Say Anything...(1989)Comedy | Drama | Romance     Romantic comedy about a less-than-average student who falls in love with a brilliant biochemistry major. For more details about Say Anything... on Blu-ray, see the Say Anything... Blu-ray Review Say Anything... Blu-ray, Video Quality  Twenty years after its debut, Say Anything arrives on Blu-ray with an excellent 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that gets just about everything right. Catalog titles often get the rushed-out-the-door treatment, but Say Anything looks phenomenal for its age. While obviously not as sharp and defined as a contemporary release, the film displays an impressive sense of clarity, depth, and detail throughout. Check out the scene where Lloyd is talking to his sister on the pay phone—black levels are deep but allow you to make out shadow detail, the threading of Lloyd’s shirt is easily discernable, and the pounding rain in the foreground and background creates an image with real presence. Colors are strong, even in darker scenes, and having lived in the Pacific Northwest myself, the predominance of bright green comes as no surprise. The film’s thin grain structure is fully intact—there’s no DNR here—and I didn’t see any edge enhancement or technical defects. In fact, I really have few complaints. I did spot three instances when the color timing made a slight but noticeable shift—see 1:24:13, 1:27:57, and 1:28:10—but I’m sure this is source- related and not a transfer issue. Other than that, Say Anything is sourced from an exceptionally clean print and I can’t imagine the film looking much better than it does here. Say Anything... Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Cameron Crowe fans are well aware of the director’s affinity for music, and Say Anything’s DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track does that love justice, reproducing the many pop/rock songs in the film with warmth, depth, and fidelity. Bass response is strong without being overpowering and the music is enveloping, especially during the big party scene. The film’s main theme sounds great, with swelling synth pads in the surround speakers while the guitar melody cuts cleanly through the mix. Aside from the music, this is a dialogue-driven, front-heavy film, but the rear channels do occasionally offer up some ambience, like neighborhood noises, party chatter, and street sounds. Though, I was surprised that we don’t hear any rain in the rears during the massive downpour when Lloyd is at the payphone. Dialogue is a expertly prioritized and the whole track has a spacious and well-balanced mix. There’s not much here to challenge your home stereo set-up, but Say Anything sounds full and clear, and you really can’t ask for much more than that. Say Anything...
