Is it wrong that Laserdisc has become my favorite home video format?

The Bonds are what did it. The Lowry "restorations" scrubbed the life out of the films. I love my LDs. Plus it satisfies my audiophileness to have lossless 16bit PCM instead of the crappy Dolby 128 and 192 kbp/s I was used to. It sounds phenomenal on this old mid 90's Klipsch surround rig I got from an old school closet.

And did I mention the full frame control!?!?!?!!!! Ultimate movie nerdiness!!!! No more player lockup when you try to go super advance frame by frame!!

That would have really helped with Lawrence.

I think I need Raiders next to enjoy the good old plexiglass reflection in the Well of the Souls. Or Jaws to really rock out in mono. The latest DVD was disappointing because they compressed the track so low to fit those awful 5.1 remixes.
