Ah Beautiful. Thanks. Preorder placed.
Looks good to me.
the problem with that picture is that real beards are not made up of smeared, smudgy black paint.
those subtle details found on real human beings and real fabrics are destroyed by too much noise reduction.

Which movie is this from?

Yeah, fuck grain. More wax dolls, please!
DNR is crap too. Both must die.
I must've been too caught up in people's impressions of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly to realize. Oh well, it bears repeating I suppose.

I'm guessing you think shooting a movie on film should die as well?

Naturally. What's the benefit?
It used to be Predator.

Predator. It's from the Ultimate Hunter Edition.

Which edition is the one that is rather decent and grainy?
At the least, I'm with you. I won't cry when film dies. *shrugs*

Seriously guys, I need to see DAT MOSSAD SWAGGER in HD.
How about people who think that both should coexist? There are ups and downs to both and there's no reason to not support the continued existence of both other than to make silly extreme forum posts. Artists should be able to choose to shoot on whatever they want and make it look how they want. :>

Do you have to be a zealot about everything?
No reasonable headed person who's experienced with photography, film-making or even just art in general is going to advise for the death of film.
As pizzaroll said, artists will look at what they're trying to convey and choose appropriately which method fits their vision.

I have searched my soul long and deep for the answer to this question.
I have yet to produce an answer, but until then I'm content with just going with what I feel.

Though honestly, I didn't really mind the clean look, the jungle scenes are very pretty.
But I dislike HD film grain (at least when it's clearly noticeable), so what do I know.
I need to get it. Watched the movie on DVD and it was quite good. Dat chariot race

So is Last Starfighter really bad and not worth upgrade from DVD?

Absolutely. They're gorgeous transfers. I can't comment on the quality of anything but the movies themselves though.

In the case of Predator... I'll take the DNR Ultimate Hunters Edition (which I own). I don't mind grain but it's too excessive and distracting in the original blu-ray.

Yeah, the boxed set is really nice. It includes all the making of stuff too, which I really enjoyed seeing for the first time. Those are on DVDs though.
The picture quality looked really, really nice to me. I don't own many blurays though.
Only complaint is that the movies are each split across two Blurays, but it's not a big deal when the films are this long, and the intermissions occur at good times.
Also, the Canadian version (possibly other places, but I don't think this is the case for the US) has some annoying trailers at the start of each first disc that I have to skip through one by one.
Can someone elaborate on this please? Is the picture quality different in these releases? Impulse bought a bunch of blu's yesterday and I couldn't resist a €6 steelbook Sin City, only to read now that there's a great 2 disc version...
My haul : Sin City, Collateral (watched this yesterday. Thought it looked great. If you like grain, get this
), Thin Red Line, Kingdom of Heaven DC, Platoon, Toy Story 3 and Lion King. Can't wait to watch all of these.

Different transfer IIRC. Difference mostly noticeable in the Fellowship.Can someone elaborate on this please? Is the picture quality different in these releases? Impulse bought a bunch of blu's yesterday and I couldn't resist a €6 Sin City, only to read now that there's a great 2 disc version...
My score : Sin City, Collateral (watched this yesterday. Thought it looked great. If you like grain, get this
Can't wait to watch all these.

Oh, sorry read only the top part of the post you quoted and assumed you meant that.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
They're blind. Zodiac is the pinnacle of 1080p video.

They suck. They're both extremely unfaithful to the original looks of the films.
Fellowship of the Rings extended edition makes me gag for the same reason
