Author Topic: GODFATHER and a few other BDs are wonderful! Robert Minichino Master Film Handler Posts: 350 From: Haskell, NJ, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 07-09-2009 02:40 PM                        They make 80GB and 160GB PS3s now, but they don't have all of the features the older 80GB units did (PS2 backward compatibility, memory card reader, etc.). I'm also clinging on to my original 80GB  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Granted, Blu-ray can pretty much do anything SACD or DVD Audio could do plus deliver high definition video. Still, there's a decent number of SACD titles available on the market and it seems like a stupid shame for Sony not to maintain SACD capability across the entire PS3 product line. I don't think 2 USB ports is enough for the PS3 either. All four of my PS3's USB ports are filled (2 gaming controllers, a USB keyboard and an external hard disc holding my music CD collection and hundreds of digital camera photos). It's simple to add a USB hub, but such a thing can be pretty ugly if it's sticking out of the front of the console. Hard disc size alone for the PS3 means very little. I wouldn't spend $100 extra for a 160GB model unless it had a bundled game I really wanted. PS3 owners can swap out the 40GB or 80GB hard disc and put in a 500GB HDD if they like. Just backup the system data to a thumb drive, install a new 2.5" SATA HDD and restore the software to the new hard drive.  |  IP: Logged Julie Lucero Film Handler Posts: 37 From: Valencia, California, USA Registered: Sep 2008 posted 07-13-2009 01:45 AM                     quote: Brad Miller The movie [GHOSTBUSTERS] was just poorly photographed. That's an insult to Laszlo Kovacs, ASC, the movie's late, great cinematographer.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-13-2009 03:41 AM                        Actually the movie itself should be the insult. I love the movie buy hey, let's face it... it's grain-city!  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 07-13-2009 03:53 AM                     I'm assuming Columbia weren't totally convinced the premise would turn out to be the runaway success it became. They probably bought some cheap and nasty stock thinking it would play two weeks and be forgotten.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 07-13-2009 08:24 AM                     It's usually the choice of the cinematographer on what kinds of film stocks, cameras, lenses, lights, etc. get used. Other folks, namely the producers, will just step and say "choose something less expensive" if what the DP is asking is way out of line.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

I thought I might have been in the right mood at the time and decided to give the movie another chance and rented the laserdisc when it came out and like the first time, I stopped watching it at the midway point. All of my friends had enjoyed the film very much and looked at me in a kind of strange way when I told them I did not like it. I saw GHOSTBUSTERS 2 and for some reason, I enjoyed it. -Claude  |  IP: Logged
