Re-reading the flow of conversation with crumbsroom, I will say, I'll stake out a different position. As TVs support higher resolutions, it isn't surprising that there'll be releases of movies at...

That's an on-going challenge. Unless the director or someone is involved who is consciously trying to alter the movie (see Lucas, Scott, Coppola), it's usually done to emulate what they think the...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

Miller's Crossing was #5 on my ballot. I think any contemplation I had of leaving retro-noirs off of a neo-noir ballot got erased when this one came into play.

Reservoir Dogs - It's actually...

So, trying to think through this analogy, which movies were shot on digital, originally at the PQ of a DVD?

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Neo-noir Countdown

I've seen both Jackie Brown and Blow Out, voted for neither. No strong opinion on their presence here. I guess Blow Out feels more political thriller to me (which isn't out of place with the rest of...

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Film Noir Countdown

I didn't around to The Big Heat (it was somewhere on the Watchlist) before the countdown.

Crumbs munged his terms a bit, but there was a comparison to motion smoothing at the end, which captures the issue that's been present in every re-mastering to date. A.I. is just on everyone's mind...

Well, I think the OP's issue is with the usage of the term. Which now becomes an subject of etymology, which, if we start referring to things as a "film franchise" at a later date, we might start...

I haven't seen a lot of Gyllenhaal's performances, and Nightcrawler might have actually been the first one. I will say, the face, and especially the pitch of his voice doesn't match the general...

High and Low - I do not particularly care for Kurosawa, so unsurprisingly this did not make my ballot. I will say, the parts of Kurosawa films I usually dislike the most are when people are talking,...

Ace in the Hole was, checks list, #4 on my ballot. Dark melodrama noir did well on my ballot. I look at the literal circus in the movie and think, "I guess this is an example of satire that doesn't...

Though I was just googling something else related to Tubi and saw someone claiming on X that Tubi is asking content producers to start editing versions of their movies/etc.
But it's X, so who knows.
