One Very Bad Thing About Blu-ray - Blu-ray Forum

Geofruben · 06-18-2008, 08:01 PM

The picture is so good that I could not finish watching The Bucket List. I could not stomach watching Jack Nicholson's pasty, shrivled, droopy sack of flesh in High Definition detail with wrinkle exploding detail displayed across my sanctuary of a living space.

I am going to have to rent Into the Blue again just to cleanse the mental pallat!

You couldn't finish watching the movie because it sucked. Had nothing to do with how Jack looks.

That movie has great scenery thats what you look at. The movie is really good.

Well that was brutal.

It hardly sucked, it was a pretty cool story with two legendary actors... what's not to like.

I have heard that Hollywood actress's hate the HD era. They spend even more time in the Makeup chair then ever!

Will anyone ever look good on Blu-ray?

I usually don't like these kind of "feel good" movies and I get tired of the repetitive messages and plot lines. However, this was a good flick. Jack had some great lines as well, "never trust a fart"

I can think of tons of babes I'd want to see in HD.

I would not call Morgan legendary. He has been in some awesome movies.. but even more super crappy movies. You can't be legendary with low standards. Have you seen Dreamcatcher?..

Dreamcatcher had a very nice pedigree of talent involved. It should have been one of the better Stephen King adaptions (cool book!). I would accuse Freeman of worse decisions like Evan Almighty (then again, he had a small role as God... who turns down God?).

I just want MF to put a moritorium on VOICE OVERS! At least five years. Hell... he even narrated Bucket List. Its almost as if its in his contract!

I actually went to see it with my parents on opening weekend. Just a miserable film. We walked out feeling like shit.

Personally, I don't think Jack is a great "actor." He's one of those people that essentially plays the same thing every movie. But I do agree that he is a legend.

The high quality can have its drawbacks. I had a hard time watching Rocky, just because Sylvester Stallone looked like Marge Simpson after Homer shot her with his make-up gun.

Jack used to be a great actor but has fallen in the habit in the last 15 years or so of playing only one character- himself. It's the same trap Brando fell into later in his life.
