Being the Luddites that we are, we’ve never even seen a Blu-Ray player, let alone actually used one. So we have no idea how, exactly, the high-def whojimawhatsits effects the experience of watching movie nudity. But Mr. Skin does.
And in this week’s New Yorker (yes, The New Yorker), he’s willing to dish. Apparently, there’s many a nudie classic that’s been revealed to, ahem, reveal even more once it’s been upgraded to HD. Where once there was but a dark shadow, now we’re presented with bush (or at least more boobage). Where…no, actually, that’s pretty much the end of the story. We’re on the fence as to whether this is more an ad for the flagging Blu-Ray industry or for Mr. Skin himself (who makes the technical upgrade so you don’t have to)—but in the meantime, we’re just going to stick with our SD movies, and see if we can’t unlock this secret nudity by squinting really, really hard.
