Pristine only happens opening weekend though. With digital projection taking over the multiplexes, a lot of people are never going to see a print that's been running for months, or in the case of Star Wars, an entire year. Movies just don't stay in theaters that long anymore.
It's the memory of seeing those not so pristine prints, is what some of us are responding to on an almost subliminal level with PG, and now PSB.
You should come to our cheap theatre. Ever since everything started going digital, the quality of the actual film reels that the cheap place show has taken a huge nosedive.
It's gotten a lot better lately, but the other day we saw The Fighter, and there were three spots where the film just went completely yellow for a little bit.
