I went to see fast and furious 4 in the cinema on friday on my own in a desparate attempt to prevent myself from drinking that night. Not as good as Death Race which had fast cars but also machine guns attached to the said card. Theoretically, a far more interesting premise.

Even though I haven't seen it yet, Terminator 4 is my favourite film of all time. Disappoint me and I will throw myself in front of a train

Agamemnon

Anything with Lanny Barbie in it. :pac:

Just in case anyone mistakes this for being true, it's not.

35mm has a far higher resolution than Blu-Ray DVD. The "grainy" effect that you perceive actually comes because of the laziness of some studios using the original master copy to create numerous negative copies, degrading the quality of the original.

Obviously long term storage of the originals causes some degradation also, so some older "classics" (I use the term sparingly since some people mention films such as Fast and Furious among their favourites so I am forced to assume taste in films is sparing in AH) will suffer badly from this long term storage. The archiving systems and technologies used now are far superior to those in use when The Jazz Singer ushered in the talkies.

So, in short, when you say you prefer 70mm to 35mm cause of modern technology making it look grainy, you are totally mistaken in that assumption.
