I already knew that shit.

Speaking of which, know of a way to obtain the Cleo from 5 to 7 score? Been trying to get a clean copy of that opening staircase scene for years…

Not so sure about that reasoning. Kodak still manufactures two BW stocks, and into the early 2000s had at least three BW stocks. Fuji, Agfa, Foma, and Ilford all made BW stocks into the 90s. I thought that films like The General and the Coen's Man Who Wasn't There were shot on color more for vague business truisms: A…

The whole scene seems to be saying "Man, look how realistic this all is" when it is about as interesting as…
