Actually, the reason the 35mm looks "too smooth" to you compared to the GOUT is because the GOUT came from an interpositive. Even with the low resolution, the excessive grain, the clipped whites, the DVNR and the other problems with the GOUT, there is still some visible detail in it that was not in evidence on actual projection prints, due to the fact that there are at least two additional generations of duping between an IP and a print.

EDIT: What I just said is incorrect - listen to Harmy, not me.
