Shocked but surprising and very funny thing on Argo (1 Viewer)

[EnricoE]

when inserted argo into the player and pressed play, i was shocked. i mean really shocked and after the shock i yelled "ben you crazy bastard, thank you!"

what the hell happened you may ask... well, for the first time in years i saw the good old 70's warner bros logo when movie started.

it's funny and sad that this might be the only chance we'll see the old warner logo in hd. damn you warner for putting the new logo on all your old movies

btw, it's great movie too

Nope - MAGIC MIKE's got it, too.

And so does every Dirty Harry that used it.

And so does the blu-ray of Streisand's A STAR IS BORN

Yeah but that WAS the logo, in its day.

We're talking about the new ones that brought it back, for movies historically period-set in the 70's. Ben, you crazy bastard.

That's not quite what the initial post sounded like...

i wasn't aware that a handful of "old" movies had the original logo. for me it was the first time to see it on blu-ray/hd-dvd.

This, from IMBD

In order to make the movie feel like the 1970s, Ben Affleck shot it on regular film, cut the frames in half, and blew those images up 200% to increase their graininess. He also copied camera movements and bustling office scenes from All the President's Men for sequences depicting CIA headquarters; for L.A. exteriors, he borrowed from The Killing of a Chinese Bookie.

How do you cut film in half ?

More than likely, the sequences in question were shot on Super 8 and Super 16 and printed onto regular 35mm stock.

I heard they basically used Techniscope for the Iran stuff.
