Bradley Cooper continues to be as punchable as ever.The Blu-ray really helps to highlight the difference between Bradly Cooper's character when he is on ZNT and when he isn't. The colours and image "pop" whereas when he is "normal" it is very drab and depressing.

      Bradley Cooper is the embodiment of smugness.

          Is this not the thread to discuss Blu-ray releases any more? Wondered if anyone here knew if the new Criterion Blu-ray release of The Lady Vanishes is region locked or not.

            Locked to region A. All Criterion releases are region A locked.

              I bought Frozen Planet for my dad for christmas and I just noticed it says on the box it's 1080i. Is it really? Why would they do that? I'm used to BBC's documentaries like Planet Earth and Life setting the bar really high in terms of quality...

                I think most HD stuff on Freeview, Sky, cable etc is broadcast in 1080i.

                  Half of planet earth isn't even 720p natively I think - they just upscaled it for the blu ray and if I remember correctly it is quite easy to tell which bits!

                    Oh, that sucks then. I thought it was in the same vein as Life and Planet Earth. Oh well, not like my dad will see the difference.

                          1080i doesn't equal bad.

                          The reason it's 1080i is probably because A) Europe decided to stick with 50hz for HDTV (bad decision IMHO) and B) there is no 50hz-compatible 1080p mode on Blu-ray.

                          I don't know how that show was produced, but I'd guess most of it will be shot at 25fps using film-like motion. Some BD players (or TVs) will know what to do with this and will be able to pull full resolution 1080p video out of the 1080i signal. Others will show small deinterlacing artefacts.

                          I'm sure it'll look great... again, 1080i doesn't = bad. (Although it's certainly not how I'd have done it had it been my decision).
