Planet Earth

I know they've been advertising the shit out of this documentary-mini-series but if you're watching TV Sunday night make sure to watch this on Discovery Channel at 8pm EST. I have the original BBC broadcast version of this in HD and caught some of the scenes already and it is absolutely amazing. You might think, WTF a lame ass nature documentary but seriously, some of the scenes are better (as in wow) than the CGI crap you see in modern films.

It might also convince some of you to care more for the environment...

Yup. Seen the commercials on DSC for it. It looks kick ass. Definitely look forward to it. Since I don't have DSC HD, I'll wait for the torrent to come out wink

can someone record and burn it to a dvd for me?

HOLY SHIT!

That seriously looks unreal. Also seems as if it's been shot to appear like a movie.

The BBC really do excel in documentary making. It's just a shame that whenever they (Walking With Dinosaurs, The Blue Planet, Planet Earth etc) come over here, they don't get as much credit or recognition as the channels sponsors do. (

My guess is they get a hefty royalty for not recieving credit.

Loooks SWEET. I saw the previews at the theater the other day. Better set up the DVR to record it.

I already have the DVR set to record it in HD... I've had it set since Wednesday.. I am able to watch one or two parts On Demand (comcast ftw), but I ended up watchign some other docu's yesterday since I wanted to watch them all at once... This is gonna take up like half the space on my DVR, but itll be worth it!

Yeah, I didn't even know it was BBC until I went about grabbing it. David Attenborough narrated the original BBC version, but for the US version, they had Signourey Weaver do it shrug.

Chex, you should be able to grab it online as it gets broadcast.

Yeah I was hoping they'd keep Attenborough's narration. He's probably the most respected and recognisable naturalists in the world.

I'm plumping for the BBC version over this, but either way, it'll still kickass.

Incredible show, two words, vampire squid.

Looks like a good show, I will have to catch it next time.

lol agreed. oh, and you get +Karma for recognizing how awesome that was. )

Yeah, I watched it last night and it was awesome! Ever since I started watching things in HD, that is always the first place I look as far as for something to watch on TV. HD spoiled me so I usually end up watching Discovery HD or any exhibition game.

Yeah, Blue Planet is wicked-ass. I've watched it so many times.
