Finally got my own HDTV... and it's coming soon

[Member-152329]

hey all!

Mike here.

anyway, I live in the basement, and have been using an old 'tube-tv for a year now. we've got a 42 inch or whatever upstairs, 1080p and all, but since I'm still living at home that tv is used by my family. Now, I have my 'very own' set

the question is...........

WHAT SHOULD I WATCH FIRST?!?!!?!?!? (after calibration, of course!)


I probably already have an idea somewhere in my head as to what movie will be first, but I'd like your guys' and girls' help in selecting it. if nothing else, it's a fun thing to think about

the rule it is that it has to be a blu-ray, and i have to already own it (though I may view a Simpsons episode on dvd before a movie on blu, but anyway.....)

rather than make you guys go through my list of what i own, i'll just post a short list here. you can take a look and select one, if you wish -- this is all for fun, so only respond if you want to


here are the choices so far:

40 Year Old Virgin

Inception

T2

Dark Knight/DKR/Batman Begins (one of them, mind you)

Shaun of the Dead

Prometheus

Scott Pilgrim

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Fincher)

South Park movie



I'm also considering Toy Story 1 or 3, an episode from my Futurama vol 5 blu or Simpsons season 13 blu, and maybe Grindhouse.

I know it's a pretty big selection, but really I just want to play something that can "help set the tone," and gear me up for less restricted things.

Personally, I'm leaning towards Virgin, because it might be a fun way to start this whole new part of my life (lmao )

anyway, hope that was all clear. looking forward to any input from you wonderful people

I would start with TDKR, Scott Pilgrim, or TGWTDT, but you have so many great choices, I don't think you can go wrong. Congrats on the tv!

I vote for DKR or Inception Enjoy your TV

[AnimalChin]

Inception or Shaun of the Dead

If you want to enjoy your new TV, watch Prometheus. I found the PQ on that one stunning, and it's one of the top ones in my collection IMO

Whatever you pick, enjoy

I would recommend either Prometheous, or TGWTDT

[Steel Panther]

Not South Park. It's barely an upgrade on blu ray if at all from the DVD. From those options, I'd say GWTDT. T2 as a close second =P

looking forward to trying it soon

Ah the excitement of a new TV. I still remember the moment I plugged in my 1080P LED, the beauty of Burton's Alice In Wonderland on the screen. Brings a smile to my face.

Anyways, for the sheer beauty show off the TV factor, I would go

1. Prometheus
2. TGWTDT
