In a day and age, where film companies spend MILLIONS of dollars restoring these beautiful classics, (yes, including Night of the living dead in that category!!), whats the point?!!; when have a generation of millennials viewing these restored films on a 3” screen on their iphone, with one crummy simulated “speaker” for the sound track...!!! I’m mean, are you serious??!! The first episode, the narrator admits to the fact he’s proud of himself, because he watches the film on a laptop!! Woohoo... “With a big screen and speakers!!” (My emphasis).
These films are preserved and remastered for so much more than can be appreciated watching on a phone or computer... If a self proclaimed film critic doesn’t even know that how, how in the hell can we trust anything he says as far as the beauty of the film is concerned? After all, applauding yourself for not checking your email even once during the film, says little to be about the grain in the film on its original black and white production....
Grow up and learn something about films, and life in general kids, and give it another try once you’ve done that much. Perhaps at that point it will be worth that grain of salt to watch....
