Need to settle an argument

[TonyDanzaRulz]

I currently do not own and hdtv but I still buy blu-rays every chance I get, so that when I do upgrade I will be prepared, I live with someone who has a Sharp 1080p 46" LCD HDTV, that plays the blu's at 1080p, 24hz, at least that what it says, Well the argument is, this kids friend was telling me that blu-ray is for people who dont know what they are talking about, he says it doesnt look any different froma remastered dvd, or upconverted dvd's, he says a DVD and Blu-ray have the same "visual" movie on them just the blu holds more data, He says that the way movies are shot 35mm, or I think he said 75mm film is the reason for the DVD and the BLU looking the same, Im sorry if this doesnt make sense, but I need some EXPERT input i know a good amount but not the technical aspects of everything, any help would be grealty appreciated, thanks
