Because, as stated so many times now, it isn't what I was talking about. Please go back and check out the context. The question was whether or not improvements in bluray over DVD were worth extra money when it comes to old films. WTF does noisy kids have to do with it? You misunderstood my comment about the film going experience. Maybe that was my fault but I clarified. You still hung onto the misunderstanding like a pitbull.If it is a subject that is near and dear to you please feel free to discuss it in a new thread or an old thread where it is relevant. seriously, it has no relevance here in a discussion on the value of bluray over DVD when it comes to old films.

>>>I guess even after I spell it out you insist on harping on issues that are utterly irelevant of image quality<<<
"For me, there is more to the "theater experience" than just image quality. I don't understand why you cannot grasp this."

No, I do grasp it. That is why I made myself clear ther second time around. You just won't let it go.

>>>Ther are theaters that use the best projection equipment and the best prints etc. and enforce a code of conduct and clean their floors<<<
"We've been through this-I should have specified *in my area*, not the entire galaxy. Again, I am speaking of MY experiences, not all of mankind's."

OK fine, you have shitty theaters where you live. that sucks. I feel for you. Now can we try to stay on subject now that you have clarified your points and I have clarified mine?

>>>That being there is a huge divide between the quality available from film and home theater.<<<
"THAT IS ONLY TRUE IF THE THEATER IS PROPERLY SET UP AND THE MOVIE IS IN FOCUS, SOUND NOT DISTORTED etc. Your locals may be, but not all are. In my area, its hit and miss."

OK lets try to put this back into context. the huge divide between film and home video is irrelevant to any particular inferior experiences you have encountered. the question at hand was about Bluray v. DVD. As media they are both vastly inferior to the source, film. Therefore what I was trying to say with a little flair that got taken way out of context was that even with old films any real improvement in video playback has aesthetic merit because they all have a long way to go before they are of the same quality as one can get from film projection. even older films shot on inferior stock and degraded by age.
