  1. Sooner than I expected. Of course, the cameras that are around now are not going to stop working all of a sudden but it's only a matter of time before they will become a faint memory.

    How does the resolution of current digital movie cameras compare to that of 35 mm film?

    try watching the shootout videos Zacuto have made

  2. The light source is critically important in the way the picture is made visible on the screen. The intensity of the bulb, the exact color.

    Just look at the difference of your view outside between a sunny or a cloudy day.

    As you have mentioned, the only properties a bulb can affect would be brightness and color temperature. Its up to the lens to make an image out of the light passing through it, thus influencing color rendition, contrast and sharpness

  3. A big-ass screen needs a right kind of light bulb otherwise it results in a too soft image where colors, contrast and sharpness are faded over distance. At least, that's what a electronics technician/movie fan once told me when I asked him why all the theater complexes in my neighbourhood had such bad picture quality. I believed him since I do not think those THX controlled theaters can't get away with skimping on inferior projector lenses.

    But a bulb is merely a light source. Color, contrast and sharpness of an image are properties of the lens.

  4. I also feel for George Lucas as a) Is turning into Jabba The Hut and b) He only wanted to complete his vision.

    I saw him in person just a few weeks ago. He really doesnt seem as overweight (or large) in real life. I encounter far more obese people in my average day.

    Btw, as no one has appeared to mention it yet, I would like to point out that the 'creative decision' to dial out the Force theme statement at the beginning of the Battle of Yavin has been fixed.

  5. Hmm, I thought this normally busy thread had been slack lately - I've just noticed that much of the conversations concerning movies initially mentioned here end up leaving this thread entirely and migrate to the REVIEWS sub-board - where they then become very specific to that particular movie: effectively fragmenting the community of this thread. Instead of conversational flow where people can jump in and out and read/add what they want as the mood takes them, we are left with a situation were users are likely to just ignore REVIEW threads of non-interest entirely; which is clearly self-defeating, non-productive behaviour on an online message board.

    That sub-board is a rubbish idea. Community fragmentation is always bad.

    I agree, we didn't need it before, but what can you do?

    Alex - who even wants our talks about TV series back here

    Me three

  6. it definitely wasn't as good as my friend who made me watch it made it out to be. halfway through the third episode I found out he had never seen any Romero films which probably explained his fascination with The Walking Dead's handling of zombies.

    Burga - who thought the finale was a missed opportunity to kill off all the useless characters.
