Does your comment mean that you have watched it on blu-ray? If that is your own conclusion, that's fine. I wouldn't believe everything that you read, even from so called experts. I seriously doubt that Moon in the Gutter will ever look much better than it does on blu-ray. If you have the Cinema Libre region 1 standard dvd, then that should be good enough. If you are looking for a pristine video version, then it doesn't exist for this film.
There are many ways to address your problem even with your $750 budget. It will all depend upon just how critical you are and if you get into the upgrade-itis mode. Myself, I started with a home theater is a box system and eventually ended up replacing it multiple times when I began to realize the deficiencies of such a system. But you have to start somewhere and no matter what you read no one can point out a full proof path that is not subject to upgrade. It is a...
Sorry, no, I am not set up to do that from a blu-ray.
I have three versions of this film on dvd. The first one was out of Japan and is a region 2 that looks noticeably sharper, but has a very digital look and is not at all natural, color-wise. The second one is the Cinema Libre region 1 dvd that looks more like film with more appropriate colors and in comparison is a lot more natural, film-wise, having an appropriate desaturated look that one would find at the local theater. The third one is the Cinema Libre region A...
No question about that. Besides "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" title implies something a lot more sexy. And everyone knows that sex sells.
Yes, I know that. That might have given everything away, in hindsight.
What is the title of the film? It is pretty noticeable in the Swedish version when it comes up on screen, must less so in the remake.
I would agree. The Fincher version was not compelling, for me, to watch and I would chalk this one up as a well made film that looks fantastic on screen, but something happened with the screen play and possibly the editing. My feeling is that there is more an emphasis on the Daniel Craig character than Lisabeth and that didn't help the film. Then there is the tattoo which I thought looked a lot better in the Swedish version, extended or not. The Fincher version is...
It means 3 speakers: left front, center, and right front. Unbelievably the trailer on the BR is in 5.1 audio and there is a huge difference between that and 3.0 - too bad, because the 5.1 Dolby Digital audio gives a lot more ambiance with the additional LFE (the .1) and surround sound encoding. As to video quality, it is OK, but seems to fall short of what I saw at the theater: mostly the night street scenes. But my memory maybe faulty.
