* I was in a relaxing mood, and wanted to go back in time,
and from the British side (before James B00nd, dolby 07).
By "James B00nd, dolby 07" do you mean "James Bond, double o 7," Bob?
* Did you watch a film last night (on Blu or DVD), and what was it? *

* Direxted by Federico Fellini (1963). ...And on Blu of course, like always (99.99%). :b
+> And you can click on the picture cover art for more info if you want to.
I think tha it was Fellini who pissed off the proleteriat when he said in a speech that he identified not with the radical students, who were middle class, but with the Carabinieri (the police), as they were working class (mostly from the south).
Yeah, that's what I meant Mike: James B0und, agent d0lby 007 :b
* I'm not big on politics Mike.
...I look at Fellini as the artist, the Master cineaste with his own vision.
...On the canvas, the screen.
Politics is what makes people losing touch with the real world.
Just my personal touch, my own sense of humor (sometimes misunderstood, other times wrongfully interpreted).
I try to never take life too seriously, and I breathe much better in doing so.

I do have other friends though who don't laugh much, and are more the serious type.
My exchanges with them are more superficial, ephemere, and unilateral.
And most of them are audiophiles if you can believe it. We trade music records.
Others are great musicians, artists of all venues; with them I learn and share (I advance).
Others are nature lovers; great for going for walks and goin' fishin'. :b
Then there are the ones who are into sports and all type of physical activities; I'm good at these.

Cowboys and Aliens
I had very low expectations given the premise but the kids enjoyed it so I guess it got the job done. I couldn't help but wish they had left aliens out of it. Craig and Ford are always good and so was the rest of the supporting cast. I would've loved to see the ensemble in a straight up western sans the District 9 Prawn knock-offs.

I liked it, but I like anything with enough orange and blue exploding fireballs. The only real garbonzos, though, were those of "13" from the tv program "House", and they were alien.

And on Blu-ray it is the very best it has to offer.

We watched a few episodes of BBC's Frozen Planet:
The original planet earth literally launched the HD formats and was by far the best selling title, beating many action movies. The novelty has worn off some this time around. Still, there are startling scenes just when you don't expect them.
We watched it on our small screen so not many comments on picture quality. Noticed some banding right at the beginning and the picture is somewhat variable due to many different media being used to shoot them.
I like that occasionally they show the producers and cameraman. Remarkable scene for me was them setting up for time lapse photography under water. They set up tripods just like you would on land. Can't imaging leave so much expensive gear down there to shoot these images.
$34 on sale is good chunk of change for HD titles but this one is worth it. You learn some amazing facts from time to time. My wife and I both enjoyed them.

Amir, $34 is a good deal for documentaries of that caliber, like this one above,
plus it's a 3-disc set. :b

Bob,
I thnk that you mean 'Paris, Texas'. I may be wrong, however.
I didn't realize he directed the 'Buena Vista Social Club.' Thanks for the education!
