Movies- Film vs video

I'm kinda torn. Film to me gives a movie a more authentic look. Video looks to crisp at times and now with HD it gives strange color that I don't think adds to the overall movie.

It's almost like cd's for music. Sure you got more room to add songs but that compression sucks the ambience out of the song. Yeah vinyl is the daddy but I understand the need for portability.

Some tech is just not as good as some old stuff.

I think that if HD video were around when Hitchcock was making movies, he would have used it.

You don't hear about many people wanting to shoot in 16mm instead of 35mm...

I appreciate directors who can make the mechanics of film, or the process used, work for them in telling their story. You used to be able to get away with a lot of things with film that you can't using video - but you can fix it all in post with video a lot easier.

Lord of the Rings is a great hybrid example of a movie that uses both technologies - shot on film, transferred to HD video for post (digital grading of environments a big part of that) and then back to film. The movie looks great and was put together with care.

Crap like Transformers is just hack directed, with lots of geeks sticking lots of cool stuff on the screen so you don't care. LOTR, for the most part, used the effects to enhance the story and draw you into the characters (although there were a few scenes that were quite over the top) - for example, the Rohirrim getting ready for their charge against the Orcs at Minas Tirith.

Legolas against the Oilphaunt was just retarded.

And yeah, nothing like HD sports - when they do closeups. I find that when for example, they show the whole line of scrimmage, the sampling seems to make people look a lot fuzzier than when the camera focuses on a single person.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.

      Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
