Some people said they didn't notice much of a difference from DVD to VHS, so to each his own. The average person just doesn't care either way, but eventually adopts whatever one else is doing, and then swears they could never go back.
300 is not the best movie to watch, but even in 1080i I noticed a big difference from the standard DVD. My eyes are pretty trained to notice it though.
The best looking discs I have seen are Ratatouille, Spider-Man 3, Blade Runner, and the Pirates of the Carribean movies.
The next two movies I am getting are Across the Universe and No Country for Old Men, both of which are supposed to have phenomenal picture quality.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
