(Reviews) Forum: JoBlo | | I'm not a dino expert, and it's a minor point, but didn't the Pleio-whatever have fins instead of legs? Anyway, yes it is interesting judging the different impact between seeing a film on large v. small screen. In the Video Room I've run since 1995 at the local sf convention, I initially used a 'big' tv (52" I think). Two years later we moved to a video projector & 8X6' screen, and never looked back. I have repeatedly seen how films (and, for that matter, still photos) get more impressive the larger the size of the screen. You'd find a lot of the original King Kong not quite as creaky, and some of it is, when seen on a big screen. You should've checked out the reactions of fans who saw 2001 for the first time on a bigger screen than a tv. It was like a whole new movie. In many respects I think younger film goers have little idea of what the impact can be of older films when shown on a big screen. Of course, it is not just special effects which improve with screening size. When I showed The Maltese Falcon (well, not during the con as it ain't sf, but when I took the video projector & screen home before returning it) I saw all sorts of facial expressions on the actors I'd never seen before. For example, check out Mary Astor's facial expressions changing when she has her very first scene with Bogart. Just as she is approaching him, you see her 'getting ready' to lay a line on him. Great stuff!! |
