I’m back to the original design for the Brain this morning; still on the lookout for something that works better…
Watched Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies” last night, which is a load better than anyone gave it credit for when it came out. It is weird, initially, to be seeing 1933 rendered in unapologetic High Definition (unapologetic because Mann makes no effort to make it look like film); everything is ultra-crisp and the depth-of-field is infinite in places, which really makes it look like contemporary news footage.
But by the time the gun battles start in earnest, you start to appreciate that this is reality, not nostalgia; this is what it would really be like to be trapped in a cabin as the FBI riddle the place with bullets.
You may not think you like HD yet, people, but it is the future. So quit your whining and suck it up.
Staying on a theme, here’s Otis Taylor’s “Ten Million Slaves”, as featured in the film…
Oh go on then, you might as well have the trailer as well…
That’s it for now.
