Ooh Snatch on superbit, that would rock.

no problem. i own the Snatch superbit, and it sounds and looks great. That one is a Superbit Deluxe also, meaning the Extra's are on a 2nd disc. 😀

How good a dvd player would make a difference in a superbit movie?

I don't think we would really benefit from superbit now since we have a rather basic non-HiFi TV and DVD Player.

But investing on buying superbit DVDs now for the future might be a good idea.
 
american splendor was interesting in a quirky kinda way. if you like quirky movies about quirky people, its great for you. i was entertained, but not blown away or anything.


in once upon a time in mexico there were a few ok shots, but mostly the visuals were horrible. it looked like cheap dv half the time, and even when it didn't, it still didnt look quite right. it looked like giant video tv up there, and thats jarring, it takes any dramatic effect out of the scene since its like watching a tv sitcom show instead of a movie. makes everything come off cheesy and unprofessional.

the director needs to get b*tch slapped for being sony's digital camrea whore. wonder how much money is involved with that decision.

if your going to make a movie devoid of substance and relies on its beauty, why would you even mess with the one aspect you think you'd have going for you? good lord.



not to mention the acting....they stuck some male britney singer in for kicks or something, and the story is a mess.

the gun fights? mostly badly directed. random boom boom.

nothing worked.

well salma is hot! but thats not enough, she's not in most of the scenes anyhow. alison loman is hot too, she's 22 so don't think i'm pervy

i do admit the trailer looked amazing, but i guess that goes to show, can't judge a movie by the trailer. i knew it should have some style from the trailer, so i'd be happy with loads of style even if the story was only ok. but even on that front it didn't deliver. all the best bits were definetly in the trailer.



i also saw match stick men. now that was impressive. makes once upon a time in mexico look like a dog.
 
Once Upon a Time in Mexico was one of the worst movies I've seen in a while. My friends and I almost left the theater but decided not to so that we didn't just throw away or 9 dollars.
 
9/22 Update: We recently saw Matchstick Men and like all Ridley Scott films, I highly recommend you see it. Nicholas Cage and Sam Rockwell did a great job.
