No, you're not a loser. Don't be so hard on yourself Gumbercules.

At least a film print can be stored long term. There is still no actual way to archive digital video.

Great thread everyone. Anything old sucks. Ha ha. I think I get it. You guys are so clever.

Agreed. DCP is the biggest reduction in image quality that the movie industry has ever taken.

Wow. Excellent point. And would these uncontacted natives prefer digital to 35mm? Maybe they would prefer 35mm to 2K, but would take 4K over any film format? Unless of course you showed them 65mm - I bet you that would blow their minds.

Film needs to remain as an option. Digital video is not a replacement. Movies that are shot and projected on film look way better than DCP.

The Walking Dead is all shot on 16mm. I think Panavision still made the cameras up until about 5 years ago (but I could be totally wrong on that).

Sounds like you went into this movie determined to hate it.

My Tarantino top 5 so far:
1. Jackie Brown
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Kill Bill 2
5. Death Proof

Hopefully celluloid is not going away entirely. Kodak is set to return to profitability in 2016 and Film Ferrania will be restarting soon.

Ah, the internet - full of unhinged angry freaks (and dumb ones at that). I'm just embarrassed for you. Take up a different topic to argue. You're out of your league on this one.

Digital does not have a greater dynamic range (and the resolution is not yet greater either). Film projection just looks very different. Colours look better, especially skin tones and blacks and whites. To me there is more depth and richness to the image. Regardless of whether or not you agree, I don't think that…

Well, I disagree. DCP will never match the quality of film so for me, digital is not progress. I simply do not understand the hatred directed at those who are trying to present a movie in the best possible quality. If you understand and support people shooting on film why criticize film projection? Sure, digital is…

I think that film is usually better than digital regardless of whether its 70MM, 35MM blowup, or just 35MM - colours are more accurate, blacks and whites look better and it has a richer, deeper look. Yes, digital is sharp, but almost too sharp. A 70MM print has much more detail than DCP but softer edges - a much more…

Christopher Nolan still uses a analog workflow with no digital intermediary - there's a very good chance that Tarantino does also.

That's a fair point, but sometimes younger people like to appreciate the formats that their elders' hastily discarded (such as vinyl).

Film is not being surpassed by digital technology. Film provides a much better image quality than even the best DCP presentations.

I disagree. Film has a look that cannot be replicated digitally. Maybe the resolution of DCP will keep increasing, but there is much more to image quality than resolution.

The others were 15/70mm IMAX prints. There were only 11 actual 70mm locations.

No it can't. In my opinion it can't even replicate 35mm.
