It’s not just the nit-picking, it’s also the disingenuous unbalanced internet campaigns waged by some that love to whine, complain etc. and veil it under some elitist high-brow notion that they love film. DNR and EE is just the current flavor, the last was BD50 replication problems.
You know what people truly, truly love film?
Not the online amateur digital video janitors that can’t watch a Blu-ray movie for more than 15min. or so without posting something negative about it on the internet or posting a forensic screenshot.
It’s the guys and gals working in the industry that have met and spent time
over the years with indie filmmakers to offer advice……and that’s indies that have shot in only 16mm. or Super8 before digital cameras became so high quality and affordable.
It’s guys and gals that voluntarily serve on highly technical committees associated with the movie industry or film preservation (on their
own time).
Its guys and gals in the industry that serve as visiting Professors for film schools such as U.C.L.A., etc.
It’s hobbyists that rent or buy a DVD or Blu-ray and get so engrossed with the film that unless it is a total abysmal visual or audio abomination (which is few and far between) finish the movie (if it met their particular tastes regarding storyline, character development, etc.) with a happy smile on their face for having left the real world for 2 hours of escapism.
Not the online fanatics constantly hyping to the nth degree whatever is negative about an anomalous Blu-ray, DVD or whatever the next generation home media version of a motion picture brings us. You will never satisfy those people because they are inherently unhappy individuals to begin with.
Bill Hunt recently posted a very significant response to me that some here may have missed or just glanced over………..

^
The
key sentences being……..
“I agree that the situation was getting a bit out of hand and that it wasn't helping matters any.”
and -
”Especially after the format war, the studios really don't think much of the boards by and large.”
The above ^ is absolutely true and the reason is because it is believed that there is no real sincerity or proportionate input in regards to deficiencies regarding the format. The studio people not only don’t or
very rarely read the forums anymore but, they don’t want to
even know what is being posted on any of the forums anymore because it is so grossly inaccurate or over-exaggerated…………….and often times just plain technically incorrect.
