Having had a full weekend to try out our new blu ray system, I can honestly say that its the best thing I have ever seen via a TV....Except perhaps for the moon landing in 1969, when I was two! I can vividly remember sitting on a rug in front of the TV looking up at these strange fellows in weird suits, convinced they were actually behind the telly!! hehehehe.....Ok, back to the blu ray thingy...
Derek was the first to try it out on Friday evening with "Yellow stone" the story of Yellow stone park in the states. I simply let him get on with it as I was in the middle of watching "Planet of the Daleks" with Jon Pertwee. I am watching an episode each night at about 9pm after my bath. When it had finished I gave mum my usual nightly phone call, and just then Derek came upstairs and said "You realy have to see this!!"....while still on the phone, I came down stairs and WOW!!!!!!! it was just like watching 3D! minus the silly glasses and the head-ache!!! The picture was so crystal clear, I felt lik e I could reach into it and grab somthing!! On the phone I could hardly speak as mum asked me what it was like, but I did promise her that Saturday (her birthday) she was to come around and have lunch and see it for herself. Previously I had bought "The red shoes" Moira Shearer film, one of mine and mums favorites and I put that on for her. It was rather funny as she and Sirius were sat on the couch, both of them *glued* to the TV. Needless to say it got a huge seal of approval from mum!!!!!! Next up was the full series of Planet Earth, which both Derek and I have been glued to, and on Saturday night we watched one of my all time favorite films "Poltergiest!" and although I must have seen this film well over 100 times, and could practically recite all the script (much to Dereks annoyance) there were certain parts of the film I had never even noticed before!!! In blue ray EVERYTHING is so very clear...I had never even realised the number of the house in Poltergiest before!!! Weirdly its 4267!!! My current age and year of birth!! and some bits of the film actually made me jump!!! But that was a combination of the blu ray and the explosive home cinema sound!!
Opps.......must dash!!
Derek has just reminded me we are going out for lunch, and then for a drive in the country, to take Sirius walking!
Hope to see ya soon!!
