28 Days Later was shot digitally on the cheap, and IMHO is perhaps the prettiest horror movie I've ever seen. Props to the cinematographer.
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The difference in output device is really a big deal, which I did not understand until I started watching DVDs on my computer. On the TV, low-contrast comes out fine. On the monitor, dark, murky and dark.
(Unless I am doign something wrong with the monitor, but, the brightness and contrast are as high as they can go! I can only watch sunny musicals and comedies on my computer, as a result.)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Ah. I've been watching the things you mention on my TV. That might actually explain it.
ETA: My TV broke last night, during the Torchwood finale. It won't come on now. Nothing happens when I plug it in. Wah. It's quite old, though.

Torchwood was so intense it actually broke your TV set!? I wonder what it will do to bittorrent....

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It broke right at the end of the 1st part of the 2 parter. I'm going to have to BitTorrent it myself to see the rest. I still don't think my brain fully understands I HAVE NO TELEBOX.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Wow, I'd heard people joke about the hotness of the Captain Jack/real Captain Jack kissing being likely to melt TV screens, but I assumed it was just hyperbole ...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ack, can we move Torchwood spoilers to Boxed Set, or at least label them?

Am suddenly glad I didn't highlight that, heh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm watching it right now...
