The worst prints are release prints. Contrary to popular belief, release prints are crap and have at best the equivalent of 720p in terms of spatial resolution when projected. The chemical process smears the resolution due to uneven gate speeds. Then you got dirt and damage on top of that.
What is this, I don't even...
How did they think a "chemical process" smears the film?? Uneven gate speeds? That would never happen, but if it did, that would lead to jumped frames, not resolution problems. What a moron.
I agree. He most definitely is a moron.
He's almost as bad as those people who claim that GOUT is the best possible preservation due to "70s film limitations".
WTF
Maybe he's referring to generation loss when creating a theatrical print. I don't know about the chemical process of creating a print but I know that there is negative -> interpositive -> internegative -> theatrical print. Except Mike Verta said the technicolor IB prints of SW were printed straight from the negative itself.
That said, I think comparing a theatrical print to 720p digital resolution is a bit weird. But this guy at least thinks the originals should be preserved.
The other guy you're referring to is obi-rob-kenobi-4 AKA Sifo-Dyas. That guy calls us haters just because we love the originals.
