 Call me crazy, but I find HD exciting because I am a cinematography nut. I love great-looking shots in a movie but between the crappy McDonald's standard of projection in most cinemas these days and the various flaws* on all the previous formats I've never really been able to enjoy the film the way I know I ought to be able to, so getting a chance to enjoy them at closer to master-level quality is very exciting to me. As I said, we have those crummy MegaCinemas with 16 year old projectionists more worried about hitting on co-workers than running a movie correctly, so even first run in the cinema can't compare to an HD disc. Well, sorry, we have one cinema that works hard, but last time I went there my car was stolen  *even if you find a good VHS or Beta tape or Laser Disc it's rare to find them in the original aspect ratio, and DVD suffers from ancient, inefficient, excessively lossy compression (including the audio), in addition to a basic lack of capacity.

Cpt. Beaky, salute!
 Absolutely agree. The sad part, as mentioned, is that Kodak and Fuji 35mm film stocks are better than ever before and camera lenses are reaching a pinnacle of perfection, and meanwhile the projection standards keep going to hell. With all the compression even in HD broadcasts (which depend mightily on the routing through god knows how much cable system hardware) and the artifacts visible in both this and in many regular DVDs, bring on BluRay discs. To so many who say 'an old film won't benefit from HiDef': have you ever seen a good 35mm print of a classic B/W film? It blows away just about everything in terms of resolution. There is plenty to be gained with BluRay. Best, Claus.
