But he asks a shallow question

"As one friend of mine put it, in our newest and best technology, why should we have to go in and adjust settings to make a movie look more like a movie?"

Because TVs (esp. plasmas and LCDs) come adjusted to make video shows look sharper than they even are... not to mention color temperature issues and gamma. The fault, dear author, lies not in Blu-ray technology, rather in our sets.

Both films mentioned look grand on my 8ft projection screen, nor do I especially notice any warts.
