Hello fellow LIT enthusiasts. FRT here, I felt I should say hello after viewing my newly purchased Lost In Translation Blu-Ray Disc.

It truly brought back to me a familiar feeling from my first viewing in theaters. Anyway, It's been way too long, how is everyone doing here?
P.S. Shall we schedule a blu-ray viewing of LIT soon?

How is the Blu-ray transfer? Any noticable upgrades? Any new extras on the disc relative to the DVD?

Unfortunately, no. I believe it was just a direct transfer from the dvd. Some scenes were questionable, but that might be wishful thinking.
However, the bluray menu is kind of refreshing. Not that that really matters though lol.

I bought the Blu-ray last week and have yet to watch the movie for the 50th time. I'm thinking I should upgrade my TV before the next viewing.
Can anybody else confirm that the quality is no better than the regular DVD?

I haven't watched my new LiT Blu-ray yet either, but man, why can't this great film get a serious release? If only Criterion could get their hands on it!

I believe that this may be a direct port of the hd-dvd release. I have the hd-dvd version and will pick up the blu-ray eventually. The potential for the transfer was apparently a bit limited due to the way the film was originally shot.
ForRelaxingTimes, good to see you on here again!

As far as how I'm doing, things change over the years, some better than others, but I still love this movie.

I think in my case since I'm upgrading not only the movie to Blu-ray, but the TV as well, I should see a marked improvement! Can't wait!!

I'm always happy to do a simulview although as I check the site occasionally may need a bit of advance notice! Also would need to plan around work, girlfriend etc...
