Re: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Would love to hear what people think of the BR copy of the movie in regards to picture quality. Loved this movie though and cant wait to pick it up at some point in the future.

Bought the movie last night and I can't believe how funny it was. When the movie came out, a lot of my friends told me it was hilarious, but I never got around to go see it and I wish I did. The first hour of the movie, I was laughing my a** off.

Funniest scene has to be Russell Brand singing that song. LOL

BTW, you have to see the gag reel. Hilarious stuff on there.

Awesome line. I think that's in the Extended version only. In watching the extended version last night there were a ton of scenes that I didn't remember in the theatrical release.

Awesome movie.

Chef, imo, the picture quality was very good as was the sound quality. Imo, well worth picking up on BR.

I could have sworn that line was in there when I saw it.

I dont remember that line when I saw it either. Is there quite a bit of extra footage on the DVD/BR? Im trying to find a deal on this before I bite and buy it so I havent been able to pick it up as of yet.

Dont know then, I watched a copy on my computer so maybe it was missing that for some reason, other then that I dont have a clue.

On a side note, anyone find any good deals on this movie on BR? Would 22.00 shipped be considered a good deal?

Chef, I have my review up for the Blu-ray copy and I think the image is superb on this film. The picture quality gets much better once on the island.

Sounds good, picked it up for 22.00 shipped from Hi-Def Digest, if you check it out you can get some really good prices on some movies there.

I guess I must have got a bad version of the movie because it looked just as bad as Talladeaga Nights to me. I was extremely disappointed in the BR. I watched it on a 51" TV and the picture was way too soft and the colors did not have a vibrant look to it especially considering the Hawaii locale. Even my wife mentioned that it didn't look HuDef to her and she usually doesn't notice these kind of things. I would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the BR and the DVD in picture quailty, the BR did not have that HiDef look to it at all and lacked sharpness and I would just buy the regular DVD version if it was alot cheaper. Great movie though and alot better than that overrated crap like Knocked Up and the female stars are much less annoying than that Grey's Anatomy chick.

The sound was OK bit for comedies it doesn't really matter, the only time it impressed was the surfing scenes.

EDIT: I thought maybe something was wrong with my TV but I got the following review from DVDTalk. com which pretty much corresponds to what I saw.

"The Blu-ray:
Video:
Both the theatrical and unrated cuts are in 1.85:1 widescreen and use an AVC MPEG-4 codec, which breaks from Universal's traditional use of the VC-1 codec. Honestly, I wasn't all that impressed with how the film looks on Blu-ray. The flesh tones seem to have a little white push to them, especially on the very tan Kunis, and the image suffers from quite a bit of softness, and the exterior shots lack any real sharpness or image depth. Foreground image detail tends to be weak as well. The scene in the resort where Sarah and Rachel talk and Sarah starts to tear up a little bit, both Kunis and Bell are almost airbrushed into the background, something I don't remember noticing in the theater. While I'm assuming the picture is an upgrade over the standard definition image, it can't be largely conspicuous.
Sound:
The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack is also on the downside. Now granted, this movie is a romantic comedy, so there's not a lot to expect from it to begin with, but there are a lot of exterior shots that don't pull in all the ambience that I was hoping, directional effects are next to nothing (the club scene where Peter plays the song for the first time being the lone exception) and low end fidelity is nil as well. The dialogue sounded clear and didn't require any adjustment on the front end, and there were some moments where the character moves off screen and speaker pans helped to accompany it, but this does feel like a wasted sonic effort overall."


It's still worth getting in BD just because I don't buy regular DVD's anymore but I wouldn't pay a premium for it if you have a big TV because it's picture shortcomings are , I guess, more apparent.

Rented this up, hilarious movie. The fact that the two girls are hot as **** doesn't hurt.

Re: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Watched this today and thought it was hilarious. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Not sure why, but again, as I've said before, I don't find most comedies funny so it figures that I found this one hilarious.
