How you get so big, eating food of this kind?Something I've noticed- People will get on youtube and post on a video (from, say, the 1950s) and say, "What, no 1080p back in the 50s? LOL"
Somewhere along the line people have picked up the idea that 1080 HD is a new invention and that anything older than 10 years is "lower quality". Of course, this is totally wrong and older film is not "360p" or "480p".
Just a pet peeve...
I wish that I could just wish my feelings away...but I can't. Wishful wishing can only lead to wishes wished for in futile wishfulness, which is not what I wish to wish for.

Jedi KnightMany movies from the 1950s are available on Blu-ray, so only an idiot would think that a Youtube video uploaded to 320 resolution reflects the state of technology of that time. Youtube only introduced 480p resolution around 2007, and HD resolution was only introduced around 2009. "What they didn't have high definition in 2008?"
When Wizard of Oz was restored, a movie from the 1930s, let alone 50s, they scanned the negatives at 8K resolution in order to get all the quality. I don't think theaters to this day show anything better than 4K, and to find a 4K theater is itself still kind of rare.
The Secret History of Star Wars -- now available on Amazon.com!
"When George went back and put new creatures into the original Star Wars, I find that disturbing. It’s a revision of history. That bothers me."
--James Cameron, Entertainment Weekly, April 2010

Imagination PrincessWell, thankfully, the original line was "over 8,000," so, in a very meta sense, he just meme'd you all to death!
There is no lingerie in space...

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming... Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
