tromprof Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I got the new-ish Criterion Collection of the Qatsi trilogy for Christmas on blu-ray, watched Koyaanisqatsi last night on the 120" screen in the basement. I have had a standard dvd for years but the difference in image quality and sound is huge. The visuals took me back to the first time I saw it at the theater when the film first came out, simply stunning. The Philip Glass score sounds much improved as well, even better than the DVD-A from a few years ago. Looking forward to watching the next two before life resumes next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Eh veiny can be had without steroids. Yeah, you look so much like Wolverine that I expect claws to pop out. I've been told that a telltale sign of steroid use is a big fat hose on your bicep so that raised an eyebrow. It wasn't so much the big ones though as all the little ones that showed up everywhere. I always thought it was due to low bodyfat. I used to swim in open water for triathlons so I had pretty big and really cut shoulders but I never had veins like that even though I had 6-pack abs. Bruce Lee got down to 3% bodyfat for some movies and he didn't have veins like that even though you could see each individual muscle in his shoulders. So, I don't know what the difference is.

Scrappydue Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think each person is so different. I think a ton of what anyone's physique looks like can be pointed towards having good jeans. I use to hang out with this lady that installed garage doors for a living. She was very manly like vs lady like. She wasn't huge or anything. Very skinny tall thing. She has the most ridiculous veins I have ever seen in my life. And then I used to work out with dudes that were 5'7" and 230lb monsters. And they had zero veins. Just huge balloon muscles. And with being in the military none of us ever took steroids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Maze Runner: This film is a little different and enjoyable. Good LFE and excellent use of the surround format. It must be based on a book since there will most likely be a second film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 To be fair, Hugh Jackman was sculpted like a Greek god. I mean I'm not a girly man or anything, but my goodness, veins sticking out of his shoulders and whatnot, surely he had a body double. Otherwise he must eat steroids for breakfast and pure testosterone for dinner. It is reported that he worked out long and hard for that film. Not bad for an old man at 45.

Paducah Home Theater Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Hit and Run. Just now. Wow what a fun movie. Corvette vs. Cadillac race scenes, desert racer buggy action, psychological mind-screws, eye candy aka. KRISTEN BELL, Bradley Cooper got prison raped, best movie I have seen in awhile. I had a grin pretty much the entire time. Edited January 4, 2015 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The equalizer! Man if your a Denzel fan he does it again. He is such a bad ***. Good rental but I wouldn't hesitate to buy either. Lot of good action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic_surfer Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) November Man: An Excellent rental Guardians of The Galaxy: A good rental Opinions abound, but I saw guardians in theatre and I had to have it. It is one of the least serious/funny marvel movies to date, and fairly true to the source. Only when Deadpool releases will it be topped. I am also a huge Anima fan and own quite a bit of anime, anime movies I have only seen a few of, but one of my all time favorites was princess mononoke. I did see spirited away and it was pretty good, never saw ponyo, and laputa castle in the sky was fairly good as well. Next on my list is to get this attack on titan I hear so much about. That and Rozen Maiden... (must aquire all geneon released titles). Edited January 4, 2015 by Cosmic_surfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paducah Home Theater Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Who else noticed the (supposed) Bible verse on Nick Fury's tomb stone on Captain America: The Winter Soldier? That was the best part of the movie. Edited January 5, 2015 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Watched all the X-Men movies on BD this weekend with my son. Also watched The Guardians again and I think it has one of the best sound set ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The music tracks sound great on that movie. I guess that is what SACD sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, I saw PG perform that sound track live with the movie in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 My wife and I enjoyed this set over the holiday's, it is all 7 movies on 3 discs, with NO extras. It is $18 on Amazon and well worth it, if you like the genre. Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL My wife likes "horror" movies. Me, not as much. So we thought the "Suspense" genre would be likeable by us both. It was. ....and let me be clear, this was not a Christmas eve type of movie. I had 13 days off and "enjoyed them over the holiday". It was a bargain and well worth the $18, any time of year. LOL Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
