***STRICTLY HDTV programming alerts***

[OTTo VoN BLoTTo]

Can't remember if this has been done before, but thought it'd be cool to have a thread where we can alert one another as to strictly HD (and kick-ass) upcoming movies, documentaries, concerts, etc. If you've seen something that blew you away in HiDef before and is coming up again, or notice something that looks great in previews, please give us a heads-up by posting it here. Times and dates--or at least channels--would help us find it, and either watch or set the TiVo or DVR.

I'll start with a movie I watched last night on MOJO--maybe one of the coolest cop flicks ever made:




BULLITT: Playing again on MOJO, Sunday, May 4, (9-11am HAWAI'I TIME, so check your local programming)


I've seen it before in standard def., but the HD transfer was ABSOLUTELY ****ING INCREDIBLE. I mean, It was a completely different experience. The colors really popped, and the car-chase scene on the steep-sloping streets of S.F. where the camera was filming through windshield like you're the passenger was SOOO frickin cool. If you dig this movie or the cop/action genre you NEED to check this out in HD.

Just a side note, I've been playing with the "Surround headphones" setting on my Pioneer receiver with late night movies (so as to not stir the mrs.) and this ROCKED. Surround phones FTW!!

DOH! Fixed. Thanks for catching that... and for the Amadeus heads-up. We just watched the standard DVD recently, but I'll take a look at the HD version for sure.
