Ok it’s really just a post to Roger Eberts blog, lol. But if you know me you know I do love him.
Why has no one considered the idea that a large number of film lovers (as opposed to movie fans) couldn’t care less how a “perfect” the visual from the screen is or how impressive the sound.
Some of us just want an intriguing story, skilled acting, and if we are fortunate enough, good editing, lighting, directing and cinematopgraphy. That’s it. Why can’t hollywood focus on that?
If the movie is banal or has a story we have seen before who cares how clear and large the picture is? Give me a good film on a small black and white tv using an antenna then the usual dreck on a really big, high definition screen any day.
