Yeah, I don’t get the point of rating films. Just say whether you liked it or disliked it and why. The idea of a grading scale for art always baffled me. How can you rate movies like Citizen Cane and Animal House on the same scale? They’re totally different.

I was distracted by Citizen Cane so I missed the rest. What’s wrong with trying to quantify how much you liked or disliked something? I could say I liked ANH and ROTJ but that doesn’t mean I enjoy one way more than the other.

It would probably be clear based on what you say about your feelings towards each movie which one you liked better.

Also, I think it’s pretty clear DE is on the same page as you there.

I don’t. He was one of two instigators which prompted my post.

Are you referring to this?

I don’t know, I’d probably rather watch Home Alone 2 than TFA.

Is your taste in film that poor?

If so, I’d like to make it clear that I didn’t know MFM was being serious with that statement; I thought he was making fun of me. So I figured I’d indirectly insult myself – resort to self-deprecating humour in a roundabout manner – as a way of showing there were no hard feelings.

No hard feelings at all. I was totally serious.

Yeah so I don’t see what you’re getting at with the GIF then.

Someone accused me of violating rule 6 when I originally posted the GIF back on 02/14. I was refuting that accusation.

See the politics thread.

Also, it’s just a forum. Sometimes I think you need to remember that.

*sigh*

Hey, he’s got a point. There’s a material world out there.

EDIT: And by the way, I really have no idea what you’re talking about with the moderation stuff. Just report things that need to be reported.

Sometimes they delete the files and it has to be recreated from scratch. I believe that this is Deep Space Nine’s problem right now.

IIRC someone from the effects team stated most if not all the files still existed, even put out a few sample renders which were beautiful.

That’s good to know. The effects work on that show was very well done. I feel like DS9’s vfx were more quality over quantity whereas a show like Babylon 5 had to take the opposite approach.

I think that those effects have been deleted or lost since those samples were made.

I wonder how effectively the existing effects shots could be upscaled, if it would be too jarring intercut with hd re-scans of the live-action footage.

The cgi for Firefly was only 480p IIRC. I wonder how it looks on blu-ray, haven’t rewatched any of that show since my friend let me borrow the dvd more than a decade ago.

They would look pretty bad. They’re already a little jarring on the DVDs.
