'have a look at it if you don't think film can reach the level of perfection as digital.'

I'm sorry if I implied that film was inherently lower fidelity format for shooting on or exhibiting, or something like that, than digital - not really what I was going for. I haven't ever seen a truly flawless presentation of a film print, but I can appreciate the colors/detail and such are way different. The difference is stark enough in still photography, too...

And on reflection, you're right, of course, that PE and PSB don't exactly have that worn out quality. I don't quite know what it is then that draws me to it. Maybe I just have an affinity for this kind of grunginess? It's the closest I'll get, I think, to watching Star Wars at the Kent (Brooklyn's dirtiest, cheapest, ugliest hole in the wall)

Aside: all this wonky talk of the sound mixes reminded me of Scofield. Now that I understand a bit more about what it takes to properly sync sound to PE/PSB, I can better appreciate what it is we were asking of you and wouldn't dream of pestering you about it...
