Not seen Wall Street, Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Fatal Attraction, Citizen Kane, Hunger Games or sequels, Twilight or sequels, Raging Bull, Thelma & Louise. As a rule I won't watch sports related films, war films or any "stoner" comedies (ie anything with Seth Rogen in it).

The digital memories used today are so expansive that long takes are now possible due, in large part, to the possibilities from the latest technologies. Yet, stll, the resultant images do not have the richness of quality that real film once conveyed. They are dead and flat and in the vast majority of cases, completely colorless. There's more and worse, but it would take a book to cover the bulk of what is wrong with digital. For instance, most people can more or less spot CGI because there is a bog standard synthetic aspect to its look that can be sensed immediately. I couldn't agree more. When they started digital grading (around the late 90s I think), they'd scan the original negatives & grade the HD scan, which gave them far more control over the image than ever before, make the picture flat or contrasty, pull down the colour & change individual colours. It seems that the directors & DOPs that sat in on those grading sessions most liked the way that the colour saturation could be turned down, -15%, -40%, -80%, & everyone had trouble making neutral greys grey, they almost always had a green tinge to them. All this plus a liking for a very cool (bluish) picture, meant that we had 15+ years of big expensive movies looking like shit. Some directors bucked the trend, Tarantino's films always looked good. I remember grading the rushes for a couple of days of Ridley Scott's, Robin Hood (I used to de a bit of freelance at Technicolor sometimes) & thinking that if nothing else, this film will look stunning, well I eventually saw the Blu-ray & it was the usual drab flat look (& a crap film). I think (hope) they've got the hang of it by now.
