All that said, I reckon he did a superb job of Aubrey: having read so many of the books, I felt he *was* that character. Great film, and wonderful sound.

I'd say Snatch was the cleanest Doesn't this belong in the "what are you dreaming of tonight" thread?

Depends on which one you are talking about, I guess! 
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

In fact, they shot it in 9x16 ratio to accommodate the chip on his shoulder. You need to turn your TV on its side.
That’s going to leave a mark.
You can skip his dialog scenes and skip straight to the action.
Hear, hear! Or at least skip the whole side story of the doctor. I think the “Hornblower” TV series is pretty good if you want something in this genre.

Ok, consider me convinced, order just placed with Amazon - should be here by the weekend. I've seen the SD version, looking forward to hearing the changes on Blu-Ray.

I just noticed that Amazon has “The Band of Brothers” available for BR pre order. That series had some pretty intense audio on DVD. I bet the BR version will be right up there with the best of them. Plus, it’s probably the most realistic combat related show I’ve ever watched.

Of course, if you want to give your subwoofer a work out, you can always watch War of the Worlds. As an added benefit, after watching a little of Tom Cruise, it's much easier to stomach Russell Crowe

I'm at something of as loss as to why anyone would voluntarily watch either one of them.
I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!

I'd watch Crowe before Cruise, that's for sure.
Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

Rainman.
He may be a wackjob, but he can act if given the right script.
I really don't much care what kind of ego etc. any given actor has. I'm not trying to be best buds with everyone I watch on screen.
