While I absolutely hate what is being done digitally today, I also believe this is a temporary phenomenon. Sound, color, TV, etc all had been proclaimed at one point or another to kill the spirit of the movies, and yet all eventually tamed to enhance our experience. Today we have the generation of directors not capable of using the digital properly, but that will change. Some of us old farts will lament the departure of celluloid, but just like with color, you can have it done perfectly and to your advantage, or you can have Turner colorization. Beaut Travail would not be a great film without its colors.

Of course I am not talking about that abomination commonly called "special effects". Those who love them deserve what they get, we are talking about the fact that most films will be done in digital format in some not too distant future.
