Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I seriously think the Avengers DVD is going to push me to buy a BluRay player.

The Dark Knight wasn't what made me buy a Blu Ray player, but it was what made me stop buying DVDs. I knew I needed that in as much glowing detail as possible, so there was no point getting it in DVD, and then there was no point getting anything else...it was a surprisingly long no-movie-buying gap for me, but i like to think I've bounced back admirably.

And the gap between the first SPN I got in Blu Ray and wrapping up the series to date? I think speaks very well to my good sense. They were all at discount and everything.

That having been said...I can't lie to you Amy, I really can't.

But you know what may be the most improved at this resolution?

The Impala. God, she's glossy...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita hasn't turned the dejuttering off her massive television, which makes everything look like I Claudius.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's dejuttering? What does I Claudius look like?

Because books.

I don't know! It's the motion smoothing thing that modern TVs do that make television look absurdly bright and fake-y. Like [link]

Dejittering, maybe? We use that term to describe taking the jiggling (jitteriness) out of images due to spacecraft motion.

Ah, wait, google. Dejuddering. Similar concept.

Judder, yes. Also apparently some people call it the "soap opera effect", quick googling indicates.

Holy, Christ, THAT'S what happened when we watched Thor on vacation! We watched it on the huge TV in the master bedroom, and it looked totally different than it normally does, and the only way I could describe it was to say it looked like the way a soap opera was filmed.

Oh, I hate that look.
