My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

I agree with Hi-Def...Very over rated.
VHS to DVD was a sizable leap in definition, and quality. VHS had been around since the late 1970's and it was about time there was a decent upgrade (as opposed to the half arsed measures of Video CD and the doomed Phillips CD-i format).
I have compared a Blu-Ray player to a standard DVD player/recorder on playback and there are tangible differences in definition. But, not enough to shout it from the top of your rooftop.
In fact, a Blu-Ray disc has too many silly menu's and is too anally retentive. I feel that it's all picture quality and disc content over substance.
The worst culprit was "Aeon Flux". There were loads of daft closeups to show off the hi-definition playback that got in the way of the film. Blu-Ray discs just become a "detail fest" that distract from the enjoyment of the film.
And this is from someone that has the latest eletronical shiny whatever, and not someone that is a Luddite. Believe it or not...
