***If you're happy the the visual equivalent of a happy meal to watch your movies, more power to you.Thank you! I was getting concerned!
But you are as clueless as one can be. When I watch a Bicycle Thief, with all its imperfections, I somehow never feel I am consuming a happy meal.
But then, of course, perhaps I am just not aware... so thank you once again!

I'm not saying that a high-definition picture is the most important aspect of cinema, or even ONE of the most important. Of course, sceenplay, dialogue, direction, and so many other things, would have to be deemed more important. But to insist that picture quality is irrelevant to the cinematic experience is just plain silly.Visual realism, the verisimilitude of the cinema to real experience, to absolutely essential to its power. Anything that advances this cause HAS to be worthwhile.
By the way, do you wear glasses? I would think not -- even if you needed them.
***But to insist that picture quality is irrelevant to the cinematic experience is just plain silly.I, of course, said nothing of a sort. What I said was that I would not lament one bit the fact that the already great picture we get today will not make another small leap.
As far as my glasses... hell if I know why it is mentioned here, but of course you are wrong - I wear them when I need it, reading and working on computer.
