innocent_lexJust watched Star Trek on buray. I didn't mean to, was just going to see how the quality compared to the DVD I already had, and ended up watching the film. The detail is stunning, and I can see why people get incredibly good tellies to watch it on. But so far I have a grand total of 3 bluray discs, and since I can do much less with them than I can with DVD I'm sticking with mainly DVD purchases for the time being. My DVDs still look damn good upscaled on the HD telly.
The trouble with Star Trek, though, is it's yet another film about blokes. While I was travelling back and forth on my long plane journeys for the hols, there were a shedload of films to pick from, and out of four flights all over 10 hours I watched one film: Whip It. It's about women's roller derby (not something I knew of before) and was an absolute pleasure to watch. None of the other films were about women in a way that means I'll watch, i.e. they were all "romcoms" meaning neither romantic nor even slightly amusing. And this kind of thing is so ubiquitous that most people don't even seem to notice.
