Re: £7.99 HMV Exclusives

Avoid the Switchblade Romance blu ray. It's sorely lacking in HD picture quality and there are no extras ported over from the sd-dvd. A real let down.

Thanks, tis a damn fine film

People have mentioned 1080i and I don't know how they know that (technically) and would like to know. Some reviewers mention it and some don't. I discount DVDBeaver slightly as I think he sometimes smokes crack-cocaine wrapped in old Criterion DVD sleeves. I'd really like to know how the figure it's i and not p (and I don't want 2nd hand rumoured to be info -tell me how I can do it on my setup (PC and standalone). Those Bluray grabs look beautiful.

Re: £7.99 HMV Exclusives

It makes me laugh the way everyone now talks about 1080i like it's a dirty word.

A 1080i transfer is excellent and unless it's on a huge projected screen (and you're looking for it) you won't even notice the difference.

A basic idea of how they differ.

Re: £7.99 HMV Exclusives

I think a better example is:

www.thx.com/interlaced

That's certainly a massive difference and I will be writing to my MP. And I might just add that I checked my MP's expenses online -I'm not suggesting anything untoward- and he claimed £145 for toilet roll for the year.

That's one helluva lot of sh**.

IMO, 2 of the best films from the past few years or so. for both of 'em.

This Is England is also a great little film.
