The Ides of March

PG, is bluray that much of a difference? Have such a collection of films that I haven't wanted to switch. Thankfully now you can buy a DVD player that accommodates both, but is there a diff?
Still waiting to watch IOM a second time, maybe tomorrow, or I just might wait till I'am all alone, then won't have to share.

all the explanations with George and Grant


io non ho il bluray
no bluray here





Could listen to George all day (and night). He could read me the phonebook and I'd be completely happy. What a voice. Love it!

I know, Patty

Blu ray is excellent for films with action or special effects,
as in Iron Man, A Team, Avatar & Mission Impossible films.
Some films now come with 3 discs, blu ray, dvd for players and another disc
for use in pc's !
I have all the recent Clooney films in blu ray and there is a difference in the quality when viewed in HD on TV.

lucy, honestly can't tell too much difference between BR and DVD as I don't have an HDTV. However, I've found that the BR versions seem to have additional content that is lacking in DVD recordings now. They used to include a 2nd disc sometimes with those extras when movie ran long. Now if you buy DVD version, all you get is the movie.
I enjoy those extras.
They do sell the combo-packs, but cost a bit more.
With BR, you sometimes get a code so that you can download to your computer. Sony Pics does that. Downloaded IOM to my laptop.

OK, I'm way behind the times, but I watched IOM tonight. LOVED it!!! Mr. Desplat's score was great. George's directing was WOW. Ryan was outstanding. Loved the intensity between George and Ryan in the kitchen. Blew me away!

George's directing was WOW.

ABSOLUTELY

dunno but.... maybe that it's right what I was expecting
no surprise at all

Finally saw Ides of March yesterday, amazing!!! What a great film. George is so talented in so many ways. Loved his directing.

Have we seen these before?

Yes, but great to see them again! Thanks Katie!
