That's pretty surprising. Do you live in the United States? The first movie was a fixture of TBS/TNT/USA programming throughout the 1990s.

I could never watch movies on cable t.v., the commercial breaks always ruined it for me. I'm gonna have to just buy the blu-ray set anyways, I want to see these films.

I'm not buying it when I see examples like this.

I don't understand how the blu-ray doesn't look better then the Canal+ H.264 screen shot. At least to me, I see a lot more detail in the blu-ray. Remember, mousing over is the blu-ray.

There is a ton of edge enhancement/smoothing going on.

I know there are cases where this is a bad thing. I've seen examples of this where it looks horrible. I guess my problem is I don't see how it's an issue for this movie specifically. I'm not really trained to tell the difference though. The blu-ray to my simple mind looks better.

The blu-ray is slicker (and in the right aspect ratio), but they blew out a lot of texture. Look at the close-up up his face in screenshot 5 - in the Canal+ one you can see eyelashes and pores and stuff. When they minimized the grain on the blu-ray, all that disappeared. He's a waxy-faced weirdo.The Canal+ version isn't amazing, but it's a much warmer, less processed image.

Okay now it's clicking with me. Thanks for the example, I see what you mean now.

Ice Age Triple Pack is the Amazon boxset deal of the week. $36.99 (breaks down to $12.33 a movie)

Just buy the first movie and save yourself some money. Once you've seen the first one, you've seen every single joke used in the next two. They should just release a blu-ray that has only the scenes with the squirrel.

Yeah, it looks classy and fits on a shelf. It doesn't make you look like a child who is also a sweaty rapist, like this does:



I'll never feel the warmth of a woman, so i'm gonna buy this.

e: I also watched Please Give yesterday and it had trailers for Animal Kingdom and Get Low, so hopefully we'll be seeing both of those on BD sooner rather than later.

Animal Kingdom is pretty good.

Alien

I really liked the improvements to the video quality and especially the sound quality. I'm just happy to be having a blu-ray version of the alien collection as Alien is one of my favorite all time movies. Aliens ranks up too.

I feel like I'm the only one legitimately excited for -all- the movies in the Alien box set.

I at least really like 3 out of the 4 movies. :)
