Well worse only becuase the source was bad so its an accurate transfer, its got no problems like the Kung Fu Hustle tranfer obviously has in spades as that was taken from a brand new transfer of a brand new film.

It's the R-rated cut, so I will be giving that a miss and sticking with my DC DVD for now.

Now here’s where Sony completely dropped the ball. Despite a spiffy new cover for the BD that prominently boasts “special edition” under the title, there’s literally nothing included here in terms of bonus or supplementary material.

Me too. Stupid Warner for selling the rights to the DC

. I'd definitely buy it if it was the DC.

Coded A - like all US Fox titles. I imagine a UK release will be forthcoming though.
I seem to remember a good, though not great action movie.
Would've been better with someone other than Keanu Reeves, who's pretty bad in this.

Speed and Matrix aside, Keanu Reeves is bad in everything.

A Scanner Darkly. Good work with that blanket statement.

Reeves has his moments.
He was good in 'Speed', 'A Walk in the Clouds', and 'The Gift'.
Probably a few others...
But far too often he's a plank of wood, and in Point Break he's outclassed at every turn by Swayze and Busey.
Someone should've told him not to act like a stoned surfer dude BEFORE he's playing the undercover role.
And he was awful in The Matrix. I swear he has one facial expression throughout the entire Trilogy.

A Scanner Darkly is the worst film I have seen in many, many years, biggest piece of shit I had seen in so long it made me cry. But it was not Keanus fault thats for sure.
I am sure Brad has seen all of Keanu's films, about as likley as him getting HD quickly back in the day

A Scanner Darkly is animated you fool, it doesn't count in the sense I meant it.
Do you always have to be so condescending? It's really hard to reply to you at times. I always risk a patronising tone. No doubt you'll say I'm just being ignorant, something remarkably we all are at times, including you!

It's as likely as you saying you never read user comments or reviews, before passing comment on a film. Oh wait you do

. At least I'm happy to admit I do.
Obviously I didn't it mean literally

Brad, of course A Scanner Darkly counts as a Keanu Reeves performance :S, he acts throughout the entire film, what difference does it make if they've coloured him in? lol

Acting is more than speech, or are you saying in the case of A Scanner Darkly the producers drew the animation over the top off Keanu Reeves's acting? If so, I guess it counts.

Yes, I am saying that haha. He didn't provide his voice for the film, the whole film was filmed and then drawn over.

Honestly brad, you try and make a point about not being more ignorant than any other member on these boards, and here you are not even knowing a bleedin' rotoscoped film when you see one!

A Scanner Darkly aside, trust fucking Bradavon to write off an entire industry of talented actors. Get a fucking clue. Of course excellent acting, emotion and all, can be conveyed in speech alone.

Huh?
I was having a go "at Eva" for constantly calling me ignorant, that's quite different.

You maybe talking about an entire industry, everyone else was talking about Keanu Reeves

Ah, you can't weasel your way out of this one.
bradavon wrote:Acting is more than speech
That is one fucking insulting generalisation and it's completely wrong. The emotion instilled by actors such as Jennifer Hale or Grey DeLisle into their performances and the sheer range that they possess is more than enough proof that you have no fucking clue. Do some homework and think long and hard before making such pigshit ignorant statements in future.

Hale and Delisle aren't actors, they're dubbing artists.
An actor is someone who can deliver a performance without saying anything. Think Anthony Hopkins.
Speech is only 50% of the acting.
When you watch a dubbed film, you're still getting half a performance.

Exactly. It's a "fucking insulting generalisation" to think acting and voice dubbing are the same thing.
