Another gallery of captures from Blu-ray discs, strictly for entertainment purposes.  Please only look at these caps as a very vague indication of what the actual image quality is, which obviously will look a lot better on your calibrated 1080p TV set/monitor/display.  HD screencaps look quite different from site to site, monitor to monitor; differences in color, contrast, darkness levels always vary.  Nor is this a review site, simply because I'm pretty bad at spotting meddling, or at least the different versions of this (EE, DNR, grain removal -- there's a ton of grain removal processes, blocking, halos, mosquio noise, ringing, posterization, banding, jaggies, etc.)  All that being said: enjoy, hopefully this site will offer a look at some titles not found elsewhere.  These images may have minor spoilers and R-rated content.  Some shots are slightly "in motion" for any number of reasons.  Lastly, a lot of people have asked, so I'll cheat and let someone else explain, but here's the answer to "Why JPEG?"
