I have wondered about this for a very long time.
This is not a criticism, but some simple questions, so please don't take it the wrong way....
With just about all the attention focused on how a DVD looks, sounds, whether they are up to standard, even the cover art, I wondered if anyone here is still able to look beyond all the technology and enjoy the storylines, characters...the films themselves?
I completely understand why so much focus is on the aspect ratio (I can't stand a P/S film either) and the surround sound- they are key to the experience. I just wanted to know if the quality of the film also counts.
I may be answering my own question by saying that your passion for the technology is proof that you want the film to be enjoyed the way it deserves to be, but that would only be a guess.
Don't get me wrong, I like it here. Not having all the expensive goodies (widescreen TVs, home theater surround systems...All I've got is my computer and a 4:3 LCD monitor with two speakers, before that a 13" regular TV)leaves me with an occasional lack of understanding and I must admit, a hint of jealousy, but it's still a place I enjoy visiting.
Thanks,
Nick
