Wait Fincher was on everyone's list??? What friends is QT emailing with? I hope that wasn't on Edgar Wright's list, one of QT's friends that actually has real talent.

Fincher is a hack cynic whose work will be forgotten in a few decades. Linklater's had his moments but Before series is the some seriously self-involved insipid stuff.

Digital cinema killed the projection of film … and video killed the radio star. I mean it's not like cinema is really about the storytelling, right? Seeing something in pristine quality will obviously make people unable to appreciate the nuances of … whatever he thinks he's talking about.
The more things change, the more they're different. So what? Move on. If you hate change so much, start a museum and sit around musing about the glorious days of yesteryear to kids who don't really get it – the way that you don't really get them.

Cinema survived the introduction of sound, the introduction of color, the introduction of widescreen, all of which was going to be the death of the purity of the artform. It will survive digital.

QT's amusing, insufferable, self serving (most times), but always passionate. And there's something about that laser-like passion that makes you love everything about movies again, and go out and finally shoot that script you've buried for years (on digital, of course).

"the irony that he called digital the death of cinema and announced a potential project for the small screen on the same day evidently lost on him"

Can't he dislike digital projection in theaters, while still being interested in television? The point you were trying to make there is evidently lost to meâ¦

So tired of the old man nostalgic and fatalistic discourse on the 35mm vs Digital. I don't understand how the vitality of art be tributary to its material medium. Cinema is moving images with sounds and music edited together, not the printing on celluloid or information written in 1s and 0s.
