I'm not dismissing digital. I've shit student films and such on it, it's quick and easy 

Sorry it's just, what a typo to make!

(Now making sure my post is star wars related)

What makes you think I don't just have a low opinion of my student films :p? You can decide.

...and if this continues, I'll never have the opportunity to see Ran or Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen, a longtime dream of mine...

Why not? Lawrence has been digitally restored to at least 4K by Richard Harris, so a digital projection looking like a newly struck interpositive should be totally possible and the same goes for most important catalogue films, except for STAR WARS of course.

Maybe so. It's entirely possible I'm just a Luddite or I've been seeing it on the wrong equipment, but I don't care for the look of HD myself, I prefer film. But maybe Harris could make it look like it did on opening night in 1962 and the sun will shine from David Lean's grin up in heaven, I don't know, I'd just love to see proper film prints of many films in the cinema at some point if I have the chance.

His fault for having a smartphone tied to himself.

Otherwise I'd drop it, OK  ;)!

Those waiting for 3D to die are in for a long wait. I heard some glassless 3D displays were shown off at the Consumer Electronics Show recently.

If the studios would remaster and release some of the classics like House of Wax or Creature from the Black Lagoon, I'd seriously consider investing in the gear to watch those at home.

Yes, I'm all to aware. Personally, I wish it'd die, but it looks like no such luck. Maybe something will come along that will actually impress me, but I doubt it. I'm still bummed Sony aren't making TVs anymore, I've always liked their stuff. But, anyway....
