Why don’t movies look like movies anymore?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTUM9cFeSo - an 8 minute video from the Patrick Tomasso youtube channel.
 

The blurb: 'Remember when movies used to look good?

Rich shadows, bold colors, and depth. But now? A lot of films and shows look flat, dull, and lifeless. In this video, I break down why modern cinematography feels so uninspired, and it’s NOT digital’s fault. Let’s talk about dynamic range, lighting, and why intentional choices matter more than ever.’

Sorry if I missed this, but is there any indication as to what is being done with the soundtrack restoration?

There is a little about this back on Page 14 - here, and recent uploads of the ‘Audio Clips’ to the ALI youtube channel have been made available in the ‘Video Clips’ section - here.

FAQ #3 also has some brief notes on the ‘Audio Sources’ being used for the ALI Restoration. 👍
 

I thought the ST was two-thirds okay - let down by a very poor landing in the final third of the trilogy.

If you’re looking for scripts and ideas on the Sequel Trilogy… then An Index + ‘Info & Help’ Thread for… Script Writing and Re-writing may be of interest.

As well as the Sequel Trilogy section of An Index + ‘Info & Help’ Thread for… Beyond the Original Trilogy - and the Sequel Trilogy sections of Project Index: Star Wars Fan Edits & Other Projects. 👍

and you’ll probably find more threads on the subject in An Index + ‘Info & Help’ Thread for… Original Trilogy Discussion and An Index + ‘Info & Help’ Thread for… Theatrical Cuts vs. Subsequent Releases

Good luck with it, mate. 👍
 

PS - it may be worth asking a moderator to move your other OT-based threads into the Original Trilogy section of the site - they’ll likely get more views and discussion in there.

Dead Man’s Wire

www.imdb.com/title/tt15181326 : film is out in January 2026.

 
'Check out the Dead Man’s Wire trailer for this upcoming film starring Bill Skarsgård, Dacre Montgomery, Colman Domingo, Cary Elwes, Myha’la, and Al Pacino.

Based on a true story, the 1977 kidnapping of a prominent banker grips the nation and turns the abductor into an outlaw folk hero. As the media frenzy peaks, the standoff becomes a spectacle of desperation, defiance and blurred justice, which resonates even today.

Dead Man’s Wire, directed by Gus Van Sant, opens in theaters in January 2026.’

A thread for ‘Upcoming Film & TV’ content…

 
Whether Sci-Fi & Fantasy, action & adventure, thrillers & chillers, espionage, light hearted fun, comedies, independent films, or ‘under the radar’ TV content, or simply any moody or atmospheric ‘out there’ material.

It may hopefully help some of us suffering with the old age, forgetfulness, not being on social media much etc… in overlooking or simply being unaware of the likes of season 5 of Stranger Things aired last week - and a fair few other shows too (The Witcher, the new Dr Who spin-off series news & trailers, and the return of Scrubs). So I thought it may be worth having a thread on here for anything that is ‘coming soon’ that may be of interest to us on here to keep tabs on…
 

If anyone knows of a good site that lists new and upcoming Films and TV Series… let’s have 'em. 👍

Please post up any teasers or trailers for film or TV - or a link to IMDB - so we can all get a gist of what it is about etc.

Claudia Black won’t be in Ahsoka Season 2…

“Well, I’m going to be transparent. They picked up season two, picked me up with it, and then Disney, which is structuring things differently these days, could not pay me what I needed to be paid as a single mother to keep all my responsibilities going at home in Los Angeles, because they were filming in London. It was not something that they could make happen, and therefore, I had to bow out for season two.”

35mm Film Formats Explained

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pema-zdPF2g - a 12 minute video from the In Depth Cine youtube channel.
 

The blurb: ‘By far the most popular film format is 35mm. But what you may not know is that there are then 3 further format choices that need to be made between: 2-perf, 3-perf or 4-perf. But what is a perf and how does it affect both the budget and how the footage looks?’

If so, this will be a day long remembered…

We’ve been calling for this for so long. The 50th anniversary is our best hope. And it seems like it may actually be happening.
