Lucas is the biggest menace of all! The worst part is he's brainwashing
contemporary directors (like SUPERMAN RETURNS' Brian Singer) into using
digital when film still beats it to death. My film instructor said on
Wednesday (and he's an experienced filmmaker, not just a PhD theorist) that
comparatively film is 4000 lines of resolution or so and even HD is only a
tenth of that (or so), when blown up on the big screen. I thought the blacks
in SUPER were pretty bad and the SFX definitely flat (especially the
washed-out "Kryptonian crystal island" segments). I just bought a new TV and
still marvel at how crappy television shows look (with a few exceptions) as
compared to features on DVD. And people still rent videos!
