Yet they do not move to Amish country. It is the same with digital film vs 35mm.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16982441978318610821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119893162712599171.post-86159752470558698802014-01-18T09:35:33.503-08:002014-01-18T09:35:33.503-08:00It's true.

But the fact remains that only during a handful of brief moments in the presentation am I reminded of that fact, and this happens less and less frequently as the technology improves.<br /><br />Meanwhile, unless people live in NYC, LA, or maybe a handful of other places (SF, Boston, Chicago), the only *film* prints they've ever seen have been pretty beat up by the time they got to their local theaters.<br /><br />I may see a shot here and there on screen now that remind me I'm watching digital. But it's been quite some time since I've seen scratches, breaks, burnt frames, spliced frames, reels out of order, frame lines across the center of the screen... <br /><br />Yes, I'm old. Yes, I'm nostalgic for the technology I grew up on (that video you link to at the end is great).<br /><br />But when I plunk down $20+ for my wife and I to go the theater, I have to reluctantly admit, I'll take the best technology you have to offer, thank you.Ken Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352088132228110064noreply@blogger.com
