Been watching Babylon 5 which is a really damn good sci-fi show. Better than any Star Trek easily. Did you steal forpers troll crown or something?

![Image](https://www.lddb.com/cover/ld/27001-27100/27061.jpg) Missed the broadcast this year (surprised that it was even shown on TV again!) Not the best Peanuts special, but still enjoyable.

Just picked up the newly released Nemesis Bluray yesterday. It comes with 3 versions of the film. The theatrical cut is on Blu-ray and in 1080p. Audio is lpcm 2.0. This disc holds both 1.78:1 version and 2.35:1 version of the theatrical cut. They appear to be different masters. 2.35:1 version is granier and less processed. The other two cuts are on the provided dvd. They are in 480i. These versions are directors cut and japanese cut. Directors cut is in 1.78:1 and the japanese cut is in 1.33:1 with japanese subs burned in the image. The japanese cut is a big suspect they used the japanese ld as the master ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Last night I saw the Truman Show for the first time in my life. What can I say: it is perfect. I haven't seen a film in a long time that touched me in this way. There is not a single bad thing I could say about this film: terrific performances by Jim Carrey, Ed Harris, Noah Emmerich was fantastic, so was Truman's wife and Natascha McElhone, it has humour, it is very emotional, it has a great score... I watched it on Netflix trough my PS4. I was very pleased with the sound quality. I thought the entire film sounded and looked excellent. I have seen a lot of decent films in the last couple of years but this without a doubt is one of the best films I have seen in the last couple of years. I am sick and tired of pretentious films such as Interstellar that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. No, the Truman Film is a film with a soul, it makes you think on so many different levels. I especially enjoyed Ed Harris' dialogue towards the end and I loved the ending. They could have shown how Truman got back together with Sylvia, etc., but that wasn't really necessary. Wow, I am speechless.
Btw, the ratio of the laserdisc 1,66:1 is the original ratio ! Only the original US DVD has this ratio, too.
=> from imdb: Director Peter Weir filmed in the 1.66:1 ratio to make it feel more like a television show.

gypsy wrote: Jim isn't a bad actor but I get your point. The Truman show is really good, and I haven't seen it in about 10+ years, I should remedy that. As a bonus, the BD appears to be quite cheap. Yes but it has the wrong aspect ratio ! Only the laserdisc and the first US release have the correct aspect ratio. If I like a particular film very much I usually try to get several versions of it and buy its soundtrack on vinyl, tape or CD, too. After getting the US DVD I am sure I will get the US laserdisc, too, as well as the soundtrack. They are all dirt cheap. I agree, Jim Carrey is not my favourite actor, either, but he was perfect for this film. I would like to see 23, too, one day. Man on the Moon was excellent, too. He was perfect for this, too. But his other films such as The Mask or Ace Venture are not entertaining at all in my view.

When you click more info on aspect ration on imdb it says: Aspect Ratio 1.85 : 1 (theatrical ratio) 1.66 : 1 (intended ratio) Also under trivia it says: Director Peter Weir filmed in the 1.66:1 ratio to make it feel more like a television show. Only the original DVD is in this aspect ratio. The theatrical cut was cropped to 1.85:1 and the Blu-ray release to 1.78:1. 99 of 108 found this interesting | Share this But from what I see above the director wanted 1.66, I don't own it and did see it at the theater, so I guess I'll have to pickup a copy of something early at 1.66 ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
