HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: The Fifth Element - April Fools (1 Viewer)

[AlexBC]

I think it's a fantastic idea David

I'd really like to see as many BD reviews from you as you can put out, not only limited to Disney studios I hope :wink:

No offense to the other great reviewers we have on board, but I'd really appreciate your opinion, and the more we can get, the better.

 

[LaMarcus]

I think it's a good idea, just to see how the movies perform on different equiptment (projectors, receivers, etc)

 

[DaViD Boulet]

Exactly.

I know that I'm interested just as well. What's a Blu-ray look like on a CRT RP television? 1080I compared to 540P? What's the LPCM 24/96 sound like on someone's recevier with 5-channel input? HDMI input?

 

[PeterTHX]

Well I have the Sony KD-34XBR960, simply the finest consumer CRT ever produced...

Plus the Onkyo TX-SR803, which accepts multichannel PCM thru its HDMI input....

hint hint

 

[DaViD Boulet]

And *why* are you not an HTF reviewer I might ask?



Yes...PeterTHX...rest assured that you would be more than welcome...encouraged...to post any of your own review-impressions of AV into any review thread of my own.

Why not?

I think that HD is a time to pull out all the stops. My idea of a "review thread" at HTF for a Blu-ray title would be one where the studio-reviewer posts his impressions as usual, then any other HTF reviewers (who might have access to a screener before release) post their review in the same thread...then HTF members would be encouraged to pose THEIR reviews as well once they get a hold of the disc. What a *great* review thread that would be...covering a wide range of systems and perceptions. As long as everyone does a good job describing their set up and viewing habits, I think it could be of real value...

 

[PeterTHX]

Um, not enough typos in my posts?

Well, I would love to, but the studios seem to pass me over for screeners. :b

 

[TonyD]

i cant wait to see 5th element in HD.

oh and dave, i'm coming for you.

 

[RodneyT]

Good one. Got me good. Now I really can't wait for a look at HD discs..... its made me realise how much I want to get my hands on one.....

 

[Jesse Skeen]

Bet it doesn't really look as good as my laser-rotted LD

 

[George_W_K]

Well, I didn't get fooled by this since I've caught it so late and "April Fools" is now in the title. But, as well as you wrote your fake review, David, I probably would have fallen for it. Nice job!
