I've heard nothing but good shit about Iron Mans quality... And then even more good shit about Dark Knight. Dark Knight is THE standard.

Dark Knight? It was fine, good film. I'm hoping the BluRay/DVD has a few extra scenes that make the plot hold together a bit better, because it jumped around a little too much for ne at the cinema.

I've never understood buying movies.... I mean, how many time can you watch the same film? Why not get a sub to something like Netflicks and if you want to see something again, have them send it to you. At least with Netflicks you can watch thousands of other movies as well. Otherwise, you end up with a movie that sits on a shelf somewhere and might be watched two more times.

from what i read on the slickdeals forum sigorny weaver does a really good job too...though i'd rather have attenborough ("do you guys even know who he is?!?!??!?").
a big blow is that from what i read, the US versin has like 8 minutes cut from each episode to make time for commercials or some shit.

It better be, I've seen most of it on Discovery HD Theater. I expect the blu-ray version to be at least as good since I know cable providers often re-encode HD for transmission in order to limit bandwidth.
I've got it coming for x-mas, the real Attenborough ("do you guys even know who he is?!?!??!?") version.

I guess that's my gripe. Why does part of this movie have an amazing transfer and part only marginal? It is almost like they didn't film the "regular" parts of the movie in high-def. Then they switch to the IMAX sequences and BAM! the quality is just amazing.
I guess I'll just have to wait for x-mas to open BoB and Planet Earth. Those should look incredible.
edit: and Gyllenhaal is a troll compared to Katie Holmes, at least from the neck up.
it sucks that it's that way for some films, i agree. i always wait for a couple of BR reviews before i spend on any movie although i also bought The Dark Knight regardless of the transfer issue.

Yeah. Modern Hi-Def and digital sound suck when compared to VHS and taped music.

I'm also surprised that you don't know the difference between by and buy.
