Are you sure thats not one of those older films remastered in HD or something? Its kinda trippy when they do that, seeing an old film that looks like it was filmed in the past 5 years.

Its kinda trippy when they do that, seeing an old film that looks like it was filmed in the past 5 years. there's a french bluray from 2011 that this guy might have taken this from. most of the rips im seeing are taken from tv or streaming services tho. i'm not sure why whether it was remastered or not would matter tho. it isn't like these movies looked bad(?) on original release. their prints shown in theaters would have been as pristine as the dune 2 or oppenheimer prints going around recently, just they would have damaged after hundreds of showings or just aging. which is the purpose of film restoration and HD remastering... to get them to look how they originally did. --- http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02lct2g9l1qdlvg6o1_500.gif https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1283-quality-cinema-club ...

are you suggesting talent has gotten worse? Imo acting talent has gotten better (compared to the 50s and earlier anyway) but directing talent has gotten worse. The fact that celebrities have been buying their way into cameos just screams that money is the top priority and actually putting effort into a film is an afterthought. That's to say nothing of executive meddling. Harvey Scissorhands would have had a stroke if you gave him a 4 hour Gone With the Wind. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...

They're all in the A24, NEON, Blumhouse (to some degree), etc. realm of production studios where the philosophy is high talent/concepts + low cost = huge gains & notoriety. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://media.giphy.com/media/WvQHBYW0q4TuxdAg61/giphy.gif https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 ...

You don't see screen fades or freeze frames anymore. You're lucky if you even see dolly shots. Somewhere people got this notion that certain arbitrary things are immersive and certain other arbitrary things are not. Like, having cuts at all. If freeze frames "remind the viewer they're watching a movie" why the bleep doesn't having your perspective change radically instantly every 1-5 seconds? This, of course, all hinges from the beginning on the idea that immersion is always the goal, which is also psychotic. ... Copied to Clipboard!
