Glorifying a man who fought to keep slavery in effect is now part of preserving culture? Maybe they should make a statue of Bin Laden and put it in some museum too. He's part of humanity's history after all.£ Judging history and historical personalities by modern moral standards is stupid. Morals a...

The Indian solders question is a complete non-issue that doesn't withstand any rational inspection. The people complaining have their political reasons or are just misguded. Like some guy on reddit who wrote that there were millions of men in the Indian Army - like that would have any relavence to w...

That Quentin doesn't approve?

If it doesn't show up as a second run either, later this year, that's that, I guess.

I wonder if the fact that New Beverly isn't showing it means anything (they did show Interstellar, IIRC).

What do you mean by "HDR was used very mildly on this movie"?

As far as I understand HDR in its current form is basically an added affectation. Not that different from converting a non 3D film to 3D. For a film like Dunkirk it's basically revisionist, even if approved by Nolan.

For example see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/35_mm_film#Technical_specifications So directors who film in film film knowing in advance tha...

Sword and Sandal epic. I'll second this. I'd love to see him tackle Alexander the Great. What's more epic then the story of Alexander? It was tried by Oliver Stone, and the film is pretty much a mess. I actually think that Alexander is pretty solid as far as Hollywood historical epics go (usually t...

Grain, if anything, is a sign of quality. It means the image is resolved down to the grain. If there is no grain in a presentation it either can't resolve it properly or it has been tampered with. It's also normal for for grain to vary from shot to shot because they are not all lit and exposed the s...

In principle, I don't think any information would be lost from the negative to the print.

But it is.

You don't want the edge of the frame, with hair and other crap, on the screen.
The projector should do some cropping and so should the screen masking, if it exists.
