Okay EdH,
It has been fun, but I guess we will have to agree to disagree on aesthetic grounds... I'm pretty sure we have scared everyone out of this thread that was supposed to be focusing on Alliance’s poor DVDs... so I agree with this statement of yours:
and while I am signing off...
You'd have to be Superman to notice the 4% difference Ed... you don't notice it and that statement is a ruse to support your other statements against the Columbia Tri-Star... but fair enough...
In regards to Rublev you said:
While Andrei Tarkovsky said:
Okay you were a little baited into that one... but as my son's middle name is Andrei, I would steer clear of these references... 
I still feel certain most directors (talking away from their distributor ) would not want their film, cropped, hazy with inaccurate washed-out colors... but you, your monkeyboy, and the rest are entitled to their opinion... ( had to squeeze in one more "monkeyboy" reference
Cheers,

| I want to make a film about Andrei Rublov, the great 15th century Russian painter. I'm interested in the connections between creator's personality and his times. Thanks to the inborn subtlety a painter is able to comprehend the deepest meaning of the times he lives in and to present this meaning to the full. This will be neither a historical nor a biographical film. I'm fascinated by the process of artistic maturing of the painter and by the process of analyzing his talent. Andrei Rublov's work marks the apex of the Russian Renaissance. Rublov is one of the most outstanding figures in history of our culture. His life and art contain an unusual wealth of material. " |
