Re: HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: The Professionals
Just finished watching the Bd release. What fun it was to see this again.
I've always maintained that one of the great things about owning a front projector has been the ability to approach theatrical presentations of older films that I have only been able to view via home video. DVD enabled this to occur to a large degree, and the High Definition formats have improved the experience substantially.
Watching
The Professionals on Bd this evening was just a terrific experience. There is a scene early in the film (around the 26 minute mark) where Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster are setting side by side and having a conversation. The Bd release really brings out the detail in their faces and makes you feel like you are almost setting across from them, participating in the conversation.
The often repeated phrase "They don't make'em like that anymore" is very appropriate when applied to this wonderful film.
Paul, I don't know specifically which scene you are referring to but I am assuming it is the shot inside her living quarters when Marvin and Lancaster break in. The area around her breasts is darkened, but the scene is so quick that I didn't notice anything too strange about the scene other than I couldn't see her breasts.

Highly, highly recommended release. Couldn't locate it a Fry's so I had to pick it up at Best Buy for about $5.00 more than Fry's; but worth every cent for the pleasure of seeing this again in High Definition.
Edit: Oh yeah, I watched the trailer for Starship Troopers 3: Marauder. Man, did that look cheesy. Might be a good guilty pleasure though; but I kind of doubt that will be the case.
