Do I have to start lecturing on cinematography and film stocks again?  |

Mallrats:
I also caught several glaring examples of edge enhancement, random print scratches, surfaces that lack convincing texture, and average shadow delineation.

The Game:
Unfortunately, as I finally sat down to watch it, my excitement turned to dismay when I slowly realized that this HD DVD transfer offers only a minute upgrade over the standard DVD. With many shots, side by side comparisons left me shaking my head in disbelief -- most of the time I just couldn't tell the difference between the high and low definition versions of the film in these shots.
As picky as you are, I'm surprised you are defending titles that barely merit an improvement from standard def, or has scratch marks and contrast issues.
