No More Wires & Strings


I agree wholeheartedly with Jeff, George Feltenstein, and Robert Harris regarding yesterday's posts on digitally removing wires. This has actually been an issue since people started watching DVDs on HD screens.

Shortly after we got our HDTV, Ashley and I popped in Jurassic Park to see what it looked like. Everything was going fine until we got to Nedry and the Dilophosaurus and saw the wires attached to the dino's frills. We were horrified! We didn't see those years ago in the theater, nor had we on our SD set. I don't hope, I expect the rumored Blu-ray coming next fall will have these wires removed. This is not an issue of too much or not enough grain in a picture, which is debatable. Wanting a "wires" version is like demanding a cut of Star Wars without the lightsaber blades glowing.
