This is something I’ve dreamt of doing for at least 15 years. A “Paul Anderson” double feature. Two badass movies from vastly different auteurs who happen to have the same name. Dreams really do come true. Get your tix now. classiccinemas.com/showtime/…

Educative minute: Film twitter, please know that all these "amateur 35mm scans" comparison are deceptive. 1. Films are made of atoms (nitrate, acetate, polyester), and unlike digital data, they are vulnerable to entropy like everything else. 2. For the same movie, not all theatrical projection prints were made with the same process. Most were poor quality with short shelf-life (6 years according to Martin Scorsese). 3. Dye compounds are unstable, decaying at different rates over time, their colors degrading, fading & shifting. Notice how most of these "35mm scans" are bluish & faded, with contrast added in post after scanning. 4. Even if you had a perfectly manufactured, flawlessly stored & maintained, and masterfully scanned film, digitalization remains an interpretation process. A projected film is pure light, and mapping a RAW capture to the displayable dynamic range of screens is a subjective process, not a perfect science. So never interpret these 35mm scans as "how a film was supposed to look". No two surviving 35mm films look the same, and none look the way they did at release. These are just films degraded by hundreds of theatrical runs & decade of chemical decay. This organic "instagram filter" evokes a certain nostalgia, but it's an illusion. There is no pristine original to go back to. Even the original negatives stored by studios require month of digital cleaning to be considered "usable". It's all a subjective process.
