To each their own. I enjoy a large assortment of films. The Avengers and Batman Begins - or 12 Monkeys and The Usual Suspects - or The Triplettes of Bellville and The Lives of Others - or 12 Angry Men and The Seventh Seal. Hardly fair to say that someone who would 'enjoy' 'cinema' would 'rather pluck their eyes out' than 'watch' a 'film' like this 'anywhere'.

Interestingly, you used the term 'Film' to describe The Avengers, which some people would jump down YOUR throat for - since this was an almost All-Digital release.



Avengers was shot on Alexa at 2K resolution. It's digital through and through, though there's a few 35mm prints screening out there.

I saw some clamoring to see it on 35mm, which is a little ridiculous in this case.


I think it's going to be a while until even the most pretentiousness arts majors talk about how "they just adore bytes"

Will movie directors shout "fclose()" at the end of scene I wonder?
