Actually, RAH takes the effort to qualify his point (and it requires a few words, not "paragraphs upon paragraphs"). Qualifying phrases, adverbs and adjectives go a long way towards taking something that is needlessly exaggerated to a reasonable complaint. Anyway, I'm done with this "debate"...

It's quite simple. The source material for Patton has more resolution than BD and should look much better--the source material for 28 Days Later was deliberately shot on low resolution cameras as an aesthetic choice and looks about as good as possible on the BD. If Patton (a 38 year old movie...

I stand corrected regarding your opinion of "unwatchable" (though I appreciate the caveat of display size--something that will matter to many people, in a negative sense, as most people have what you would likely categorize as a "small monitor"). Ironically, while I was already planning to...

That is fine. It does not meet the level of quality you expect for the money spent (or at all) and you've acted accordingly. But does that make it "unwatchable" as an absolute statement? If someone has never seen Patton, would you tell them not to bother with any presentation (70mm presentations...

Only if one has so low an opinion of people as to not expect better from informed individuals (as hobbyists usually are) than from marketing departments whose "content providers" are often ignorant of the workings of the products they promote. Moreover, you're assuming I would "tolerate"...

The day I take a promise of "perfect quality" seriously, FOR ANYTHING AT ALL, is the day I will resign from society. Marketing slogans do not reflect reality as a general rule (unless the slogan is bland enough to be a truism). I fully support people's right to complain. I do not have to...

I recall the comments and have followed the thread from its inception. My point is there is a difference between "undesirable" and "unwatchable". I want the best quality I can get, of course. But if the difference is between watching a flawed copy of a film (say, Patton) and not watching it at...

It's not so much the complaints as the hyperbole that is sometimes tiresome. Comments like "unwatchable" or "butchered" or the like really deflate a lot of credibility. Same applies to lossy tracks as "unlistenable". Are they really "unwatchable" and "unlistenable"? Really? I get the...
