It'll have to wait I'm afraid.

These things keep.

Thay have for a while now...

Heh I guess so. 😛

Ancient stuff...

Is it me or do movies seem to age much quicker these days? I remember being a kid in the eighties, being curious about all these films made in the 60s, 70s, heck even the 50s and earlier. Nowadays a movie over seven years old is considered OLD...

Depneds what dates it really. Cannibal the musical is a period movie.
Therefore it seems to age less that something set in a more contemporary setting.

True. But what about the classics like Ben Hur, Cleopatra, Giant etc... all period pieces but now considered ancient.

Yeah but the the production equipment used all date themselves.
It looks old in quality terms. Unlike Gladiator for example.

Which will look old in 20 years as well.

I still think the "old' movies are quite stunning.

True First Blood might look old now, but I can from this timeframe still see the quality difference between that and Ben Hurr/Gone with the wind.

It's mostly a different style.

I just bought Quo Vadis on Blu Ray... these movies look amazing when restored.

And thats ancient, isnt it.

Well, only 50 years.

Yes. But in movie terms....

Nowadays yes.

Yeah the gap has widened more noticeably this century.
Its all Bay's fault.

Bay again... grrrrr

His stain is already on Nighmare on Elm Street as producer.

Stain? That's putting it mildly.
