  I get it, on one hand I can see trying to make sure it looks good for years to come. And I also see why people are upset from a historical context. As a person who grew up with aliens and terminator on vhs/laserdisc/dvd, I love and appreciate the film grain. And I can appreciate some removal of the grain to help with clarity. But remove every bit of grain makes it look and feel like a different movie. I also understand why they attempted to update the audio to go with the film, but again I also appreciate leaving the original audio alone so that people can have a little of the original left to enjoy. Over all I consider this to be both a good and bad thing. Cameran is doing things most studios don’t or won’t do which is allowing studios and other group who do restoration work to see what the winds of change are requesting of them.

  There is a bit of advise for actors/actresses from a director (forgot their name) where they said “if the only thing about you is that you are on time/early, and you are pleasant to work with, you will always find a job in acting. If you don’t care and lack punctuality, and are hard to work with or around (if necessary) then you will find fewer and fewer opportunities as time goes on.”

  It doesn’t help that there is an interview from George at Cannes where he was presented the Palm de’or and he mentioned and compared his tinkering with Michelangelo’s Sistine chapel. The biggest issue with the comparison other than the ego boost is that when Michelangelo was done with a work he left it alone, he didn’t go back 5-10 later and asked to “fix a few issues he had with it” he would go wholesale a redo it from scratch (sculpture, not painting) to fix the issues he saw from before. So George can go eff off with his comparison and be happy that he is rich. And becoming extra unpopular every time he opens his big mouth.

  You can’t just say that, and not tell us. I want to celebrate with a cocktail in their honor.
