Go visit a high end enthusiast, and watch what he plays. 99.99% well recorded crap.
At some point love for superficial stuff begins to dominate.
I am a sucker for plasma too, but I know I am swallowing sugar. And I know Clark was right - La Strada does look better... OK, make it more right... on a B&W screen.
Follow Ups:
Yes.
I was pointing out that the sound of a movie through a High End sound installation, tuned for movies is a try to get nearer to the original.
Now did Lafite used the addition of sugar in bad years...Who knows....
The bottle now is at Euro 500 for a 1990.
An excellent choice.
Lafite.
That's the reason for that particular one zooming off into stratosphere. Nouveau Russkies like expensive champagnes so they've not affected much.
Myself?
I'll go with the Burgundy, except that they've been beyond my reach (at least the Grand) for quite some time.
I'll get to drink a DRC only if one appears under the tree some Christmas or I find one on the street.
Tragic but true.
Bourgogne are just the best.
...by adding sugar to your Black Box cabernet.
Not sure about expensive champagne among the Russian rich scum, but for sure they gulp up tons of d'yquem.

great pleasures. The thought of a bunch of guys drunk on vodka guzzling it makes me nauseous.
Tell that to Europe who is totally dependent on their gas.

I can neither verify nor confirm that theory, as I have no Blue R... errr... W&P on fine paper.OTOH, I wholeheartedly agree Jamie Colby looks far sexier in HD! :)
And if I lost my mind and began to watch sports, then the HD would be the only way to go!
"Nurse, move the Blue Ray into Napoleon's room... he's been getting restless lately! And double on his meds!"

Now what is fine paper. A paper that smell good whose quality you feel under your fingers from side to side, character well well roundly printed, yes that ad to the pleasure of your senses, making them more aware more sensitive, try that young girl with a preservative and without...
Am I getting to slippery?
Watch sport? Now that would be kinky.
BD is most of the time an excellent amelioration. It also compensate for the old goat syndrome of lesser sight.
When the companies discovered they could drastically reduce the distortion level through the use of semiconductors and tons of negative feedback.
We started getting truly impressive specs. And we all know what happened next.
I think today all that high quality video crap moves us further and further away from the appreciation of artistic elements in films. We are becoming "videophiles" who sit there watching their pixels and contrast, much like the audiophiles listening to imaging and extensions. Doesn't matter what's playing - Mahler or Les Ketchups.

Well this is a learning curb. In this hobby we all are idiots. Some hear the music without having the need for anything Hi-fi.
The best is the two world. After having set a good system audio or and video, just let yourself enjoy it without neurosis.
Life force us to seek a compensation for our lost innocence.
